Deployment! My Protector is the biggest blue dot. The Dhow is the red dot and the Castillians are the smaller dots.
The two large dots are the Cruisers. Since it didn't really matter I haven't differentiated them.
Both fleets move up, Willx moves his at full speed whilst my fleet moves the minimum distance and launches all it's ordinance. (the white lines are torpedos) Between them they launch 10 torpedoes at the Imperial scum! The turn ends relatively quickly.
Again Willx moves up as fast as possible to get within range of my fleet. Whilst one escort manages to destroy the torpedos of the opposing escort the Protectors torpedos strike home three times and utterly destroy the escort. The missiles continue through the escort and land a lucky hit on the cruiser following them. It gets a critical hit and wipes out the shields!
The other two escorts torpedo get 3 hits on the second cruiser nearly crippling it!
The Protector reloads its ordinance but the rest of the fleet fail their orders test.
A terrible second turn was promptly followed by an even worse turn three. The swords guns batter the closest Castellan and do no damage. Unfortunately the Castellan destroys it straight after. The imperial cruisers slowly work their way through all the blast markers and launch torpedos but Protector simply moves out of the way in my turn. To be more insulting it then throws destroys the remaining escort with its railguns and causes two more hits on the closest cruiser.
At this point my opponant quits. I've had obscene luck and managed to effectively ruin his fleet before he could even get close enough to take me on. I'm terrifically impressed by my fleet, they through out lots of attacks and took down the distractions in their stride! Looking foward to my next game.
Also, paint is still awesome.
