OK, we still have
| Ship | Curve | A | B | C | D | E | F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surprise | 2-3-0 | move | AP | move | AP, move | ||
| Hunter | 1-3-0 | move | move | AP, move | |||
| Shadow | 1-3-0 | move | move | AP, move | |||
| Thor | 3-3-1 | AP, move | AP, move | AP, move | |||
| Caleb | 2-3-1 | move | AP | move | AP, move |
1.A.1
and nothing from us in phase A.
Nothing I can do.
Over to you for Impulse B!
1.B.1 all my ships move, no AP.
1.B.2 both your ships move, Thor gets AP.
Thor spends her AP on Charging her Batteries.
Both ships move forward 1 space.
Back to you for Impulse C!
1.C.1
1.C.2
No movement, Caleb gets AP.
Caleb Charges her Batteries.
Back to you.
Thor spends her AP to Reinforce her Port Shields.
Movement:
Both ships move Forward.
Back to you for Impulse E!
(Tension slowly rises in the background…)
1.E.1 no moves or AP expected.
1.E.2 no moves or AP expected.
(Incidentally I see the whole moving map as a synthetic convention so I intend to ignore the rule that missiles going off the map are lost. Or I could move everything towards the top right corner now.)
As memory serves, the missiles have to be 6 hexes from any target for them to be removed from the table. I suspect it’s one of those “I fired 8 volleys at that one guy, he ran, and the rest of the fight happens over there…” conventions. I’m happy to keep them in play.
You can also shift everything to the middle of the table if you want.
No AP, moves, or firing. The yeoman on the Thor begins composing a heroic ballad about the Caleb’s upcoming sacrifice.
Over to you for Impulse F!
Yup, happy to do “too far away to be interesting any more” as needed.
1.F.1 all Talon ships AP and move.
1.F.2 all Terran ships AP and move.
Well, if I’m really lucky you might have to ram your own ships to pull of this shot… which is good, because there’s no way to survive 4 missiles in a single hex.
Okay… let’s see if I can at least do an effective trade for the Caleb.
Caleb spends her AP on Side Slipping
Thor spends her AP on Changing the Initiative.
Movement:
Caleb slips to the right.
Thor moves forward.
No weapons fire.
POWER PHASE:
Caleb adjusts her curve to 2 - 4 - 1
Thor adjusts her curve to 2 - 4 - 2
Over to you for your Power Phase.
1.P.2
Hunter and Shadow recharge 1 red box per weapon.
| Ship | Curve | A | B | C | D | E | F |

| Thor | 1-4-2 | move | move | move | AP, move | ||
| Surprise | 1-4-1 | move | move | move | AP, move | ||
| Hunter | 1-4-1 | move | move | move | AP, move | ||
| Shadow | 1-4-1 | move | move | move | AP, move |
1.A.1 all Terran ships will move, no AP
@Marx asked for a die roll:
Caleb spends her Batteries to Reinforce Forward Shields
Movement:
Caleb moves forward one space
Thor moves forward one space.
Weapons:
Caleb fires Antimatter Torpedoes at Hunter’s Left side.
Range is 2, hits on 2+ doing 4 damage.
d6: 2
Kablamo!
@Marx asked for a die roll:
Phew, good thing it was 2+! 2 Damage to Hunter, inflicting a Critical Hit!
Critical Hit:
2d6: 3 + 1 = 4
Smoke! Fires! Panic!
Ooooooh… Helm is unresponsive! That could be very good. Maybe? We’ll see!
With that, I turn it over to you for Impulse A.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Harsh but fair. I’ve added the helm damage marker to Hunter’s counter group.
2.A.2 all Talon have move but no AP
pool 2d6: 1, 4
Takes off Caleb’s reinforcement and one bow shield box. (Possibly this has exposed me to explosion damage, but you might have got some point defence in.)
1.B.1 no scheduled Terran AP or move, but you might have battery plans.
Sadly, no batteries and no way to move forward that last hex to get in the engine explosion damage. Ah well.
No Impulse B actions for the Terrans. Caleb launches escape pods.
Over to you for your Impulse B missiles!
Oh, quick aside: You have the Thor in your chart as 1 - 4 - 2, but she’s actually 2 - 4 - 2.
Only difference is she gets an AP in Impulse C.
