I'd give a full battle report, but our game didn't go full length so there's not much point. It ended up getting stopped half way through the attack phase of the 2nd turn. It was a 5 point war though. We had terrain, though I failed to take the best use of it, which was partially do to me losing the initiative roll for set-up, which led to him firing off shots on turn one, which were only answered by my Tara'Lin.

2 Omegas
1 Nova
1 Avenger
2 Hyperions
2 Assault Hyperions
7 Hermes
I realize these are uneven fleets, but this was a campaign game and this was all the EA player could field; which was why I pushed for an all out assault, because I knew he couldn't match me point for point.
On turn one he crippled 1 of my WSG's and did about 3 points to another, and I did nothing in return; major beam wiffing on my Tara'Lin and the one WSG in range. Both of my WSG's started out on CBD, but the one he crippled had the SA removed by a crit part way through the turn.
On turn two, at least of what we managed to get done on turn 2, he finished of the crippled WSG and destroyed the minorly damaged one. I managed to cripple an Omega in return, using the minorly damaged WSG before it was destroyed along with 2 White Stars. Had the turn gone full length, I would've finished off the Omega along with a few Hermes, and he would've likely done some minor to moderate damage to a few White Stars.
Had my White Stars still had the 18" beam it would have been very, very different. For starters the Omega that I crippled would have been in range of at least 2 White Stars on turn one, and his Warlock would have been in range of all 4 White Stars on turn 2. So, unless I wiffed as badly on those, I could've possibly critted the Omega to hell on turn 1 and then I would've started digging at the Warlock on turn 2.

Oh, and I know the WSG makes little difference to the results. They were only mentioned because it's what he chose to dump his fire into. He ignored my White Stars on turn 1, and the game ended ended before he could fire on my White Stars, but after he obliterated my WSG's. : /
To be honest, I thought the change to the White Stars would make me love the WSG more, but the effect isn't as great as I'd orginally hoped.
I'll try to get a full game, or more, this Thursday. I'll make sure to take notes enough to make a more detailed battle report.

Yea, he passed every TTT roll. My dodges were below average, but not terrible, though I rolled very well on my CBD. He did focus all of the missiles from his Hermes, as well as the beams from both Omegas, and both the beam and the missiles from the Warlock on my WSG's though. So I really can't complain much. They did soak up fire from 2 battles, a war and 7 patrols. Neither died on turn one, just ended up with one having 4 damage left, and the other only taking about 3. If the one that got crippled hadn't suffered the SA loss it would've turned out a bit better. But, as I said, I can't really complain too much. They did eat a lotta fire. lol

I got shots off with 2 White Stars at an Omega, but the other 2 didn't get a chance to shoot, and the Blue Stars I positioned behind his Hermes didn't get to go either. I'll be pressing for a rematch on Thursday. I like fighting EA with ISA as a test because of their strong fighter defense/offense, which is our weakness, and because I feel they are a well balanced fleet.
Enfalli Patrol Cruiser Raid
In the aftermath of the Shadow War and the Earth Civil War, the Anla’Shok found themselves struggling to maintain the peace fostered by the Interstellar Alliance. The death of many experienced crewmembers and officers during those two struggles had given many junior officers the chance to rise into positions faster than they would have done otherwise.
For these junior officers and crews, a vessel to suit their needs and abilities was required. The solution was a training vessel that had been decommissioned by the warrior caste over eighty years earlier. The Shoquran design had never seen front-line combat, save some infrequent incidents in the Minbari Protectorate where it spent the bulk of its time. It had a modest amount of weaponry, and was designed to operate with around eighty crew members, however due to being a training vessel had no use for a jump drive and therefore does not carry one. The Shoquran was reclassified as the Enfalli-class patrol cruiser, and placed on loan to the Anla’Shok. The Enfalli may not have anywhere near the prestige of a White Star, but it does its work without fuss and at less than a third of the cost to produce a new White Star.

Shurani Anla’Shok-class Carrier Battle
Built from donated Morshin carriers from the Minbari the Shurani is the primary delivery system for scores of Ranger fighters, literally pouring dozens of fighters from its spiralling hangar access tubes in seconds. The ship itself is well armed serving as a mobile base of operations and a fleet command coordinator as the swarms of fighters whirl around it. While not quite as offensive as the ship it was based on the Shurani still packs quite a punch compared to the carriers of most other races,
