I hope so. I can barely remember what mine were.

That's old age setting in.

If it is of any comfort: even that you forgot by aging.

Turn 6 - First titans


After the defeat at the hands of Kazon Pommar, Captain Kassiopeia Janeway realised she had to enlist Vidiians again and she provided more Klingon DNA for their needs. Skanky Burns, leader of the Vidiians joined Captain Janeway’s alliance with the Kazon Nistrim First Maje Joncha Culluh and the three attacked another (!) Kazon faction – the great Kazon Relora. Skanky Burns also sent a saboteur who had a small capsule implanted under his skin, containing a deadly virus for which only Vidiians have the antidote, but the spy was captured. Rather than betraying the military secrets under torture, the spy activated the device and the virus killed the entire Sparrowhawk’s intelligence service. First Maje Haron Sparrowhawk had to order the facility blasted using disruptors to prevent the disease from spreading.

His successful elimination of this biological threat was small comfort though.


Battle No.1: Skanky Burns, joncha and Kassiopeia attack Sparrowhawk
Skanky Burns: 6LD, 3FD, 11TD, 2TB, 2LF, OoB: FFT-TLL, normal, normal
Joncha: 7LD, 7FD, 6[2]TD, 1FB, OoB: FFT-TLL, normal, normal
Kassiopeia: 6LB, 5FB, 5TB, OoB: FFT-TLL, normal, normal
Allied total: 13LD, 10FD, 17[2]TD, 6LB, 6FB, 7TB, 2LF, OoB: FFT-TLL, normal, normal
Sparrowhawk: 6LD, 6FD, 6TD, 4FB, 2TB, OoB: FTL-LFT, normal, normal


58F – 36F – Sparrowhawk takes 22 hits
116F – 30T – Sparrowhawk takes 86 hits
186T – 24L – Sparrowhawk takes 162 hits and his entire fleet is destroyed.

Sparrowhawk is eliminated. His bases are split like this:

Skanky Burns gets 3 bases.
Joncha gets 3 bases.
Kassiopeia gets 2 bases because he sent his orders last.

The Species 8472 has not forgotten what Federation nanoprobe weapons have done to them, so they decided to attack Kassiopeia again. But this time they sent only two scouts to avoid heavier losses if Captain Janeway chooses to deploy nanoprobes. The scouts found two Kassiopeia’s bases deserted and occupied them without any struggle.


*******


The Trabe and the Kazon Pommar have forged an unholy alliance in an effort to stop the raids of the Species 8472. They were completely caught by a surprise.


Battle No.2: GeoModder and Theben attack Smiley
GeoModder: 2LT, 3FT, 2TT, 2LD, 1TD, 4LB, 2TB, OoB: TLT-LFF, back off, normal, fight to the death
Theben: 2LT, 1FT, 4TT, 10LB, OoB: TLT-LFF, back off, normal, fight to the death
Allied total: 4LT, 4FT, 6TT, 2LD, 1TD, 14LB, 2TB, OoB: TLT-LFF, back off, normal, fight to the death
Smiley: 36LB, 1LC, 1LF, 2FF, 2TF, OoB: No defensive OoB received. Offensive OoB used: FFT-TLL, back off, normal


40T – 4F – Smiley takes 36 hits
35L – 2F – Smiley takes 33 hits
40T – 2T – Smiley takes 38 hits

Smiley loses all lower sized vessels and also 15 laser battleships and one of his laser battleships is damaged. The battle continues:

17.5L – 0T – Smiley takes 17 hits
20F – 31.5L – Allies take 11 hits
20F – 31.5L – Allies take 11 hits

Smiley loses three more laser battleships while GeoModder loses two torpedo battleships and one torpedo dreadnaught. His torpedo titan is also slightly damaged. The battle rages on:

30T – 0F – Smiley takes 30 hits
35L – 0F – Smiley takes 35 hits
30T – 0T – Smiley takes 30 hits

Smiley is left with only 2 laser battleships and in the ensuing three rounds these last Mohicans are destroyed. Smiley loses all home bases. Since the allies failed to negotiate an agreement on the distribution of the captured bases, they will be split like this:

GeoModder takes 4 bases because he sent his orders first.
Theben takes 3 bases.

In the funniest attack of the turn, Spaced Cowboy ran into Jamski’s shield and lost one of his torpedo dreadnaughts, damaging the other. Stay tuned. It will be interesting to see how this one will be played out.

[:) Smiley]

****, that was colossaly stupid.

[Ljube]

Yes, if you had sent anything like LLXXXX, close in, you could have hurt them hard and possibly won (I didn't calculate).

[Theben]

Nah, we would've taken some more damage but would've destroyed him in the 2nd segment.

[:) Smiley]

Hey Theben, you got a spy headed your way this next turn.

[Theben]

Nice to know you don't have a shield.

[:) Smiley]

Oh yah, Geo, if I were you and were planning on attacking this next turn, make sure to keep at least two or three frigates at home.

[Theben]

Maybe if you weren't so aggressive and erratic you wouldn't have been targeted.

[:) Smiley]

Hey I was just settling some old scores from the past game, had you paid attention.

[Theben]

Oh, well I hadn't played last game. Sorry about that, I'll know better next time.

And if you really want to be safe, keep 4 Frigates at home

Not the way I wanted this game to end. I seem to recall in a PM I sent to an ally at one point something about "stirring up a hornet's nest"...looks like I am the one that got bitten!

Good Game all, I lasted longer then last game at least and am looking forward to Galactic Overlord VII already.

/me

Edit: By the way, I am hoping that everyone loses their self built bases now , and see what happens to strategy then! Only 4 of you left currently with Self Built bases, perhaps the others will make sure they take down your self built bases before being eliminated themselves

And a game question that this brings to mind...it seems that Frigates and Cruisers arn't used a whole lot, and wouldn't be unless a Overlord is reduced to 1/2 self built bases...any reason why everyone starts with 3 self built bases?

[joncha]

At least one alliance still believes in honour and loyalty...
