The Gorn ships break of their direct charge, and turn to keep the range to the incoming drones as high as possible. They cannot prevent the fast salvo from the nearer ship from reaching them, but are able to snare these in tractors. The slower salvo and the salvos from the further ship can't quite reach. Orders for the first half of Turn 2 are due in 48 hours.

This is the first time I've ever played the Kzinti against an actual person and not just playing solitaire scenarious. It was a long time ago. I really don't know what I'm doing, lol.

Thalantos posted:If a Wild Weasel gets destroyed do seeking weapons reaquire their target? There is a 'explosion period' where after a WW is destroyed it stays attracting seekers for several impulses or until the Weaseling unit performs some action that would normally void a weasel.

You definitely had the upper hand in the first turn, since you have Drones that you can sic on us while our Phasers couldn't fire. Now we've got them powered up, but you've got the ability to keep the pressure on along with slightly better maneuverability. You definitely have me and Added working hard to figure out how to avoid taking drones to the face so far!

Turn 2 Part 1 Kziniti Speed: 9 Turn Mode: 2 Gorn Speed: 12 Turn Mode: 3 The Gorn turn toward the Kzinti ships, tractoring the fast drones from Devourer of Souls's opening salvo as they do so. Ravager of World's slow drones get too close and are destroyed by Sauricon's rear phasers. Meanwhile, the Kzinti maneuver to maintain a constant range.  The Gorn swing toward the distressed convoy, and Sauricon uses her starboard phaser bank to vaporize the remaining inbound drones, second before impact. Both Kzinti ships lash the Serpenticon with long-range disruptor fire. Heavy jamming causes only one disruptor from each ship to find the mark, and the long range keeps damage to a minimum. Serpenticon shield #2 at 75%  Net ECM shift 2. Devourer of Souls rolls (after ECM shift): 5,4 (MH) Ravager of Worlds rolls (after ECM shift): 8,3 (MH) The Gorn are moving toward the attacked ships.  Orders for the second half of turn 2 are due in 48 hours. If it is desired to change movement plots, the speed 9 Kzinti ships have moved 4/9 and the Gorn have moved 6/12.

Orders Furballs and Scales sent. A couple of general questions: Does energy put into phasers hold over from turn to turn if I don't use it? And it looks like I can use battery power during my turn. When exactly can I do this? Is it possible to dump the batteries into shield reinforcement to prevent incoming damage, or do i have to do it on an impulse before they fire?

Today is also my day off, so I'm around the house and can probably knock out my turns relatively quickly. I'm pretty busy at work so I'm having to wait until I get home before playing.

Thalantos posted:Orders Furballs and Scales sent. Phaser energy holds over and can be used for any phaser. Battery power can be used at most any time. There is actually a detailed sequence of play for this game. Last time I saw it it was about five pages long but yiu can reinforce shields at any time and can specifically reinforce as you are hit.

Xenocides posted:Phaser energy holds over and can be used for any phaser. I believe that's only with battery power however, as which shield is being specifically reinforced is determined when you spend the energy. So if you allocate energy at the beginning of the turn from impulse/warp/APR, you decide then which facing's being reinforced. That's what I got from the Cadet's Handbook at any rate.

Yes, I think that's true. If you're talking about energy allocation at the beginning of the turn, you have to allocate it then to whichever shield facing you choose. But since you can spend battery power during the turn, without deciding ahead of time whether you are going to use it or not(it can be a spur of the moment thing, I believe), then it seems that you choose the shield facing when you spend it.

Yeah, sorry if I was unclear. That is only battery power. Other power can only be sent to a specific shield at the beginning of the turn or to general reinforcement which covers all shields but you have to pay at a 2 to 1 ratio to get general reinforcement.
