Admiral Chester, the commander of this fleet, is on edge. Not only is the Queen herself on the planet below, but he's received some disturbing reports about the Blue Sector Admiral...
Fleet Ensign: "Admiral, new contacts detected! Looks like they're Blackdog's ships."
Ensign: "We're picking up a transmission from the Admiral now..."
Vice Admiral Blackdog: "All ships, full speed ahead! We've got to convince the Queen to declare war on Bavaria!"
Admiral Chester: "Stand down, Blackdog! I won't have you re-starting a war that cost us millions of Brittannian lives!"
Blackdog: "Listen to yourself! How can you call yourself a minifig when you argue for peace? I am your commanding officer, and if you do not permit me to visit the Queen, then I will annihilate your fleet and take matters into my own hands."
Chester: "I'd heard you were mad, but I didn't realize how far around the bend you've gone, Admiral. Very well. If you insist on violence, I have a Bavarian Fleet Detachment ready to defend our alliance."
Bavarian Commander: "All ships, vorwarts!"
Blackdog: "So... you insist on treason, then. Too bad. You'll find that I have allies of my own."
Praetorian Fleet Commander: "This is Praetorian Navy Strike Group Delta."
"We have no love for Britannia, but right now Bavaria is our greatest enemy. If you want to go to war with them, we'll gladly assist you."

SPACE BATTLE RULES (in the spoiler):

Show
See the Frictionless movement rules to understand how ships move in this game. I usually use lines of bricks to represent the vectors. Friendly capital ships and all fighters can move through one another, but enemy capital ships will collide if their paths intersect. Unless you specifically say you want to ram an enemy, I will avoid collisions whenever possible.
To determine if an attack hits, you roll the weapon's Accuracy against the target's Silhouette value. If the accuracy roll is equal to or higher than the silhouette value, your attack hits.
Hit points are the same thing as wounds: you need to overcome the target's armor value once for each wound you deal.
Gun-type weapons can make response attacks, but cannot fire if your ship is using a special ability on that turn. Missiles can fire while your ship is using its special ability, but can't make response attacks.
Ships can target individual weapons on an enemy ship; all weapons have a Silhouette value of 8, 1 HP, and an Armor value of one less than the ship they are mounted on.
Missiles and Torpedoes
When you launch a missile, it does not hit immediately. It hits on the start of your next turn if its chosen target is within the range and firing arc of its launcher; otherwise it misses. Missiles fired within 6" hit on the same turn, but have a -1 accuracy penalty. Torpedoes are miniature spaceships and you control them directly after launch.
Fighters
Fighters and bombers are deployed in squadrons of 3 and stay together after launching. You may only have 2 squadrons on the field and launch one squadron at a time.
