Battle in the Parker Islands
« on: March 23, 2015, 12:39:36 am »
CRISIS IN THE ATLANTIC!

An independent exploration team, scouring the seafloor of the South Atlantic, has located a cache of valuable sturginium crystals in the middle of the Parker Island Group. Unfortunately, both the Grand Coalition and Imperial Bond were holding fleet exercises in waters nearby, and the exploration team's wireless transmissions were intercepted by both Coalition and Bond radio operators. Our correspondent embedded on the Coalition's flagship says both fleets are now bearing down at flank speed on this lonely corner of the ocean, ready to stake their claim--by massed broadside, if necessary--to this incredible strategic asset

That report is a cool way to look at things. I like it.
What a gruesome day, but fun all the same.

That was a fun report. The way you describe everything in the report really pulls you in to the scenario.

Thanks again!

I agree, but he should really call the radio a "Marconi" for effect.  :)

and agree, great write-up! Though I thought the Imperium was justifiably winning. D'oh! stupid scenario... ;-)

Yah Greg, fantastic job on the pics and write up!  It was a good game, fought hard by both sides, with the fickle dice gods favoring and favoring all of us several times. 

The Covenant Thales corvettes were actually Diogenes frigates.  Greg, if in addition to their guns, if you'd let me have torps on my corvettes...

Dang it, sorry Mark, I thought I had identified those ships as corvettes. I can't keep all those Covie ships straight.
