Played my Centari fleet in first touni
I Primus, Elutarian, Vorchar Scout and three MAXIMUS (best ships in the fleet)
played a friend on mine first round (randomly chosen) and got absolutely slaughtered without managing to kill either destroyer or the transport. Watched Greg next to me get hammered by Triggys Sag fleet - which were in danger of giving you snow blindness. Consoled myself that as least I would have an easy game next having joined Greg at the bootom of the table with 0 points.!
Nope played previously mentioned fleet of White Sagis and Hyperions. Very worried by this charged my maximus's in, guns blazing (chanting their name in an annoying way) whilst killing the odd ship with the Primus. And somehow won - which was nice. Helped that Triggy was a an excellent sport and good fun to play!
Next felling more relaxed was some strange green ships - apparently some minor alien race form the league or something (can you tell I was playing Centauri). A combination of the Maximus power (he did kill one with the entire fleet on second turn), Primus beam and of course the fact that his dice recongnised the Centauri's inate superority and would not roll more than 2, ever, at all! (Especially when you say " you can't possibily miss from that range")
Totally unfair on my opponent who played on despite having absolutely no luck of any kind and still helped me out when I forgot things and was again good fun to play!
good fun and I think I came 5th
though my mate came joint first - playing the Shadows!
