I challenged the local Vree player to a one on one campaign whilst we wait for Armageddon. We made it a Raiders campaign, with myself deciding to try out the Ghosts of Omelos, while he stuck with the Vree.
We generated the system, and got right down to it.
First Scenario: 5 Pt. Patrol, assassination.
My Fleet: 1 Extinction Battlewagon and 1 Jashakar Scout.
His: 2 Vaarka Scouts and 1 Vaarl.
My target was one of the Vaarka. While I was able to lower stealth a couple times, He still ELUDED ME and Tore apart my Jashakar! I retaliated by annihilating his Vaarl with One round of Pulsar fire. We ended up having to call it due to time, but his Vaarka's were doing little damage to the Battlewagon thanks to the Interceptors and the low amount of dice. We decided to call it a Draw since we both killed a Patrol level ship.
Second Scenario: 5 Pt. Skirmish, Call to Arms
Special note: This was a fight in an EM Distortion, which gave all ships Stealth 2+, AND in a heavy dust cloud, giving every ship Dodge 6+. This was going to be QUITE interesting.
My Fleet: 1 Extinction Battlewagone, 1 Mauler-class Cruiser, and 2 Jashakar Scouts.
His Fleet: 4 Xixx Torpedo Saucers and 2 Vaarl.
After my last fight, where my Pulsars ended up doing more damage with its turreted arc on my Battlewagon, I decided to try out the Mauler of the Ghosts of Omelos, seeing as it has FOUR sets of TURRETED Pulsars! However, I was still quite worried because the Vree player is a crafty foe, and he loves using the Cheap Vree Scouts with their Stealth 5, and he LOVES the Xixx's. He can make those things go from paper mache Skirmish ships that blow up in one turn to spinning Plates that go on forever. Thanks to a combination of fighters and my Jashakars, though, I WAS able to destroy one of his scouts with Pulsar fire from the Mauler. The Mauler was the MVP of this fight, there is no doubt. With its massive turrets of Pulsars, it was able to Destroy Two Xixx's, One Vaarl, and seriously damage another Xixx to the point that it retreated.
Thanks to the Interceptors, Dodge Score, and Stealth caused by the environment, my ships were able to survive quite a few salvo's from the Xixx's. Long enough to get close enough to unleash hell. THAT BEING SAID, His Vaarl did kill my Jashakar, and a Xixx destroyed another one. Why is it my Jashakar's are the things getting killed?! Those are EXPENSIVE to Replace after a while! Anyway, the win for this fight went to me after blowing up three Xixx's and one Vaarl, and forcing the others to retreat....though not before they shred my precious Scouts.
Stay tuned, Fight 3 is coming this week!
