Played a double defender double HLC list, without Stealth device or Lone Wolf on vessery, with my Nuclear Option list. For my part the Twin Laser turret was downgraded to an ion turret because the opponent wasnt comfortable playing it before it's spoilered.

The defenders were givien inititive, moving them before Jan Ors, Squad Leader. Asteroids were fairly dense in the center of the field.

His setup was clearly intended to take advantage of the Defener's k turn- defenders facing each other about Range 3 from each other, so they could fly as a squadron either way around the map. For my part Dutch threatened to go stright through the asteroids, and after the defenders placed jan and Salm placed to go clockwise.

After two rounds of positioning, Vessery decided to duck into the asteroids while Rexler kept circling... just as my entire force turned to face him. (jan was facing an asteroid, but not on it)

Dutch moved and focused. Vessery moved in, attempted to barrel roll, focused instead. Jan moved, didnt hit the asteroid I was worried about, and used Squad leader. Dutch had a range 2 target lock on Vessery, Salm had a range 3 lock. Salm moved and focused.

Salm prepped a torp, and Jan gave him an extra die. Crit, hit, hit, focus, blank. Rerolling the blank gave me a hit, for 4 hits and a crit vs 3 dice defender. He rolled an evade and a focus, burning the focus to not take a crit.

Vessery didnt have a lock and spent his focus already so his heavy laser roll of Crit, Focus, Focus blank was disheartening. Dutch lost a single shield.

Despite the lack of range 3 turret, Jan was actually facing Vessery, and I decided to roll a long range shot through an asteroid with the HWK's primary weapon. She got a crit on her 1 die. Vessery got 4 blanks and a focus. Damaged Cockpit.

Finally Dutch got to fire- Crit, hit, hit focus. no reason not to focus on the attack... Evade Focus and blank. Vessery dies. Opponent conceded.
