Assyrians - Cracjaw
The Assyrians move up once again. The Star of Assyria sacrifices some forward momentum to turn more.
Still just barely out of range with all weapons, the Torpedo Frigates launch their torpedoes.
Immortals - Screech
The MK.I missile explodes on the Akkadian cruiser, taking out a shield point.
The fighters continue chasing after the Assyrian frigates.
Response fire knocks out the shields on the lead fighter.
The fighters retaliate and strip a Mercury of it's shields.
The Death Everest fires it's MK.II missile launchers, but one critical fails and explodes in the tube!
No SP are lost, but the Light Carrier is down a missile launcher.
The other tube fires successfully, and another MK.II missile flies towards the Assyrians.
Commander Graves: "Engines full reverse! Bring us into position to fire onto the Akkadians."
Success! The Immortal ships turn nearly 45 degrees, despite moving forward very little.
Despite not having the Carrier's centerline weapons on target, the Immortals still do a number on the Akkadian's shields, taking down 2 more points on the nearest cruiser and the Torpedo Frigate.
The Destroyer fires it's MK.I missiles, thankfully without incident.
And despite being within 6" of the Akkadian cruiser (meaning they would explode this turn) excellent roles from both anti-fighter turrets hit both missiles before impact!
Neo-Prussians - Bragallot
The Dominator deploys it's fighters.
And then everyone moves up towards the Akkadian's left flank and pilots buff the ship's weapons.
The Himmelsjäger concentrates on the nearby Assyrian torpedo...
And detonates it prematurely with her Farcical powers!
Three turrets on an Eagle and the Dominator are in range of the Akkadian cruiser, so they fire.
And they take out 2 shield points on the ship, leaving 3.
Akkadians - ArchyX74
Oblivious to the Neo-Prussians, all Akkadian ships turn to engage the Immortals.
Akkadain Captain: "Fire everything! For Akkadia!"
The Assault Cruisers fire their Heavy Laser Cannons at the Immortal Carrier, completely knocking out it's shields.
And then, they fire everything!
The Death Everest is pummeled as lasers impact on it's hull.
The Carrier is torn apart, losing it's Centerline Plasma Cannon and 3 SP.
And to end their most successful turn yet, an anti-fighter turret dispatches the other Assyrian torpedo.

Go ahead and send in your Turn 3 orders! I'd prefer to keep this battle moving at a fairly steady pace, so if I don't receive orders from someone by Tuesday, I'll NPC their ships and hopefully have Turn 3 out by Wednesday.
