SPACE VOTING RESULTS:
Favorite Rules - Silent Death

Daring raid on a heavily protected space station. I succeeded in sneaking in a destroyer with 2 long range hitting gunboats with a very meager escort. After a heavy fight 3/4 of the defending ships were out, my escorts were halved and my destroyer was badly mauled. But the most important part; the space station was still allive (damn) I had to run as reinforcements would arrive soon. I managed to limp away with the expensive destroyer (phew) and I could rescue all ejected crew. I was driven off but my enemies paid a high price: many fighters destroyen and crew killed as they bravely defended the station and worse the station was hit hard, very hard. Probably 60% of the facilities were destroyed. We are playing a campaign and that damage will be very expensive and difficult to repair. A second fleet of mine is already gathering to finish the job now he is weak..... [04 Nov 1999]

Silent Death fleet battle as part of a home-grown campaign. Played on a ping pong table with over 300 ships [03 Nov 1999]

There I was with the rest of the Espan Reserve unit #127 "Dirtfarmers" patroling the fringes of our territory. We tore into those Kashmeri rats like a vrak worm on brreg rice. Our meager force of 4x Blood Hawks, 4x Stingers, 4x Saucer Shuttles keyed their attack pattern's by slotting in around our primary elements 2x Kosmos and 2x Stratta. No doubt we were out-gunned, we lined up against an impressive Kashmere force including 4x Helbenders, 4x Maruts a Varuna a dredded Black Widow, and who knows what else? Anyway, the whole assault was a calvacade of ineptitude. Don't get me wrong, the tactics we sound but nobody could hit anything, not even the Black Widow. Odds are the Kashmere would have comeout on top, if he had takent he time to think about it, but the battlefield does not give a man that time so he left the field in defeat. In all honesty, if they had not turned tail and fled it may have ground down to a tie, or those Kashmeri punks may have pulled it out. [03 Nov 1999]

It was a Sunrunners versus ASP fight, and much to much my enemies' surprise, I flew my ASP fleet right up his middle and blew away his big guys.

I was having a rough time of it, but it actually looked like I had a chance to win, but we declared it a draw. [03 Nov 1999]

BattleField Gothic...

4 Choas Cruisers with junior commander against imperial fleet with decoy. I accomplished my subplot by getting the young and promising commander "blooded" and managed to disengage with two ships of my four, while destroying one enemy ship and the decoy. [29 Mar 99]

It was a game of Battlefleet Gothic. I was playing Chaos against Imperials. On the second turn, I got one of his cruisers in the firing arcs of all my ships. Suffice to say, the rest of the battle was not pretty. [29 Mar 99]

Using Star Wars based vessels and Silent Death rules an Alliance fighter force overwhelmed the fighter escorts of a Star Destroyer (represented as an escort class ship) which they then destroyed with a mass torpedoe launch. The Star Destroyer commander was, shall we say, more than a little surprised. [28 Mar 99]

Six sided, 200pt Silent Death death match. Taught three miniature novices to play in under fifteen minutes. As usual, the cowards who stayed out of the fray picked off the bloodied sluggers for a cherry pick win. [27 Mar 99]

Two Jovian Pathfinder exo-armors were escorting a Mercurian space freighter, when they were attacked by squadron of (presumed) Venutian Ryu exos. The Ryus avoided a series of guided missile attacks from the Pathfinders (Ryus have an anti-missile system), sustaining only minor damage on the approach. One Pathfinder was destroyed by Ryu cannon fire, and the other took a serious thruster hit. The Ryus then closed on the frieghter, penetrating its cargo hold with point-blank cannon fire, destroying the cargo (war materials headed for the Martian Free Republic). As the Ryus thrusted away, the remaining Jovian exoarmor activated its distress beacon, hoping to catch the attention of a friendly vessel before time ran out.... [26 Mar 99]
