About to begin, for anyone interested in seeing 3,000 points of ships soon to be much much less.

Round 2 has finished! When two titanic fleets clash, you know the result is going to be bloody. Turn 2 sent multiple ships from both sides to the scrap heap, and damaged many more.

Turn 2 saw some crazy highlights, such as a VSD jumping out of hyperspacing and reducing Foresight to 0 shields 1 hull in it's first activation, to be followed up with a killshot from a lone Tie Adv. Rieeken countered that impressive shot by an equally punishing shot of his own, destroying the Quasar carrier with it's first activation of the game. Meanwhile, the Rebel fleet took down Avenger by focusing the firepower of 6 ships against it. That's right. It took 6 ships to take down the behemoth, and the killshot came from a YT-2400 activating with rogue with the last dice to be tossed in the turn. Similarly, Imperial bombers have worn down almost all of Rieekan's shields and will soon be bombing empty hull. This one is far from over, as the sheer amount of firepower still on the board means this is anyones game.

Casualties are as follows:

Rebels:

-Jaina's Light

-Foresight

-1 B-Wing, 1 X-Wing

Imperials:

- Demolisher

-Avenger

-Arquitens Light Cruiser

-Quasar Fire I-Class Cruiser-Carrier

-1 Tie Advanced

NOTE: I did get a log file this time, but it is broken up into a bunch of peices. It will be up a bit later when I have had a chance to upload it.

Hey Imperials, I was talking to the Rebels and I think I am going to go ahead and forego my turn since I picked up Irish's date for purposes of expediency. GNIPS will take the next two, and by then the hope is Irish will be back and able to close us out. This is good with them, but wanted to make sure it flew with you as well. If so, then POD and GNIPS should be set to start turn 3.

Here is the save file for the two of you:

And for you and anyone else who is interested here is the log:

^^ I hope that works, would appreciate someone testing. Because it was split in 4 different pieces, I tried to go ahead and line all the logs up and compile it into one for convenience. Want to make sure it worked though.

I am fine with that, and think they will too, but I’ll let them speak for themselves

@PodRacer and I have scheduled to commence our round on Wednesday the 29th at 2 PM GMT.

Ok so barring any objections the AOA continues on!

After a grueling 6 hours of play, Round 3 finished last night.

A special mention: Garels's Honor proved himself a champ, taking out an unactivated Arq and ramming a Goz, pulling a structural. Said Goz then failed to kill GH with his squad commadns and salvos, and rammed himself to death on the hull of his bane.

In order: JJ's Vic dropped out of hyperspace behind Adar and Yavaris in the top left of the screen. Salvation, after considering popping in facing JJ, instead dropped head-to-head with Ozzel's Int. Kallus then dropped behind the BCC GR-75 in the top right of the screen.

The first activation of the game was Dorrin's Alpha Raider , which emptied external racks onto Bury Us Now! . The ship survived on 2 hull, however, and the Raider sped up to 4 and sailed over it. Then, Dodonna activated, bringing Beta down to 1 hull (thanks Structural!) and injuring Ozzel's Int. He then managed to place himself in such a way that he was only in the side arcs of all three enemy vessels around him. Beta then activated, firing a salvo at Dodonna before kamikazeing Salvation - I think he was aiming for the station, but he missed by that much *makes an inch sign*. GH activated next, and events followed as described above. The fifth and 6th activations of the game were, I believe, Ackbar and another Goz. Ackbar took a pot shot at the Goz, but failed to roll an Acc, and completely whiffed on its attack against the Arq. The Gozanti sent bombers after Rieekan. He also killed Garel's , I think. After that Bury escaped the range of the Int, and the Arq wounded the BCC '75. The latter went next, then died to Kallus. Rieekan went, failing to pull the killing structural on the last Goz, which flew away. The rest of the ships activated with little of note, save Yavaris having Ten and a YT1300 killing Ree and Valen respectively. Both got an acc and a hit twice.

The squads then moved around, with nothing really of note happening. I'll see if I can get a snapshot of the end situation later.

And, better late than never, a screenshot of the end-of-turn positions:

I'm not sure how you would describe your time getting hammered, but it seems to be just out of my grasp.

@Dorrin314 , @PodRacer , @Visovics , @BrobaFett , @Irishmadcat : as we continue our AOA, do you guys want to implement the FAQ ruling on Dodonna, or leave it be for now, as we have already started?

I’m fine with leaving it as it started

@GhostofNobodyInParticular , @BrobaFett , @Irishmadcat

@PodRacer , @Visovics and I have decided to call it here. Well played all, it has been lots of fun playing with all of you gentlemen.

Thank you for the games guys. Sorry the All out assualt turned out to be so unbalanced. Mid janaury I will be free to do this again if ye are up for it?

It was a great campaign guys, thanks for all the games!

Twas indeed fun! Thanks to all! I hope to be able to play again, but what with the Vassal World Cup, I do not know if I will have time. Keep me informed though, please, as I most certainly am interested in playing again if possible.
