Had good fun at Cranfield tournament today with my 5 point fleet
Liati, Balvarian, Demos (x2), Covran, Maximus
First game vs Adams Centauri
vs Liati, Demos (x3), Covran, Darkner, Kutai x2
I came off better in the Clash of Demos in the centre, fighters proved very useful for reducing interceptors and damage - his Liati was out on the flanks and by time it came back in to make an inpact it was pretty much on its own - Maximus interceptor dice having helped to keep my Liati alive in the melee. It was then a very uneven match as my Liaiti chopped his up with my remaing ships (Balvarian, Maximus, Covran + fighters) leaving a lone Covran and we called it.
Second Game vs Tanks Early EA
vs 3 railgun Hyperions, 2 olympus gunships, 2 Artemis, 2 Sag missile ships
After the usual fun banter, Tank proceeded to give me a good and proper kicking targeted my Liati with the majority of his fleet - "that has to die" he said - and so it did - having gutted a hyperion and anhilated a Olympus.
The Demos squadron accounted for another Sagitarius but as the game progressed I lost 2 or more ships a trun and finally left with a undamaged Demos vs 2 Hyperions, Sag, and 2 artemis - a final death charge caused a bit of damage but little else. Great fun
Third Game vs Kens Dilgar
Was a bit unsure about this as the gun line seemed very formidable so charged into it with my ships
Having blasted several ships with my Demos squadron he retaliated with one full pentacon at the Liati - result after sooo many dodges and stirling interceptor work by the maximus resulted in no more than a couple of points of damage! Rightly outraged the second full penticon unleashed a storm of fire - several ships having perished due to the Laitis return fire. As the fusilade of fire came in aagin it was intermidating but after dodging and intecepting with unatural ability took in total over the whole turn about 7 damage and 6 crew !!! Ken never recovered as once again "he was robbed " something like 50+ dice of locked on guns rolled to achieve this !
Most centarui ships sped past the Dilgar to regroup and reload on the other side whilst the Balvarian, its fighters and the Covran kept them
occupied. The last turn we played saw several more Dilgar ships chewed and sliced apart as the Liati and Demos supported and protected by the maximus come in for the kill. Time was now my enemy as another turn would have seen more carnage.
The only ships hit on my side were a scratched Liati and dead Balvarian plus a few lost fighters - unbelievable!
great fun in all games and happy with my ships performance
