ACTA Campaign - The Alderbordon saga...
- Thread starter Hash
- Start date
I joined the ID gaming tourney on Turn 5, Just started witha fresh fleet, and nothing else. Mark did suggest giving me 5 truns of standard RR as well, but i declined that. As it stands, I now own more targets (a whole 2) thanthe centauri and Dilgar who have been in since turn 1

Well since we aint really started clobbering each other, I cant see why not. I suppose Hash could generate some more random resources, as in the difference for having an extra player.
What Fleet have you got TGT, and where in Surrey are you? We are all around, or near Farnborough.
TGT - I'd be happy to welcome other players, (but only local - nice one Black Omega 
) , part of the reason we are on the forums is to meet other players we can game with.
Since 2 (3 incl me.) of the other players don't seem to have a problem with it...
Send me a PM with your e-mail and we can talk about it if this is feasible or not.

fist time I've heard the centauri as "lacking the mobility of other races" though :lol: usually they're the most mobile around...!
Chern
Got to admit that's based on the unusual amount of Prefects I've seen...still may I should amend that to concentrating on their devastating battle lasers to the detriment of all round firepower?
Burger and I played our scenario tonight - boy was I whupped, I really played the worst tactical game of ACTA in my life - only a lucky die roll vs one white star save me from complete humiliation....
BTW our site has now changed address...

Although old one will still work.
I haven't done the dry battle report yet but Burger has submitted an IC one (with pics - although I did the ISN pic ) here...

You can revel in my failure to stop whitestars moving off the board

Well, thank Ivanova (aka God) the white stars managed to break thru.
I have a close relative (cousin) in Alderbordon II making some commercial arrangements and he was trapped by the blockade.
Last time I heard of him he was starving...
I´ve read the news today oh boy and I rejoiced.
What I mean is: great, congratulations for the winner, and thanks for the report.

Taken from the sentientrabbits website, a quote from the Narn propaganda machine;
"I call upon you all, to look at the conspiracy afoot. The malicious, conniving Centauri have struck out against the peaceful beings of the ISA. Not only that, they have used their puppets, the EA to assist in such an evil project. I urge everyone, not to stand to such dictators. Farmers, writes, engineers, artists, teachers, young, and old. Rise up against such oppressors, drive these demons back to their homeworld. People of the ISA, the Narn show you great pity. You shall be in our prayers, and we shall shall burn an eternal flame in our temples."

ISN Reporting...
The newly discovered system of Alderbordon continues to be rife with conflict and just as the ISA have reported the liberation of Alderbordon II from what seems to be a horrifying return of the Shadows - we have received reports of a Centauri blockade of the central tradelane to the system.
President Sheridan of the ISA immediately denounced the move by the Republic, addressing an assembly of ISA delegates with a 3 hour speech calling for the Centauri 'stranglehold' on trade to be 'stopped at all costs'.
A Centauri spokesman had this to comment:
"President who? The movements of the fleets of the Centauri Republic are subject only to the approval of the Emperor! This system that you humans have inexplicably called 'Alderbordon' is a protectorate of the Republic and as such subject to taxation by recognised appointees of the Emperor...this accusation of unlawful raiding is preposterous and an insult to the Republic - should the ISA wish to test the resolve of the Centauri fleet in this matter, then they will find us more than willing to oblige them"
-----------------------------------------------------------
In other news, an Earth Alliance scientific survey team has been investigating the Avgardian Asteroid Belt as part of a routine information gathering exercise. Analysts have pointed out that the route of the survey team is very close to ISA claimed territory, the leader of the expedition, Lt Takashima had this to comment.
"We have the best navigators in the fleet and besides...Earth Gov and the ISA have always been on friendly terms - I'm sure if we deviate a little from our flight plan, a friendly ISA ship will be on hand to guide us back on course"
We invited an ISA spokesperson to come on the broadcast to comment on Lt Takashima's statement, but the declined commenting only that;
"We have repeatedly asked the Earth Alliance to consider carefully the safety precautions taken by the expedition. There are dangerous magnetic fields in the Avgardian Belt and several ships have been lost there as a result - we would strongly advise against such a voyage at this time."
-----------------------------------------------------------
And finally, in a dramatic turn of events, the Narn Ambassador denounced the entire Centauri Republic for conspiring against the members of the ISA, manipulating the Earth Alliance into supporting a 'malicious' and 'conniving' 'evil project', vowing that the Kahri would not stand idly by and would take corrective action...although it is not clear what this action will be.
This just in...there are reports of a Narn Battlefleet approaching the Earth Colony of Alderbordon V - we go live to our correspondent on board the 'EAS Easy Target'
"Thank you Kate, what you're seeing is a feed from the ship's visual sensors - the Narn Fleet opened a Jump Point a few moments ago and have not yet responded to our hails, we have no reason to suppose they are hostile however and *BOOM*

Well, apologies folks, it seems we have lost our link - we will have an update as soon as it is available.
Until next time, this is Julie Evans, ISN News, Goodnight.
