I don’t wish to destroy the alliance I have long had with the Ferengi over 1 ship. I wish to attack the Federation only.
OK, @RossM I need to know whether you wish your ship to join the defence.
I’ll want to see how things go after the first round of combat before I make a decision about whether to continue combat- I’ll be at work tomorrow with no laptop so Roger I’ll DM you when decisions need to be made if that’s alright
Nope remaining neutral here.
(Plus my weapons and shields are awful)
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
OK, that’s Cardassian fleets 1 + 3 (9 ships each, no special powers, weapons 3+ shields 1)
vs Federation (7 ships, no special powers, weapons 3+ shields 2)
Round 1
Cardassian hits on 5+: pool 18d6: 6× 1, 3× 2, 2× 3, 2× 4, 3× 5, 2× 6
Federation hits on 4+: pool 7d6: 4× 1, 2× 5, 6
5 federation casualties, 3 Cardassian; this leaves 2 Fed vs 15 Card. Cardassians get first option on retreating, but I rather suspect they won’t.
No retreat.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Federation chooses not to retreat.
Round 2
Cardassian hits on 5+: pool 15d6: 2× 1, 3× 3, 4× 4, 4× 5, 2× 6
Federation hits on 4+: pool 2d6: 4, 5
Federation formation is destroyed; two more Cardassian ships lost. Battle complete.
(Cardassian forces may tactical move into Valakis if you wish.)
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Ah,. bother. didn’t count the starbase. Two rounds of fire. pool 2d6: 2, 4 hitting on 4+.
One more Cardassian ship lost, leaving twelve. You can rearrange them between fleets after the tactical move; currently 9 + 3.
I would like to tactically move into Valakis and form each fleet with 6 each. Does any of that exhaust a command? Leaving me 3 commands?
You can tac-move and rearrange fleets without using any further commands. So you’ve used 1-4 to get the fleets in place, 5 for the space battle, leaving two more.
Thanks. So now I will use command 6 to invade Valakis.
@RossM, do you give permission?
How many commands are left?
At this point, two remain (including the one that’s about to be used for the invasion).
I will allow it.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Command #6, invasion of Valakis
- Cardassian: 12 ships in fleets of 6+6, hitting on 5+
pool 12d6: 1, 2, 6× 3, 2× 4, 5, 6 - Federation: 3 nodes + starbase, hitting on 4+
pool 4d6: 2× 1, 4, 6
Cardassian, two hits, two nodes destroyed (Production and Culture).
Federation: two hits, two ships destroyed.
Next round will be 10 (5+) vs 2 (4+).
@MIGHTYSploosh do you wish to retreat?
If not, @Canadian_Errant do you wish to surrender the planet?
