I was testing some new spaceship designs for the Jovian Universe. Basically, the Martian Free Republic was performing a space facility seisure against the Martian Federation. It was my first boarding actions tactical gameset. The Free Republic was beaten back. [4 Apr 99]

Heh. We (CEGA BG69) ran down a "renegade" venusian convoy. Turned out their Ryus aren't THAT advanced....

Jovian Chronicles is the greatest b/c the limitless possibilites in vehicle construction and the fast-playing, yet "realistic" tactical system. 3D vectored space combat, plus it interlocks perfectly w/surface and skirmish scale... [29 Mar 99]

The last game was in Jovian Chronicles.

It was a combat in Dione, one of the moons of Saturn. The players made reentry (I ruled that Dione had some residul atmosphere) and proceeded to the enemy base.

The met the enemies and, due to a very good roll, found other exo-armors that were hiding in the snow. They got near, were attacked but were ready, so they had no problem dispatching the foes. Once securing the area, they signaled the fleet in orbit and dropships with infantry and

fuel were sent. The classified cargo on the ship that fell in the planet was recovered and mission over.

From the, it was a long, boring and nerve-wrecking (mostly off-play) two months trip back to Jupiter. [28 Mar 99]

Liam McGintny

Well.. my last game was a game of B5 Wars -- I was introducing my friends to the game, so it was a plain vanilla point against point game of Minbari vs. Humans.. It got a bit bogged down when they started using theif fighters (I let them work together.. less for each to handle and a better chance of good ideas :)

In any case.. It was a stretched out game, but it came to a not-so decisive victory for the Minbari - Our main cruiser was taken out, but then the smaller ships harassed the Human's bigger vessels into running away with heavy damage.. [28 Mar 99]

Frank "Jolan" Foulis

It was a Jovian Chronicles game and was basically a re-enactment of the final battle in my campaign Trials of Prometheus. I ran it on my friends basement and used mock-up mini's for the various exo-armors. And various nick-nacks for ships and asteroids. It was 2D and was very fast paced game. role-playing aside the final battle was 4 hours out of the 10 we played! [28 Mar 99]

Scott Payne

I played a game of Jovian Chronicles (the battle of Kurtzenheim from The Chaos Principle OVA). My friend was using the CEGA forces, and I the Jovian. Well, to make a long story short, I was totally pasted (need to work on my tactics a tiny bit). He completely decimated my exo forces and took out most of the fleet that I had. [28 Mar 99]

Jovian Chronicles: 4 Jovian Exo-Armor Pathfinders vs. 4 CEGA Wyverns 1 Jovian Thunderbolt 1 CEGA Hachiman 2 Jovian Lancers 2 CEGA Wraiths Meeting engagement, CEGA force closed while the Jovian force split into 3 units, 2 sets of 2 Pathfinders and 1 Lancer with the Thunderbolt in the middle. The Wraiths and the Hachiman closed with the Thunderbolt and 2 pairs of Wyvern split to engage the Jovian flights. In short, the Thunderbolt was sunk, but the Wyverns were destroyed. The Wraiths escaped, but the Hachiman was sunk by the remaining two Pathfinders and two Lancers. [28 Mar 99]
