The Trattorian fleet moves up and positions itself.
The frigates line up and prep their weapons.
Hit! The RIN capital ship has now lost its main turret.
Of course, the cruisers are not about to let the Midgetmen beat them...
No, they completely destroy an RIN space station. Also, the space station had the shipments of RT meant for the Scythians. This means either the RIN has to scavenge for the shipments in the debris field, or it faces the wrath of angry Scythians.
Three squads of fighters are then deployed.
Praetorians
Meanwhile the Praetorians move up as well and split their 2 squads of fighters into 3 squads of 4 each.
The frigates score a kill! One less RIN destroyer to worry about.
The fighters join in on the carnage and...
..they take out a pesky gunboat.
The battleships V and Life on Mars fire all they’ve got in an attempt to massacre the Third Alliance fórces. One focuses on an RIN capital ship and the other on a Bavarian cruiser.
The RIN ship is disabled, lacking an engine and weapons, but survives the barrage of an entire battleship. This inspires the other RIN fórces and gives them +1 morality skill boost next turn.
It turns out that the Bavarian ship is of sturdy construction, but it loses its “head” and main cannon.
RIN
The RIN gets in to as close to a formation as their movement would allow.
The RIN cruiser targets the Trattorian battleship, but only succeeds in taking down its shields.
His friends, however, also take a crack at the battleship and...
...triumph for the RIN! The Trattorians start going “oh shit” and think maybe the RIN is more than a joke.
The asteroid base and the space-station also contribute to the RIN war effort.
The result.
“We’re not done yet!” proclaims the RIN admiral.
The gunboats and other asteroid base take a potshot at the Praetorian battleships.
“Meh, it’s only a flesh wound.”
Bavaria
Bavaria regroups and approximates a v-shape. They form a 12-fighter wing and stash the other 6 away as reserve.
Also, the Bavarians are much more successful against the Praetorian battleship, ripping off a whole chunk in the front.
Akkadians
*Note: Alright, the chain tethers were cool while they lasted, but I had to get rid of them b/c they kept fucking up my computer. Sorry.
Anyway, the Akkadian destroyers Gilgamesh, Baal, and Ishtar line up in a y-shape with gunboats escorting. Then:
[quote=”IVhorseman"]Oh, and of course, fire all weapons. I don't really care at who, just as long as they're the enemy.[/quote]
Okay then.
One Trattorian frigate goes down in (impossible in space) flames.
Another cruiser gets its ass handed back to it (although not destroyed, yet)
Another frigate nearly suffers the same fate as his brother but survives.
Akkadian gunboats (not pictured) further damage the battleship.
A unison effort from the light frigates and carriers brings a destroyer to its knees.
Finally, Akkadian bombers land on an asteroid and lay trans-yellow remote-detonate charges on it.
Scythians
The Scythians are not pleased with the loss of their RT shipments and decide to send a warning to the RIN.
A destroyer is damaged slightly by the smaller turrets.
The Emperor also fires its larger turrets at an asteroid.
Through this amazing show of force the Scythians crack an asteroid open, revealing a solid [color=FF000]RT[/color] core.
