Battle of First Yeltsin
Turn 3 results
The Royal Manticore Navy has a bad run of luck this turn, with countermissiles racing out to intercept the designated salvoes; yet failing to spot Thunder of God's chase salvo which sneaks into range. HMS Troubador bucks as 2 warheads survive point defence to inflict almost mirror damage to Principality. She is also streaming atmosphere as life support and artificial gravity go offline.
Conversely, the Navy of the Faithful has the opposite luck. With attrocious contermissile & PDS results, the 2 missiles which reach attack range both strike the wedge of their respective targets.
No ship is within effective energy range this turn, due to interposed sidewalls (and wedges). Next turn is a different matter though, with Troubador on a collision course with both Faithful warships. If Troubador doesn't get her gravity back, she can't maneuver away; if she doesn't get her firecon back, her energy weapons are unavailable! Decisions, decisions....
Transmission from Principality to RMN: 'You call that a hit?
My fourth wife hits harder then that!!'
*****
Thanks to the RMN, who successfully broke my spreadsheet with
the large amount of missiles they have launched over the last few turns. I had only
planned for 3 full broadsides, but I can now handle almost anything you throw at me.
