In an effort to get this game moving again, have you guys started the Groth battle yet? I haven't seen any posts about it. I'm assuming you haven't. The following is based on that assumption. If you have, disregard the stuff below and let me know.

Let's try this one PBP (even a turn every other day is faster than the current rate Smile of game play). I'll take the Milita ships and the station. Here are my starting positions. (click on the image for the full size view) The ships are all moving at a speed of 10.

Milita starting positions

Locations:
Object - hex
Planet - 2820
Station - 2720
Frigate - 2826
AS1 - 2525
AS2 - 2526
AS3 - 2527

Tell me where you want the Sathar ships to start and I'll add them to the map.

Actually, we did several turns already...

Larry has an Excel spreadsheet with the positions on it.  The Fromeltar Militia have blasted one of his fighters (blew up after a fire) and he has hit 2 of the Assault Scouts hard and really messed up the Frigate.

I have all the stats for the battle.  Do you want me to post them here?

Okay,  I thought you guys had started it but nothing was ever posted.  You can post them or not, since you guys have started it, you can finish it off.  I was really just nudging the topic to see where things were at and playing around with some graphics.

The Battle of Groth is over.  The Fromeltar Militia is destroyed.  Beam battery fire roasted the Frigate and one Assault Scout as they tried to flee, and the other two Assault Scouts were hunted down and wiped out by Sathar fighters after being raked by beams.

BUT - the brave Dralasites managed two lucky Laser Battery hits from their Assault Scouts!  One lit a fire on a Sathar fighter, which then was consumed in the flames.  Another was cut in two just as the fighter was making an Assault Rocket run while chasing down the Assault Scouts.

Their noble sacrifice will be remembered forever by the plastoid citizens of Fromeltar and the whole UPF.

Overall, I would have like to have salvaged something, but hey - at least we scragged two Fighters!

And of course, isolated and alone, Armed Station Groth was surrounded and destroyed by Electron and Proton Beam batteries.
