Perfect! Thanks Okie. BTW, I added many of these smilies just for you.
|
Okie

I had started and rolled in the wrong place, so if you want I can roll again.
I also just setup the game map and do the move's useing it, so all you do is give the coordinate's for your move's and with what unit's. Seem to make a game go faster then waiting for someone to do a map every so often. Doe's that sound copasetic? Okie

I predict the Butlers win.
|
Captain Morevo
|
Considering the Butlers are Slow, don't have Sub Hunter, and all the Sub Commander has to do is roll a single 6? (provided I don't pop smoke and evade the attack) I don't count on it. But, I shall command my vessels to the best that I can... plus it doesn't appear I actually have to defend anything.

Look's like you setup first then I move.
|
Okie
|
Captain Morevo, where are you going to set up? You will be along the A row somewhere. Once we get setup it shouldn't take long for us to play this out.
|
Captain Morevo
|
Assuming numbers Go "Up" the map like on a Data Plot, I deploy both vessels in A4.
|
Captain Morevo
|
Frak me... read E/W wrong... K4
|
Okie
|
What we usually do is row A is west and K is east, and numbered from top to bottom. So you would be in A4 and I'll start in G6 and move to F6. over to you!
|
Captain Morevo
|
| Quote: | | RN deploys to the east, KM to the west. |
I deploy on the RIGHT side of the map, so, no, I'm in K4.
And the numbers go from the Bottom(1)->Up read the "Rules Clarification" thread.

Okie
|
Ok, I'm in F3 after my move over to you.

by-the-by, I'm not giving you a free shot, if you want to end this, youre gonna have to come to me, on my terms, I have no reason to come in close unless I am guaranteed an attack, so we can either dance around each other until the trumpet sounds, or we can finish this.

I think you are hunting me not the other way around. I could just slip off the map to get a tactical win.
|
Captain Morevo
|
Those are not the conditions of the Scenario, to be victorious you need to sink one of my destroyers... did you just not read the first post?
|
Captain Morevo
|
Furthermore, I already rolled and 11, so its your Move first.
|
Okie
|
Sub to E2
I don't intend to just run up and get killed , so evedently we are at a stalemate.
You'll notice that I said tactical win, as your order's are to hunt me down, my escaping would just be a tie but Then I would have sunk one of your merchant ship's and got away with it and would get an "at-a-boy" when I got home, you on the other hand would likely be charged with direlection of duty.

For what? the Admiralty would know exactly what I would know of the situation you fool, they know I can't just jump you, and they know that the statistics state that you have a categorical advantage in weaponry, youre being a coward, and I'm being strategic, because I know better than to just give you a free shot. I figure it goes something like this...
If I rush towards you "Yay" you get a free shot, but I still get to pop smoke, thus giving me a second chance, However If I lose initiative I basically give you a SECOND free shot with me having to pop smoke again, until I win initative AND not roll slow, I can't really get a chance at attack.
vs.
We play this straight, I come at you, you come at me, I drop charges, and if youre still alive, you fire your torpedoes.
So actually, youre being a snarky Kk, and I'm being a Smart LtCdr.
