Battle of First Yeltsin
Turn 1 report

Missiles salvoes are launched as Thunder of God & Principality accelerate to attack speed. Both sides are using laser heads at this point to increase their attack percentage & get a feel for using the missile rules.
Countermissiles are on hold as they wait for targets to enter their range. At first glance it appears that missiles will start striking next turn, but will they hit or will they undershoot? We shall see.

Story transmissions:

Reverend James finishes with, "May God protect us from harm and give us
the strength to remove the infidels from his sight, so that their blasphemy
will be punished! Amen."

Captain White responds, "All personnel attend to their duties; Helm, come to
course 120 degrees with maximum thrust. Starboard missile batteries fire.
Those two ships will not stand up to our might."
