Don't we get to see the combat in that turn?

Anyway, I'm okay with letting them take Polaris and getting the first strike in now if that's what you people want to do. This is looking more like there might be just one fleet and more like they could deliver a devastating first strike if allowed to.

[Veers]

"The End is Ni..."

Theirs, not ours. Silly

[AdmiralRalwood]

1st DD orders updated. I also remembered to pick a promotion upgrade, this time.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

Alright I'm hitting the 6th Cordi and learning Master in logistics. Given the number of times I've had to double resupply in Virgo, this should be useful

I'm leaving the second action blank for now. If anybody's got a suggestion, I'm all ears.

[Lorric]

Looks like Hartzaden's off down South. So I guess we're going ahead with niffiwan's idea to wait and strike first, as we'll need to wait to have 3 fleets now, with the arrival of the 4th CRF.

[Veers]

If Polaris is not invaded this turn, I'll move the 1st CRF in to defend. And then we can use our 3 fleets as the strike package when I am attacked.



And as much as that does put our plans out. The 3rd CRF is in a great spot to reinforce the CSA and provide a stronger Southern Front by moving in that direction.

[AndrewofDoom]

It's likely I'm going to huddle down in the middle of the map for now and respond to requests as required since I'm out for repairs. I'm likely to want to take Master of Logistics, since, as the tank, I need to be able to have as little downtime as possible between tanking and repairing damage.

[Spoon]

Remember how I said a while ago that I could make better turn videos? Well its probably still true but it turns out I'm just too damn lazy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Spoon]

Next turn deadline is going to be on friday 10-01-2014
Happy new year in advance

[Lorric]

Happy new year in advance

Going somewhere? Happy New Year in advance to you too then, Spoon.

[Lorric]

Yooooooooohooooooooo.

Time is creeping on. Admiral MS, mobcdmoc3, AndrewofDoom, and SpardaSon21 still need to take their turn.

[mobcdmoc3]

Hmm... So I'm not entirely sure what an optimal move would be for me. I could go to Draco to attack the 5th Nordera, at the risk of getting eaten alive by the deathstack, or I could resupply once and set up defense while Enioch is resupplying. Thoughts?

Looks like you and Sparda are left. And one of you is going to have to move out, or there will be too many fleets in Vega (niffiwan is coming). Perhaps you could in case Sparda doesn't come back. Go to Aquarius and Resupply.

Sparda, I would recommend to use your combined arms and defend.

[Flak]

All your base are belong to us!

Anyway, what is that Special Fleet? Some Nordera special forces or some other race? Robots perhaps?

[Spoon]

And turn 13 is a thing.

A few Admirals still havent made their trait choices!

It's a Hertak fleet that has a few combat ready Aluyerian crafts with them. They are sort of dangerous.

[Lorric]

What on Earth is that in the background in Aldebaran?

And why is the special fleet allowed to move without conquering?

I see the special fleet is taking a lot less damage than another fleet would take. Would you mind sharing the math behind that please?

[Lorric]

Spoon, you have made mistakes regarding the Cordi. You missed this and gave them their stats from the previous engagement:

Code: [Select]

Aldebaran, 3rd Cordi and 6th Cordi vs 1st SF

1st SF Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 14 (18+5+1)
Capital attack strength: 11 (18+1)
Fighters at 44% Strength, 4th Gen
Capital ships at 56% Strength
Morale: High

3rd Cordi Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 16 (20)
Capital attack strength: 11 (12)
Fighters at 82% Strength
Capital ships at 91% Strength
Morale: Normal

6th Cordi Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 16 (20)
Capital attack strength: 11 (12)
Fighters at 82% Strength
Capital ships at 91% Strength
Morale: Normal


End Strength
1st SF Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 0 (18+5)
Capital attack strength: 3 (18)
Fighters at 0% Strength, 4th Gen
Capital ships at 18% Strength
Morale: Normal

3rd Cordi Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 14 (20)
Capital attack strength: 10 (12)
Fighters at 72% Strength
Capital ships at 83% Strength
Morale: Normal

6th Cordi Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 14 (20)
Capital attack strength: 10 (12)
Fighters at 72% Strength
Capital ships at 83% Strength
Morale: Normal

I think you've done something wrong with the calculation itself too. We should have enough to kill the 6th Cordi:

Code: [Select]

Aldebaran, 2nd CRF, 2nd SF, 1st DD vs 6th Cordi

2nd CRF Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 19+9=28 (16+2+2)
Capital attack strength: 17+10=27 (17+2)
Fighters at 92% Strength, 3rd Gen
Capital ships at 90% Strength
Morale: Very High

1st DD Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 22+10=32 (18+2+2)
Capital attack strength: 19+11+4=34 (17+2)
Fighters at 100% Strength, 3rd Gen
Capital ships at 100% Strength
Morale: Normal
Inspirational Leader
Aggressive leader
Barrage prepared

2nd SF Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 20+8=28 (18+5+1)
Capital attack strength: 15+10=25 (18+1)
Fighters at 79% Strength, 4th Gen
Capital ships at 78% Strength
Morale: High

Capship damage: 27+34+25=86. Cordi only have 83.

6th Cordi Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 14 (20)
Capital attack strength: 10 (12)
Fighters at 72% Strength
Capital ships at 83% Strength
Morale: Normal
And don't forget to adjust the 3rd Cordi also, for less damage to my fleet from their attack, and less damage to our fleets from wiping out the 6th Cordi.

[Droid803]

What on Earth is that in the background in Aldebaran?

A glorious spaaaace colony!

[Jellyfish]

I wonder if I can ignore the 2nd Fura/Zy on the way and haul ass to Sol.

[Lorric]

With our supply line cut, we fight and die with what we have.

So on the top, The fleets in Formalhaut go to Polaris and attack the 2nd Fura/Zy. The fleets in Sol attack the Special fleet, the 4th CRF using Zeal first. And in Aldebaran, we all attack and destroy the 3rd Cordi, with the 2nd SF following that with a Blitz attack on the 4th Hertak, heading back to Virgo.

On the bottom, have the 3rd DD and 2nd SF move around to Virgo. This will ensure we have the killing punch to take out the 4th Hertak next turn.

Have the 1st CSA take Hydra and the 3rd CRF join them there. The 1st LSF can attack the 5th Nordera. If the 1st Fura’ngle come down, those two fleets will be in a position to cut them off. It would be nice if we can set up a situation where we can destroy the Nordera without them exploding in our faces, so that starts with the initial weakening attack from the 1st LSF.

For now, I would leave the 1st UGCR in Aquarius and have the 2nd UGCR join them there. I wonder if mercs can still be hired? If so, they can eventually get back into the fight. Mercs don’t need a supply line surely. In fact, are mercs off cooldown now? If so, the 2nd UGCR could move to Aquarius and hire mercs, and the 1st UGCR hire mercs and move to Vega.
