![]() I lost two of my escorts to nova cannon fire, and my terror ship was crippled by the combined fire of the cruiser and dauntless lances. This left his other cruiser out of range on its own. I turned all my fleet, and concentrated on his cruiser without the nova cannon and his dauntless thing that were clumped together. He didn't realise the defence monitor was so slow, and left it behind. I had to get them after that nova cannon though. I launched my craft, although they were at half effect. I advanced asap, at my free all ahead full. (I had been warned it had effectively won him a couple of games.) His nova cannon hit the hammer dead on, and dropped its three shields and took off a point of damage. Everyone had apparantly pursuaded him to play me as I was destroying everyones fleets, and they were struggling to repair them. We had a few people around us too, as we are the two current leaders. ![]() ![]() With being out numbered, I was a bit worried. Attackers choose 600pts, defenders 700pts.) (the way the fleet lists work, is you choose a 1000pt list ) and then you pick your ships to use in each engagement from that. I had my usual Hammer, Terror ship and a squadron of two onslaughts plus ravager. He had a Dauntless, except it was fitted out as a carrier with three lances (didn't even know about it 'till then) a cruiser with a nova cannon (?) and another cruiser (cant remember which they were) Also in his fleet he had a defence monitor (the firepower 8, 1 lance thing). This was defended by the guy in 2 place in the tournament (I'm now first ) and who is quite a good player. He had lost his entire fleet, which he cannot replace as he only has one planet allowing just 2 repair points. The game ended in my next turn, after I finished off his murder. My assault boats then took care of the last of his escorts. The torpedoes were launched from my Raveners into his murder, after recieving hits from a total of 16 torpdeoes (from just 4 ravagers) it was crippled badly. His carrier (not the styx, the other one) suffered a close assault from gunz, heavy gunz and bombardment cannons. I fired everything point blank at his fleet. However, I had now got close, and the Ork fire power took its toll. The pride and joy of my fleet, the hammer, was crippled with 5 points lost. He took some casualties, but at long range, I was taking the most. I churned out my usual amount of assault boats, but he also sent out some fighters to reduce the amount. He decided to try and take back his planet. He now only has one planet, so his resources are low. Well, Friday I had two more games of BFG for the campaign.įirst up was the Chaos player I took the mining world off. They seem fine by me (despite losing a ravager and onslaught to it.). Oh I used the new nova cannon rules for the first time. Well I kept control of the system, but I am being attacked by another Imperial player next, who was watching the game with interest. I lost two out of three Onslaughts to one cobra! It was peer pressure that made me ram, it was all in one turn. We had a crowd gathered, as no-one had seen Orks in action. ![]() We both lost one ship each but it was funny. And I rammed two cobras with two Onslaughts. My Onslaught died to no damage to his cruiser. I had done some foolish things during the game. ) and my two kruisers on a head on with his Gothic, which i'd knocked two points off. (my lift turned up) his squadron of 4 cobras were being chased by a lone onsluaght (which someone likened to Han Solo chasing a load of tie fighters away in his millenium falcon. If you want some tactics for Orks, launch loads of assault boats, and take out those escorts. They ripped through his escorts aswell, as they cause criticals on a 2+, which means dead escorts. The assault boats are faster for a start. I've decided that they are a waste of time. I didn't bother launching any fighter bombers. I had already knocked its nova cannon off line with assault boats (nova cannon was damaged 4 times, starboard batteries twice and the engine room once, which was repaired). I stopped bothering to calculate it, since it only had 5 hits left. I got it and a terror ship to board an imperial cruiser (forgot which one, it had a nova cannon) and the difference between the scores was over 17. It has all the weapons of the terror ship, plus a longer range and higher strength on its forward batteries. The guy attacking me (Impreial) was the father of the chaos player I'd captured it from. I was defending the mining world I just captured from Chaos.
