A small fleet of New Dominion ships arrives over Persistance
A small fleet of New Dominion ships arrives over Maxie's Planet
This is the same Hex as Persistance. All Naval / Aero responses should go to that thread to consolidate.
"Dominion Fleet, this is Star Colonel Lucifer Cage commanding the 10th Marine Cluster. Your arrival was not expected; if your intentions are hostile, state your batchal."
(merged with Persistance thread as a naval unit is defending)
When the ships finally stopped rolling in, nearly a binary of warships arrived as a pair of Potemkins belched forth their compliment of dropships.
"Hellion Fleet, I am Star Admiral Douglas Lankenau of Clan Snow Raven. We request safcon for our ground troops to test the strength of your warriors claim to these worlds."
"There is no need for Safcon, Star Admiral. You have struck at us while our ground forces are forward deployed against the Lyrans, and so it falls to my marines and aerospace pilots to defend these worlds. Our battle shall occur in the cold reaches of space."
1.75 FP of aerospace fighters (1 medium aerostar) is bid to defend each planet.
"Seyla! The bidding will commense immediately."
As each of these worlds is less important to the defense of Icars and the planets beyond, the bidding is moderate, in the end, each Bid is 1.5 of Aerospace fighters.
If this goes to game, I'll get to test out my Wusun ;)
Who wants to play this?
If you don't mind playing it at the squadron level (2x 5-ship elements on each side), I'd be fine with playing this one out this weekend.
Sunday seems to be the best day to play. Chaos and I are eyeing that naval battle with glee :)
CIH wins both battles, the dice hated me bad. In one corner, you have 3 of 8 ER Large Lasers hitting, in the other, 5 of 5, and constant initiative loss :P I won only 3 times :P
