| Forget a scorecard here. You'll need a dance card to keep
track of this fight. ("Sabre-dance", that is...) These two
are going to be all over the map. We will likely see the D7TC create
a maze of Speed-20 drones which the Andro will play "in-and-out-the-windows"
with. I ran a WYN Black Shark against an Andro in the first round
of HR3 and believe me, it's hard, hard, hard to threaten an Andro who knows
how to maneuver with speed-20 drones.
Turn 1
"Well the Klingon shuttle has released 6 warp-powered fusion warheads, each capable of a minimum explosive damage of 12 points apiece. Four of them are cruising at a speed of 20. But wait! That's not all! For no extra cost two rare, expensive SPEED 32 DRONES are being delivered right to the Andro's front door! And it's all absolutely free! Back to you, Pat." IMP 24: The Andro tried to displace about 6 hexes closer to the Klingon. Originally I thought it worked and the Andro was Klingon-bait (displacing disrupts an Andro's fire control). Well, the moderator forgot to roll (check his dice list) for the Andro displacement success. Wouldn't ya know there was a "6" waiting for me? The Andro displaces in place as it were, so his fire control is still disrupted. He wouldn't have gotten the surprise T-R shot for 4 impulses unless he fired using passive fire control. This is the first time I've seen a failed displacement *benefit* the Andro player (but then, few Andros displace into combat either). My apologies to the Klingon player who must have been drooling over the possibility of first-turn internals. IMP 25: Andro announces speed change to 28. 'Bout time... IMP 27: The Klingon lashes out with 4 OL disruptors at 8 hexes distance.
No phasers, but the 3 hits were enough to cause disruptor-leak damage (ain't
it grand to have a UIM which doesn't burn out?) Oddly enough, the
damage went to the Andro's rear panels.
I found this decision to be somewhat questionable.
My own battle against an Andro in a disruptor boat (in my case a 1 phaser/1
drone WYN black shark) tells me that the disruptor boat needs to be ON
the Andro from the word go. You let him go, he'll run away, dump his panels
and be back with TRH's blazing.
IMP 29: Now that the Andro's fire control is back up, he takes a shot
at the fleeing Klingon--and gets lucky! 30 points at 7
Let me make this clear: The Andro has gotten lucky, Lucky, LUCKY! By rights he should have displaced to 4 hexes range and taken an unanswered full Klingon alpha strike without benefit of anesthetic. Average damage at that distance about equals the 60 points the Andro's panels could absorb at Reinforced levels. I was actually writing the sitrep with the results of the Klingon alpha strike when it hit me: I never had the Andro roll for displacement. Doh! Then I saw the "6" on the dice list. DOH! Cheap tuition in the School of Life for Dean, the Andro player. Then he gets those nice back-to-back T-R rolls on top of that... Apologies again to Steve, the Klingon player. Sadly, the Klingon players dice list did NOT like him. Had the Andro player displaced as planned, he would have been a few points SHY of cresting the Andro's panels. In many ways, the dice beat the Klingon as much as the Andro did. Turn 2
IMP 9: The drones are on the Andro's doorstep and he's dancing around
them. Meanwhile the Klingon has revved up to 21. Both are racing
for the top of the map.
Picture this: the Andro's headed away from
a Klingon real close to the top-left corner of the board and he's headed
D and just assured himself that the drones won't impede his progress to
the high-number side of the board. What's he do? Turn back
around?!? I thought this was the mistake of the century and Steve
the Klingon took as best advantage as he could of his good fortune..
IMP 18: The Klingon's chucked a couple of speed-32's at the Andro
The game is at a temporary hold due to moderator computer problems.
And what a cool impulse it was. The Klingon shot off 3 OL disrs
(plus a standard) and 4 P-1's into the Andro. PA panels slurped it
all up of course, but the Klingon got another disruptor leak out of it.
If he can keep the Andro in his sights and inside OL range when his weapons
recycle, he could break though and do actual *internals* The Andro,
for his part, nuked the two fast drones that got shot at him quite handily.
(2 P-2s each will do that, even at range 2...) There are still 4
speed 20's howling along after him.
Turn 3
Personally, if I were the Andro, I'd have taken my best shot on IMP 3 and dis-deved outta there before the Klink's disruptors recycled... I stand by this as THE way to have handled
this situation. You don't just bull through and pray for 6's...
...Case in point: If the Ando will go to range 4, he will likely go to 3, but 3 and 4 are the same to disruptors. The Klingon fires the disruptors this impulse (only 2 hit--sorry Steve) and holds the phasers knowing the Ando can't Dis-Dev while holding hot TRH's (Well, he CAN but it would be stupid). Now a IMP 3 TR shot would still shred a Klingon shield and the Andro gets clean away before the Klink starts loading up the front panels. In other bad news, the Andro fired a P-2 at the onrushing drone in front of him. Rolled a 1 too. The drone survived. Can you say "uh oh" boys and girls? IMP 5: Not "uh oh". Not YET anyway. Andro did a nice little dance around the speed-32, forcing the thing to HET instead of impact. The new launch is also closing on target, but the Andro will likely sweep right by--unless he dis-devs right now. He's AT range 3 to the Klingon... This is a terrible point for a game slowdown, but both parties said they were gonna be short on time, so... Now the final results are in and the luck has been spooned around THICK. The Andro got a poor TRH roll, but did manage to Dis-dev away. His front panels are 3 points from capacity, but by rights he should have taken internals (those lousy disruptor rolls kept the spectre of internals at bay). The Klingon got good phaser rolls, but got scorched for 14 internals. Steve lost no Drones or Disruptors, however. It's still anybody's game and we're back in high gear. IMP 16: Looks like the rest of the turn is gonna be boredom-city
as the Drones turn to follow the Andro and the Andro moves straight down after dis-deving.
If the Klingon had hit with more than 2 disruptors this turn, this game could have been different. He came VERY close to cresting the Andro's front panel limit. 3 disruptor hits would have resulted in 5 internals come phaser time. A hit with 4 disruptors (not at all unlikely) would have created 13 internals. At this point, leak hits would be translating into rolled internals (no hull left) even if no vital Andro systems were destroyed. Bad place to be. Personally, I don't think the Klingon was doomed, but he was facing an UPHILL fight. He could have continued. On the other hand, this game was dragging badly. Sometimes you just want to end it and go on to something new. |
