Ha! As you can see, I have escaped from the Phantom Zone (some loser with a crystal opened a "back door" - whats with that?! Anyway my 2-D Minbari ships of doom were calling out for revenge against General Hash's evil Shadows. So who was I to stand in their way - well actually it wasn't the same ones, they had gotten some variants 
This time a Sharoos, 2x Shantavi, a Tigara and a Leshath. We rolled for scenery, getting a few less this time. A small planet, we searched for a suitable template, and eventually settled on a Rich Tea biscuit. It was named Planet Houston due to its strange surface.
Also an asteroid field, we couldn't find any asteroid models so decided to use broken bits of Rich Tea biscuit (are you spotting a theme here?). Here is Hash, "adjusting the density" of the asteroid field. As you can see from the number of biscuit pieces, it is density 8.
OK, on with the fight! The wussy Shadows started off hiding behind the asteroid field, so we'll skip that bit and move on to turn 2. The Minbari loomed ominously (well as ominously as you can do with paper ships). The Shadows decided that entering the asteroids would be a good idea - one of the scouts losing most of his shields in the process.
A bit of firing actually happened here, the big bad Shadow Ship was adrift and lost its weapons. Result!
The scouts, with cries of "noooooooooooooo", charged forwards.
One Shantavi died. The big Shadow Ship died.
Then the Shadows got their formation together, mostly getting into my weak arcs and picking on the Leshath due to its stealth-busting ability.
Leshath went boom, big style. Luckily the rest of the shooting went my way, the remaining Shadow Ship getting pinned by the Shantavi. The fighters kept pecking away at the Scouts but their stealth kept saving them (cue lots of "Shadow Scout dances" from Hash).
Shadows tried to play arcs but the pinned Shadow Ship couldn't do anything to avoid the Shantavi.
The Shadow Ship exploded horribly, after a 6-6 crit by the Shantavi it went to -56 damage. The scouts did take down the Shantavi though, with cries of "you killed my father, prepare to die!"
The scouts then hunted down the Tigara, and son killed it. It was just an undamaged Sharoos versus 2 Shadow Scouts, then. War vs 2x Raid - surely I had a good chance?
Well I kept failing stealth rolls. With me needing 4's and Hash needing 2's and having 2 chances with redirected fire too, the game was not going my way at all. The Sharoos started to get hurt. But only 2 turns remained, I managed to stay alive (but crippled and skeleton crewed!).
Final result: 40-34 VPs to me! General Hash does not always win after all, and there is someone on this planet to challenge him!
