Turn 1 - Spring 2198

Dennis,

We'll do this sector-by-sector, one round at a time.
Line 1, Sector 1, Round 1


Looks like the Feds are in trouble.
Kzintis pick BIR 4.

I'm in trouble this whole first round. If I win one battle I'll be surprised.
I'll go with BIR 2 for this battle. Standing orders for the first line of battle is to preserve the fighting force and retreat crippled units immediately. I'm not going to win this line and I have to do what I can to have a fleet next turn.

Variable BIR roll.
Jim carried out 1 launched of one d6 :

3

Variable BIR = 0
Kzinti BIR 4 + Federation BIR 2 = 6 + die roll
Jim carried out 1 launched of one d6 :

2

Kzinti damage = 8 -1 (base EW) = 7 or 25% -- 4 points of damage.

Federation damage = 8 or 27.5% -- 2 points of damage.

Kzintis cripple a YFF.

Crap ... I just realized that we should have done the raiding combat first. We'll take care of it after this battle.

YFF crippled, -1 point. Time to retreat.

Good luck to the base.
