This was a thematic game, although pretty rough for the CoA. As this was still one of Zorper's early games, I think it was good to see just how much good/bad luck can play into DW.
We weren't able to get pictures, but in the first turn the CoA commodore used a portal to send a squadron of frigates and a squadron of corvettes through to just left of the RC frigates and cruisers. They got off one decent shot, but as the frigates and cruisers hadn't activated yet, they made fairly short work of the CoA smalls.
Back to that crazy double 6 critical thing, we had two! Both of them were on large/massives. In turn 2 or 3 the Aristotle battleship smashed some rocks by moving about a foot courtesy of the RC Khatanga (another notch in its hull for another large adversary decimated). Then the next turn the RC carrier was thrown into a collision with some CoA cruisers (no damage on either side).
It seems that all that ambient sturginium may have stirred the pot of luck in this game.
