your finest ACTA moment

[Slightly Norse John]

Thosae things are outrageously lucky, I this afternoon played a 9- point Raid, Narn (me- always helps to see things through the enemy's eyes from time to time) against Brakiri, and at one point, way out on the right flank, I had a Ka'Toc with a Brikorta dead ahead of it within three and a half inches. Using the new sequence, I had two packs of eight Frazi mobbing one target after another- they take out this thing's engines. Right ahead, dot to dot, accidental but better lined up than if I had tried, a slightly singed Brokados.
I probably shouldn't have done this, but it was just a perfect opportunity to go 'Yarrrrr!'. Breaching Pods and Shuttles against the Brikorta, main guns fire on the Brokados. One flurry of dice later, the Brikorta is on it's way back to Narn to be disassembled for it's technology and the Brokados has a nice shiny hole where it's CIC used to be; 4-6 crit off the main boresight laser.

One from way back when, My brother managed a Double Boresight on Two Dilgar ships, and shredded both. Twas right nasty.

As for a more recent moment, Tuesday I had a 9pt Battle Space Superiority game against a Narn.

Narn:
1 G'Vrahn
1 G'Quan
1 Var'Nic
2 G'Karith
2 Dag'Kar
1 Sho'Kar
9 Ka'Tan

Centauri:
1 Adira
1 Prefect
1 Tertius
2 Sulust
2 Darkner
4 Corvan
2 Elutarian
1 Balvarin

Kept half my fleet in hyperspace, he brought EVERYTHING to one tiny corner, clustered them together, and swarmed towards my Prefect, Elutarians, and Corvans.
Then the Adira Jumped in through the Blavarin's Jump Point. Teehee.

First Turn: Knocks the G'Quans Engines out, Cripples a Dag'Kar, crits up the G'Vrahn, Batters a G'Karith, Dents another G'Karith, and softened up a Ka'Tan of which my Elutarian then Finished off.

Second Turn: Destroyed the G'Quan, Destroyed the Dag'Kar, crited the Var'Nic to Speed 0.

Basically, the Adira swathed into the Middle of the Narn Fleet and cut a huge slice out of it, and only suffered 1 crit that caused 2 crew loss the entire fight.

A huge win for House Ghustavo.

Got to be when one of my Orestes Dreadnoughts killed the Trigati. On it's own. It scored engines disabled and vital engineering criticals with it's first round of firing that beat the Sharlin's stealth then just sat back and CAF'd it for several more turns. Of course about 75% of the rest of the EA fleet was wiped out so the Minbari won on points anyway.

 

[E-Mines Hurt]

Got four crits on a Ka'Bin'Tak

- no DC
- no SA
- -4 speed
- front arc gone

The KBT was sitting at range shooting into a furball. The player forgot about the turreted weapon and we play with nominated boresights. It was killed off when the rest of the narn fleet was defeated by the 5 War pt Brakiri fleet that was now fighting just 3 War pt Narn.

hard to name a best.. But the worst case of humiliation had to be trying out Narn for the first time (2nd ed). I was a big G'quan fan.. It was against Minbos, but felt pretty much like Gorash 7.

Before two weeks I played against the ISA incl. Excalibur with my Narn.
The fleets are verry close, front to front and the ISA player use the supercannon :wink: against a little Var Nic.
Next turn the Narn start to board the Ex
At Turn 6 the game ends with a last gunship and the Ex on table (both boardet and without any crew).
I never believed before that I becomes this super chance in any game I ever play. A Excalibur that shoot it main cannon on a smal target and ignore two G Quans at short range.
