Deployment:
Turn 1
Renegade Turn 1:
Both Frigates out of range of engaging the Swords.
Unyielding Fury fires it’s prow lances, scoring a single hit on the sword, removing its shield.
Imperial Turn 1:
The
Red Queen moves around the far side of the planet, trying to flank the Attacking Renegade ships.
Swords move forward to engage their enemies and buy the
Red Queen time to catch the enemy.
Rabbit scores a hit on
Rabid Wolf, removing it’s void shield,
Alice also fires on the Rabid Wolf, but between the blast marker and range, scores no hits.
Renegade Turn 2:
Rabid Wolf creeps forward, slowed down by the blast marker, Wraith cuts off to the right of it’s sister escort ready to pour fire into the Alice.
Unyielding Fury pulls in close to the Rabbit, bringing its massive weapons batteries to bear on the escort.
Rabid Wolf fires in retilation on the
Rabbit, tearing it’s shields down with it’s modest weapons battery. The
Unyielding Fury’s cascade of firepower pounds the lesser ship into fragments, fire dances across her hull as she is torn apart.
The
Wraith fires upon
Alice, ripping her shields down, leaving her exposed to the prow lance batteries of the
Unyielding Fury, which again shatters the smaller vessel, the beams slicing through the frigate, leaving her to drift as nothing more than a hulk.
Both frigates are now dead, having rolled a four for removing blast markers, all blast markers have been removed.
Imperial Turn 2:
The
Red Queen fires upon the
Rabid Wolf, the gun batteries tearing down the smaller craft’s shields. However the
Red Queen’s lances fail to hit the smaller frigate. The wave of Torpedoes wash forth, all of them make it through the blast maker, one crashes into the frigate. The defensive turrets fail to intercept the incoming ordnance and it crashes head long into the craft. Sending explosions rippling through the ships frame.
Imperial Player rolls 6, removing all of the blast markers
Renegade Turn 3:
With the loss of the
Rabid Wolf, both ships rush forward, using the planet as cover as the move to loop around to catch the more ponderous imperial cruiser.
Imperial Turn 3:
The
Red Queen gives chase after her faster prey. The large planet that is being fought over blocking her guns from finding a clean shot upon her prey.
Renegade Turn 4:
Both ships continue to circle around the planet.
Imperial Turn 4:
Tired of trying to chase the faster craft, the
Red Queen begins to turn to face the attackers.
Renegade Turn 5:
The
Unyielding Fury pulls around bringing her guns just barely into maximum range, while the Wraith screams forward to burry it’s batteries into the cruiser in hopes of removing at least a few of the larger craft’s shields.
Even combined the two ships are only able to remove the shields from the Imperial Cruiser.
Imperial Turn 5:
The
Red Queen slowed by traveling through the wake of the spent energy of its shields, the cruiser burns away from the fight.
Renegade turn 6:
The
Wraith is not yet ready to let the Imperial cruiser flee without some vengeance vented upon her. It’s weapon batteries once more claim a shield. Again the range prevents the Unyielding fury from landing a blow.
Imperial Turn 6:
Out flanked and out gunned the
Red Queen flees unscathed from the combat, leaving the planet and the burning wrecks of her escorts behind.
Renegade Victory!
Our first attempt at
BFG, and while only a 300pt game, we both enjoyed it. The rules are taking a little getting use to, but its started to run smoother closer to the end as we started to figure them out.
Sorry for the lack of pictures guys, hope you enjoy it all the same, as a few turns did go without pictures being taken.
