Earth-Centauri War - Jan 26-27th

Well thats me stuffed, in even truer centauri fashion I'll have to make sure everyone else is drugged, in order to win being something of a light weight when it comes to alcohol cosumption.


Now . . . . where did I put those rohipnol pills?
 
depending on quite how drunk we are, dear boy!
:)
As long as there is constant flow of alchohol we are free to rampage through the galaxy in our own indomitable way :)

Still if the Drakh want to think they are running the war we will let them :D

You did bring those Shadow Clouds like we asked didn't you :?:
 
Keeper . . . pah . . . . . . I have no keeper . . . . . well except perhaps the other half . . . . . . of my personality that is.

But I do like you drakh dudes; so we are cool no keepers necessary. You see I have at length studied the tome "When I'm an Evil Overlord" so no amount of vile evilness eminating from the drakh will be too much for me.

My favourite rule from the tome being:
"Shooting is NOT too good for enemies."
 
We'll always need more Centauri.......

So has anyone had any practise games? What experiences have you had?

So far the Centauri have done badly locally against the crusade era EA, in a tournament 8 ship setup. The EA beams simply rip the Centauri apart before they can get in range. Even when they do get in range, high hull and interceptors effectively neuter the damage the ships can put out, especially when you already have lost a couple of ships on the way in. Even using terrain only delayed the inevitable by a turn or two.

We normally play 5 Battle and usually get a close game, winning or loosing strictly on points, but under the 8 ship restriction, the games have been very one-sided.

Another mate of mine, shutuphippie is his name on the boards, has signed up but I don't know what as yet. I know he has a Third Age/ EA fleet but he also has centauri as well; I need to work on him though to be centauri - we are still outnumbered.

As far as those practice games are going, that the centauri are losing badly in, can you give me an idea of what the fleets are comprised of . . . either on here or by PM? I'd be very interested to take a look at the fleet compositions.

I think its a given that the EA's prodigious number of interceptors and high hulls is going to make the vast bulk of centauri weaponry suffer. But look on the brightside, at least they don't have emines! :D :D :D

Bugger . . . . at least 2 narns in the campaign. :( :(
 
I've opened up a new thread for the tactics discussion its cunningly concealed in the thread called:

"Centauri tactic for the Earth-Centauri war Campaign"

Which should confuse the earthers into not reading it!

I am far more worried about the Gaim
 
Hi all

I'm centauri admiral's friend (or to be precise the poor person who tolerates the centauri rantings) :roll:

looking at the list of players I am one half of the Narn detachment to help the Terrans (some say humans but i prefer Terrans) to kick Centauri back to their homeworld.

I am looking forward to the weekend fighting Drakh or Centauri. :)

Long live the Regime!
 
I imagine that the only way that the Daim would worry Katadder's Drakh fleet would be if Ben converted all his fighters to missiles, or got his - stupidly good - boarding drones to get on the Drakh ships...
If Katadder takes a War level ship, with it's 4 pt GEG, the Gaim with have very little joy in trying to hurt it, unless Ben's not going to have 2 queen Battle ships and 6 carriers...
