Admiral Jean Luc reporting.
First 2 turns done and completed. David's reports of my deployment have been accurate, as have my losses up to this point. As for why my losses have been decidly lopsided to this point...
My inital deployment has only 3 Arma ponits on the board, consiting of scouts, Omegas, Artemis, and Olympus. The lions hoard of my fleet is waiting in hyperspace; Warlocks, Hyperions, Avnegers, Posiedons. All fighters from initall placement are offboard in hyerpsace. Hyperspace reseves are being worked a bit differently(which to be honest is going to make this game an extra turn or 2), I'm still waiting on Warlocks and a few Hermes to be come available as well.
The real beaut of this force is the full Arma points worth of breaching pod flights I have waiting in hyperspace as well, 72 in all. I'm hoping these will be enough to turn the battle in my favor, as I have enough to flood several Narn War PL ships at once, decrewing them and casuing crits along the way, without my ships ever having to fire a shot at them.
My list is a Hybrid 3rd Age/Crusade list; thus the Appollo's, Delphis, and the 48 Firebolts as well.
An additonal factor in my favor as that my forces in hyperspace have cause my opponent to essentially idle a significant part of force in anticipation of them jumping in, in the main firing emines as the launchers refresh. CBD has been my savior to this point. I've lost several ships, but CBD has kept my losses relatively light up this point (roughly 10 % is dead at this point). Once the rest of my fleet jumps in, I expect this to quickly swing to my favor.
Wish me the best of luck with this fellow EA players. Expect another report at the end of battle.
Quick question in regards to the admirals, what was the criteria for placement, as I thought they had to be on the highest pl ship? G'Sten seems to have sneaked onto a less BinTak.
They were essentially free points-wise. Neither one of us wanted to spend points so the ref said take em.
I've kept the scenario simple so there is little room for arguement. It's their game. I'm just keeping it semi/quasi/partially organised.
