Dramatic SFB: Scenario #617: The Morey Eel of Space battle report

[Wayne Power]

The Morey Eel scenario was interesting to observe, the Hydrans made short work of it. This makes the Peladine wonder if being at war with the Hydrans is a good idea...(that's a lot of damage from a couple of Destroyers).

 The Hydrax PriMe defending fleet composed of DWH Breaker, DWH Striker and GEN+ Deputy started in 2201 heading D, with intent of protecting the colony form the Eel. Poorladine forces composed of 1 TUG with 2 SKT and a DW on the opposing side of the map.Hydrax prime forces were well aware of the incoming Eel (WS 3) while the Poorladine were way out in the field, if not trying to fond something in their pants (WS 1).
Turn 1:
Hydrax fleet moved at speed 20/18/16 heading toward the Eel. Poorladine did also speed 20. As the Hydrax fleet was moving toward the Eel, they drop/transported a sting of 6 TB's in the Eel path. On imp 10, GEN Deputy fired 2 Fus and 1 Ph-2 at the Eel, scoring 6 points of damage, drawing the Eel in the following impulse in its position, receiving 7 internals. Then, the DWH unleashed 4 Ph-G (4 pulses each), 4 Ph-2 and 4 OL HB, doing a total of 143 points of damage, 25 over the threshold to roll for destruction. Due to the accurate firing of the weapon crews, a 1 was rolled, thus ending the Eel on the spot.Following impulse, the Hydrax forces HETed, getting ready to disengage by acceleration on the following turn.
The closed point of approach that could be managed by the Poorladine was 12, way too far for signifiant damage.
End result. Eel destroyed. Hydran Victory.
Hydrax prime is RTA
