Deadshane vs Maturin starting imminently, hopefully.

Ardaedhel vs Leowulf is over, result was a win for Ardaedhel at 352-92 (9-1 with 260 MoV).

He let those angry little shrimp get just a little too close to Motti and his cronies. A preposterously good opening broadside from Beast (MC30T) against Brother I (VSD-II) resulted in thirteen damage (two of those from ACM) with no brace available just before the brave souls aboard the torpedo frigate fled for the escape pods; a slightly mis-timed activation on Motti's flagship Fenrisulfr (ISD-II) gave Inferno (MC30T) a double-arc into Fenris' side arc; and frantic work by repair crews aboard Ackbar's Knowledge (MC80C) kept her hull together just long enough to calculate the jump to lightspeed despite withering fire from Brother II (VSD-II).

All around a fantastic game that would have swung heavily toward the middle had Knowledge taken one single more damage in the last round.

Sadly we coudln't play a 6th round due to me having to go to work, would have been nice to get that extra ~170 from the rebel flagship, Knowledge, however I was happy to call what was a fun, brutal game, thanks to Ardaedhel for being a great opponent!

Deadshane vs Maturin starting imminently, hopefully.

Alas, it seems Deadshane was unable to make it. It's unlikely we can get our schedules to mesh by the deadline. :(

Well, is it a legit no-show or a "couldn't schedule?"

I conceeded to Maturin after our first schedule hose up. I had a bit of a family emergency and the rest of the week just didnt work out.

Score our game accordingly.

Sorry to hear that brother. I hope everything turns out for the best. Family always matters far more than games.

Wait... were we really only on turn 5? I could've sworn that was the end of turn 6... I mean, not that it matters now. I must've lost track at some point, cause I definitely had the turn counter on turn 6, and my activated squadrons on blue. Whoops.

Yes, I too hope all is well. I know how demanding family is. I'd be happy to try and still get a game in sometime should we ever find ourselves available at the same time. :)

So Iskander vs Bitharne tonight?

Bronzo Joe / Ceryliae - you guys scheduled your game?

Bronzoe did not show up at our scheduled time, and he forfeited because we couldn't find a time to reschedule.

Edited by Ceryliae

After an intense battle that saw much of the action in round two, Iskander defeats Bitharne with a 400-110 (9-1).

Well, that'll do it. I will post R3 pairing tonight .
