Re: Fleet Forum Battle
Round 3
The Space Pirate Ones
The Dread Pirate Roberts warps into the battle! BAMF!
Stat Card:
Pirates begin to clamber up the boarding ladders onto the Artemis.
They fire deck guns but they are not strong enough to damage the larger ship's 4d10 armor.
Some of the Pirates do succeed in blowing off a turret.
The Red Ones
Two commandos land on the wrecked frigate and start making their way aft.
Two commandos on the Artemis's flight deck are gunned down by response fire from the security team.
The remaining commando responds, killing one of the security officers.
Now that the meatshields have done their job, NINJA TROOPERZ DEPLOY.
The M ako makes a desperate charge at the Artemis, hoping to smash through the security line, but at only 1" of size left, it can't cover the full distance in one turn.
Troops deploy from the freighter. Some do not have jetpacks.
The Sky Shark turns and delivers a broadside salvo and a torpedo into the Artemis, dealing 6" of damage.
PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW
KABOOM AIEEEE
The Blue Ones
Fighters continue their attack runs. The Valkyrie II has overshot its targets and must come back around to line up a shot.
The Seagull makes mincemeat of the charging M ako.
Valkyrie Leader deals 2" of damage to the freighter.
The Artemis rotates a little bit, ignoring the pirates latched onto the rear quarter.
This is mildly disruptive to their boarding attempt.
Rear guns fire at the freighter, dealing 2" of damage. A torpedo is fired but goes wide.
Admiral Oswald "We do better broadsides"™ Lyons orders the destruction of the Sky Shark. They deal a total of 243 points of damage, and chew up the remaining 12" on the Sky Shark with room to spare.
Commandos unload from the Seagull.
They murderize a few pirates.

The Space Pirates are running out of things to steal - they must move quickly if they want to profit.

Re: Fleet Forum Battle
ok and away-y-y we go!
Round 4
Space Pirates
Hookhand picks up the Mazel Tov Cocktail and runs forward.
The flaming bottle sails through the air
...and creates a small burst of fire that knocks over the lead commando but does not kill him or set off the torpedoes. Sorry.
The Dread Pirate Roberts moves up alongside and prepares to shoot a hole in the hull.
Success!
"Follow me boys!" says Rexx, heroically.
The space pirates who were disrupted gather around the breach.
The monkeys steal a gun +1 BENNY
The Red Ones
PEW PEW PEW The freighter covers its ass, dealing 5 size points to the Valkyrie.
Then it makes like a cargo hauler and hauls ass out of there.
The spacewalkers land on the wrecked Sky Shark and give the passing fighter a little what for - they deal nil size points.
The sniper takes a point off the Valkyrie II.
These guys get to the undamaged rockets and try to get one launched but fail the skill roll, even working together.
THE NINJA TROOPERZ MAKE SUSHI! HIYAH! WAH!
The Blue Ones
Commandos move up and mow down 4 of the pirates, including Hook Hand.
AA guns are turned on Satchel who is blown away quite suddenly.
The Artemis rotates and opens a salvo from its dorsal guns on the Dread Pirate, dealing 7" of damage.
"Not to worry, boys! The whole point of the endeavor is to get a newer, better ship!"
The Artemis whiffs another torpedo, and the freighter is now out of range of the guns.
The Valkyrie II charges up the SHIP Buster again, using a little targeting data boost from the Seagull
The remaining Valkyrie shoots at the freighter and does badly, only 1" of damage.
The ship's engineers come out of hiding, most likely to be murdered but if not, they might get that deck gun running.

Re: Fleet Forum Battle
Wow I'm very excited to see how the instant bennies will turn the tide of battle this round!
Space Pirates
The pirates murder as many marines as they can with the deck guns.
They get two.
This guy pops the other guy.
This guy is hoping to bolt his gun onto the "fun side" of the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Rexx is joined by two of his scurvy mates.
They kill anything that moves on the flight deck.
Also the last red marine.
The monkeys put down their turret that they stole and take pot shots at the Red forces on the wreck. They kill two more guys.
The Red Ones
These guys arrive on the wreck.
The freighter continues to fly out of the battlefield. (But not too far, they have to pick up the troops if they can retrieve the datacube from the front of the Artemis)
These guys begin to fly over to the Artemis. They shoot at Rexx but fail to kill him.
The sniper scopes in.
Oooh! Got him!
These guys shoot at nothing.
The freighter knocks another point off the Valkyrie.
These guys still don't know how rockets work. I really thought this little side mission would be more satisfying.
THE NINJA TROOPER FAILS HIS ROLLS
THESE ONES DO PRATFALLZ
The Blue Ones
Fighters pursue. They whiff some shots.
The AA gun might ju-u-ust have the angle to hit this monkey.
It does.
The Artemis scoots its butt a good 13 inches.
She proves once again that she is the Queen of the Broadside in this battle. The Dread Pirate Roberts sinks with all hands.
OH GOD MY PHONE
Bridge officers prepare for battle.

As the battle continues, it is clear that the pirates bit off more than they could chew. That's okay because I only added them to make life harder on the Imperials. On the other hand, there's still a chance for Rexx to fly away in a shiny new destroyer! Counciliar forces continue to push into the Artemis, but will they still have an escape vessel once they capture the datacube? The crew of the Artemis suffers heavy casualties but if its fighters can take down the freighter, they will be able to claim victory. I really want to use the SHIP buster but the freighter keeps moving just out of range.
I think the scores are still correct, but I didn't take great notes this round. I think there are still about two rounds left so get your orders in!

Re: Fleet Forum Battle
I was wrong last round, there was only one turn left. Here it is. Now with BIG PICTURES.
Final Round
Space Pirates
The first pirate is sent to stick his head out and of course loses it.
This provides Captain Rexx with the opportunity he needs to burst through the hatch...
...and into the Captain's Chair. "Hullo, I've snagged something on my sword!"
The Red Ones
"Whoa!" - Tag
"Wah-whoaaaaa!" - Bink
"Inform the president that we have the cube."
The sniper nails the last imperial space marine.
These guys just sort of move up. They were too far away to do much.
Surprise commandos! They kill the admiral and the rock monster, but not Rexx.
The freighter gives one more retreating pew pew.
The Valkyrie obliges with a silent kaboom.
The Blue Ones
The pilot on the Artemis continues backing up through the carnage, hoping to get a clean shot on the freighter.
Imperials fire everything they've got.
The SHIP Buster goes KRAKA-KOW! The Artemis launches a nuke. Even the Seagull offers some pew pew.
The freighter actually tanks all this damage. I killed it with leftover bennies.

Thanks all for participating and watching! I hope you enjoyed the battle. It was great for me to finally test out a lot of hardware and specialty units. I'll follow up with a little "lessons learned" and review the 2018 rules and how that worked out. Of course your feedback on any aspect of the battle is welcome. I also intend to run more scenarios at this scale, so stay tuned!

Re: Fleet Forum Battle
Beautiful battle! I keep seeing the pics on Flickr and am wondering what your tips are on building ships at that scale. Love the interior, allows for EXXXXXTREME violence!
