Dramatic SFB: Convoy Battles

[Gregory Flusche]

The Vulpa led her task force into the fray attacking the hated Rockheads.
With limited shuttle space the Romulans could only grab a limited number of
canisters.
The rockheads grabbed a lot and tried to hole up in there web. A unlucky
break opening a canister sent the Vulpa away from its escorts. Allowing the
RockHeads cruisers to overrun the Vulpa crippling it. Then with plasma
trailing and  very weak shields and internals to the CA they left. The
Scout as it was moving to slow was caught by the Mauler and destroyed.

Net the RockHeads lose a Scout and win the battle the Roms have a crippled
DN. on to the next turn
