Twillight Imperium Game 1: Is anybody out there?

[rpthomps]

I have an AC, which I will play during my turn although it is technically for the strategy phase...

[rpthomps]

N'ORR BEGIN TURN

During Strategy Phase: Play AC "Command Summit"

CC-TAP:0/4/3-0/5/0

Action: Tactical
Attack Mellon system with War Sun, 2 dread, 1 cruiser, 1 admiral and 1 general

firing pds from arcturus

waiting for pds fire from Zohbat

CC-TAP:0/4/2-0/5/0

[rpthomps]

1 hit with the pds

[brunoreturns]

PDS fire from Zohbat AND Lesab.

Technically, Command Summit places 2 CC in CP. You placed one in FS. I'm willing to let it slide and say that you shifted CCs around during the status phase. If wuluk contests though, you will have to move one of the ships back. I doubt that he will.

Waiting eagerly for battle orders from L1z1x. This should be a heck of a battle...

[wuluk]

Sigh. Brave move Ryan, with that massive Sol fleet at your borders.

Damage DN.

Norr suffers 2 PDS hits. Please assign your casualties. And please precise location of your Admiral and General. I think that they must be both on DN, becouse you are only allowed to move them during pickup or Planetary Landing phase?

Any AC play during "before the space battle" step?

[brunoreturns]

Yes, they are both aboard the one DN for the space battle. I am pretty sure that is the only ship that came from that sector.

[rpthomps]

Sorry man. I need the resources and I wish I would have had more of a fleet but I was focusing on the secret objective. I can only hope Sol doesn't take advantage of me too badly. ;(

1 damage to each DN.

Attack:

cruiser misses
first dreadnought hits (+1 attack racial ability)
dread with leaders hits twice(+1 attack racial and +1 die for admiral)
war sun hits twice

5 hits

Now, I messed up the rolls on bgg by doing 2d10 and 3d10 for the dread and the warsun but I kept the actual rolls. If you expand the roll tree on the bottom you can see what was rolled. If there is a problem with this I will happily reroll.

[wuluk]

I asked you to damage your units because before battle I want to play "Target Their Flagship!" AC, targeting your DN with Admiral and General with my DN. Sabotage?

Your rolls are fine and I think they can stay, unless you will want to change something due to my AC?

[brunoreturns]

So "Target Their Flagship!" is played after the PDS?

If so, order of things is:

PDS fire exchange 1 hit N'Orr, 2 hits L1z1x
L1z1x decided to damage dread, N'Orr decided to damage both dreads
L1z1x then played TTF AC targetting N'Orr DN containing both leaders (L1z1x also need to specify which ship is taking the shot)
Then battle, with N'Orr perhaps having to lose the 2 rolls from the DN with leaders

L1z1x, which ship is taking TTF attack?
N'Orr Sabotage?
L1z1x to roll for AC
L1z1x to roll for battle (ship taking TTF attack does not participate)
N'Orr and L1z1x take caualties

[wuluk]

Yes, it is played after PDS, at the same time as AFB, AC or Mentak ability (with defender deciding the order).

I don't think that it matters at all which DN takes shot, let say the undamaged DN does.

[rpthomps]

No change due to AC. I will play Courageous to the end though as my DN goes down in flames....rolling

[rpthomps]

I will also roll for my leaders....to determine their fate

[rpthomps]

0 hits with courageous to the end...

3 total hits with my ships.

Both leaders are killed

[brunoreturns]

Well, he hasn't actually taken the shot yet, so let's not get too far ahead. He has to roll first.

L1z1x to roll for Target Their Flagship!
If hit, reaction has already been verified and 1X takes 3 hits during first round
If miss, AC goes back into N'Orr hand and 1X takes 5 hits
L1z1x to roll for first round of battle (minus 1 DN)

[wuluk]

Hit with Target Their Flagship!

1 hit during Space Battle

L1z1x casualties(3 hits):
CA,DD, damage DN (direct hit?)

Norr to take his casualties.

2nd round
No AC play.
