Dramatic SFB: Age of PFs

[Drew Klenotic]

Just a question on this....  It seems like I'm being penalized even 
though I don't see that any ships were bid by the opponent.  Is this 
accurate?  Looking below, it does seem like maybe there was one... so is 
it just a "reporting error".

Or a tactical error for the "new guy" to piss off his neighbor when he 
has such a tiny fleet?..... *shrugs* dunno.

(But seriously, was something bid for this and it just didn't show up 
clearly?)


Dragon Attack #796
The Drewzarian Federation (Federation) has not been successful in their 
defense.
Defender's reward for successful defense by the Drewzarian Federation 
(Federation): EP60
Defender's penalty for unsuccessful defense: EP-75
Attacker's reward for an unsuccessful defense: EP45

INITIAL SET UP
TERRAIN: Class-M planet at 0628
Drewzarian Federation (Federation) PLAYER: No defender's ships bid 
within two hexes of 0328, speed 10, heading C.
Empire Name (Lyran) PLAYER: A number of Space Dragons (SM7.46) set up in 
hex 4201 (see below), heading D.
LENGTH OF SCENARIO: The scenario continues until the end of a turn in 
which the dragons have accrued enough ravaging points or until all 
forces belonging to either player have been destroyed, captured, or have 
disengaged.
SPECIAL RULES
MAP: Use a floating map. Any unit that is more than 50 hexes from the 
planet is considered to have disengaged by separation (C7.2).
SHUTTLES AND PFs: All shuttles and PFs have warp booster packs if the 
year selected allows them. Shuttles are advanced types if the year 
selected allows their use.
MRS shuttles may be purchased [up to the limits in (J8.5) ].
If using EW fighters, one fighter in each squadron may be of this type.
COMMANDER'S OPTION ITEMS
Each ship can purchase additional or special equipment as Commander's 
Option Items (e.g., T-bombs, extra marines, etc.) up to 20% of its 
Combat BPV. See (S3.2) for details and exceptions.
All drone speeds and types are available, subject only to the year 
selected for the scenario.
Each drone-armed ship can purchase special drones up to the historical 
racial percentages as part of the Commander's Option Items. Note that 
(S3.2) allows drone ships extra points for this purpose.
If players wish to use the optional rules for Prime Teams (G32.0), they 
can purchase one team (25 points each) as part of their Commander's 
Options.
SPACE DRAGONS There are a number of Space Dragons equal to the number of 
ships the Empire Name (Lyran) player bid to the scenario (1 ships). The 
total BPV of the Space Dragons is equal to or less than the total BPV 
assigned by the Empire Name (Lyran) player (206 BPV). The Empire Name 
(Lyran) player must declare the ages of each Space Dragon before the 
Drewzarian Federation (Federation) player sets up. For each dragon 
killed, the Empire Name (Lyran) player must cripple a ship that they 
assigned to the battle (their choice.)
The Empire Name (Lyran) player has assigned these ships: SR+m w/ BOB-As 
""
THE SPACE DRAGON SPECIAL RULES:
• Maximum speed is determined by it's wing-health divided by it's 
'speed' trait. TM is 1. May HET once per turn. May elect to skip any 
movement it may normally take.
• May be displaced, trapped in web, placed in stasis, but not tractored.
• Has a pair of phasers (determined by age) that may fire every turn, a 
plasma (determined by age) that may fire every second turn, and a 
range-0 attack that uses the Morey Eel chart (SM3.46) and that may be 
used once per turn.
• May identify a single seeking weapon every impulse (range determined 
by age.)
• Up to three times an impulse, the dragon may attempt to kill any 
shuttle or seeking weapon (including plasma) in it's hex (and before the 
seeker impacts) on a roll of 1-5. When the tail is destroyed, the dragon 
may no longer perform this.
• For every 32 consecutive impulses spent in the same hex as the planet, 
the dragon scores it's 'Points for Ravaging' as victory points for the 
Empire Name (Lyran) player.
• Note that according to (D6.397), Space Dragons are not affected by 
electronic warfare.
VICTORY CONDITIONS: Destruction of a Space Dragon counts as an amount of 
victory points equal to twice the 'Points for Ravaging' that that dragon 
can inflict. The amount of ravaging points that each Space Dragon 
inflicts on the planet, counts as victory points for the Empire Name 
(Lyran) player. The player with the most victory points wins. Ties go to 
the Drewzarian Federation (Federation) player.
