Let's Play A Game! (Interweb Movement Practice)

[EDIT] This was a bad idea. Let this thread die.

Ok, so I want to practice my movement and predictions and I need YOUR help! Here's how it works:

You'll be moving the Bad Guy List(below) and I'll move the Good Guy List(below). I'll post a current state of the board and set my dials and movement actions. Then, I'll await your movement instructions (include movement actions if applicable) and once we come to a consensus I'll perform all the movements and post a picture with the new state of the board. This should work since the Good Guy List ships are all lower Pilot Skill and bumps will all resolve after the fact.

Rinse and repeat until we get bored or decide a ship blew up in combat or something. We'll see what happens, kinda making this up as I go.

======================================================
Bad Guy List

Rear Admiral Chiraneau - PS 8
Predator
Yssane Isard
Gunner

Whisper - PS 9

Advanced Cloaking Device
======================================================
Good Guy List

Omnicron Group Pilot - PS 2
Darth Vader

Bounter Hunter - PS 3

Sigma Squadron Pilot - PS 3
Stygium Particle Accelerator

Dark Curse - PS 6

Wouldn't you just be happier over on Vassal? This seems very... time consuming.

But I do wish you good luck and will check back for pictures.

Yeah, I am with Dagonet on this one. This method has a very 'play by email' feel to it would could take days to play. I'd rather play it out over Vassal or on the table. Good luck though.

Agree with others that vassal is what you need, but I am bored, so...

you need to go ahead and move yours, as Your PS is lower. I have my moves and will not change them, but you move first.

Sorry, I honestly thought this thread had died. I started it in my off time at work and will continue it as long as there is interest.

I had my maneuvers planned ahead of time. If I revealed my movements initially you could move to counter my movements so I was keeping it a secret. Since we've only gotten 1 response so far we'll go with it.

[EDIT] Just realized this makes Whisper's decloak nearly impossible to do so maybe I will have to reveal my maneuvers ahead of time.

MOVEMENT 1 (Darthfish) - Whisper is cloaked.

What were the actions taken?

What were the actions taken?

We're not playing a full fledged game of X Wing so my goal was to focus on movement. I'm more interested in people's thoughts on movement where they would move and why. Maybe we can make some assumed combat results, kinda winging it really.

I ask because the Phantom may or may not be cloaked at the moment.

Here, make your Deci movement first then check the Spoiler.

MOVEMENT 2

Whisper - 3 Left turn, remain cloaked, barrel roll right and foward as far as possible.

Deci - 1 straight foward. Target lock if possible, focus if not.

Ok, I am abandoning this since I saw your request to let the thread die... ejecting.
