<div><div dir="ltr">Colony #373 is in the books with a Carnivon win.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The Carnivons entered the map with a DN, a CW, and a pair of FFs, all at <br></div><div dir="ltr">WS-I. The Vudar had a CWL, a CW, and a DWS, at WS-III but in orbit <br></div><div dir="ltr">around the planet with a civilian Base Station (this was a major Vudar <br></div><div dir="ltr">colony.)<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">At the edge of the battle, the Carnivon attackers stopped and began <br></div><div dir="ltr">charging their weapons and setting the fuses on their death bolts. The <br></div><div dir="ltr">Vudar popped out a sensor drogue on every unit and sped up to warp 2.25. <br></div><div dir="ltr">The Vudar warmed up their ECM rigs and began setting the tone for the <br></div><div dir="ltr">whole battle: whatever the Carnivons wanted, it was going to be seen <br></div><div dir="ltr">through the fuzz of excessive subspace noise.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Nothing happened for the first couple of minutes of the battle. The <br></div><div dir="ltr">Vudar began on the opposite side of the planet to the Carnivons and <br></div><div dir="ltr">generally stayed near the planet. The Carnivons began accellerating <br></div><div dir="ltr">slowly but moved oblique to the planet. The Vudar began to sally away <br></div><div dir="ltr">from the planet but kept their speed, as it was the best the drogues <br></div><div dir="ltr">could handle. The attackers turned in towards the defenders and sped up <br></div><div dir="ltr">to about warp 2.33. They launched a full brace of fast death bolts at <br></div><div dir="ltr">the Vudar CW from roughly 150K km.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The Carnivons began to bore in behind their large missiles while the <br></div><div dir="ltr">Vudar completed a swooping turn that brought them oblique to the <br></div><div dir="ltr">attackers. The Vudar scout tried 6 times to break the lock-ons to the <br></div><div dir="ltr">death bolts and missed every time. Later, the base tried and suceeded <br></div><div dir="ltr">against two of the death bolts.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">At 80K km, the two forces let loose on eachother. The Vudar were firing <br></div><div dir="ltr">through a neutral environment on the nose of the Carnivon CW with ion <br></div><div dir="ltr">cannons and phaser-1s. She took 35 internals, just 6 away from being <br></div><div dir="ltr">crippled. The DN and smoking CW fired moments later at the trailing <br></div><div dir="ltr">scout (they were looking at a best-case situation of a +3 shift against <br></div><div dir="ltr">the Vudar war cruisers.) The scout took 5 of 8 disruptor cannons from <br></div><div dir="ltr">150K km on an aft shield, causing 8 internals: 2 engine hits, a phaser, <br></div><div dir="ltr">an IPG, and a control space. The Vudar then turned back to the planet <br></div><div dir="ltr">with the Carnivons giving chase.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Then the death bolts bore in on the CW. IPGs flared and phasers fired. <br></div><div dir="ltr">The IPGs severely damaged the deathbolts and the sensor drogues both, <br></div><div dir="ltr">and the phasers did poorly. of the six death bolts launched, two were <br></div><div dir="ltr">distracted by the base's sensor channels, three were killed by phasers <br></div><div dir="ltr">and ionic discharges, and the last struck the CW but from a distance due <br></div><div dir="ltr">to the ECM involved. She took 9 damage to the fresh, rear shield.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The Vudar had learned their lesson: keep the scout away from the enemy. <br></div><div dir="ltr">Very quickly, it became apparent that the Carnivons were going to do a <br></div><div dir="ltr">close-range run on the planet from the side opposite to the base <br></div><div dir="ltr">station, and that the Vudar were using the same planet as cover against <br></div><div dir="ltr">anything but sniping fire. All of this while everyone was breathing hard <br></div><div dir="ltr">to load phasers and torpedoes.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">While the Vudar were trying to set up the next firing pass, the <br></div><div dir="ltr">Carnivons got just outside the atmosphere. Here the frigates, who were <br></div><div dir="ltr">hanging back from the earlier exchanges, cut loose on an agro station. <br></div><div dir="ltr">They did 56 damage to a unit that couldn't take more than 40 damage. <br></div><div dir="ltr">What was left was a smoking crater.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Then the Carnivons began to pick up speed and exit the area. The Vudar <br></div><div dir="ltr">war cruisers quickly recognized this and did a high-energy-turn off of <br></div><div dir="ltr">batteries in order to give chase immediately. Ultimately, the slow <br></div><div dir="ltr">attack speed of the Carnivons allowed the Vudar to get one shot on the <br></div><div dir="ltr">rear shielding of the damaged CW before she managed to escape the area. <br></div><div dir="ltr">Unfortunately, where the average damage would have left her just shy of <br></div><div dir="ltr">crippled, the Vudar rolled like a Fed and did not even penetrate the <br></div><div dir="ltr">shields.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The Carnivon managed to damage the infrastructure of an important colony <br></div><div dir="ltr">and get away with no lasting campaign damage. The only Vudar units <br></div><div dir="ltr">damaged was the smoking crater that used to be a farm and their scout <br></div><div dir="ltr">had scratched paint.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">--Matt<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">____________________________________________________<br></div><div dir="ltr">Dramatic SFB campaign chatter list<br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org" target="_blank">http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="mailto:SFBdrama@lists.mattnet.org" target="_blank">SFBdrama@lists.mattnet.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://lists.mattnet.org/listinfo.cgi/sfbdrama-mattnet.org" target="_blank">http://lists.mattnet.org/listinfo.cgi/sfbdrama-mattnet.org</a><br></div></div>
