I'd say so, Ljcvetko. The orders you sent seem demonstrate a good understanding of the strategies involved in the game. How they fair against other players will remain a mystery untill we have all the orders in...

Perhaps Doc is holding due to the "last in, first to fight" rule? It sometimes may be advantageous to fight first.

A question Jam. What is the build order?

For example, suppose a player wants to build bases and ships in the same round. Are his bases built before his ships or is it the other way around?

Does it matter? You don't get points from the bases untill the next turn anyways.

The original proposal was to just list they types and number of ships they had: eg
3 Fri, 4 Cru, 1 Bat

rather than

2 T-Fri, 1 F-Fri, 4 L-Cru, 1 F-Bat

Still, you are the only one who can make a judgement on the work involved vs the gameplay payoff.

Not knowing the fleets would add some more strategy though. If you don't know if playerX has 1 or 100 ships it would be more interesting when you attack and would make you plan an attack more than just looking for the player with the least ammount of ships and picking them off.

But then, number of ships doesn't really tell much either. Are 12 Fri really that much better than 3 Bat? Without knowing the sizes, the information on fleet sterength isn't going to help a great deal.

In other words, we may be able to cut the report on fleet strength altogether.

My thoughts exactly. No need to know what the other players have as far as firepower goes. Jam did say at round five there would be a "coucil" to ammend the rules too.

Round 1

Battles :

1st Battle of Shang - Smiley attacks Urban Ranger.

Smiley (OoB Fighter-Laser-Torpedo)
3x Laserbattleship
3x Fighterbattleship
2x Torpedobattleship

UR (OoB Torpedo-Fighter-Laser)
2x Fighterdreadnought
3x Torpedodreadnought

Urban's factories raced to produce ships as their enemies approached, finally churning out 5 new Dreadnought class ships to stand against the invading force of Smiley. As soon as the enemy was sighted, Urban's ships launched a vast wave of torpedoes, that raced across the kilometers separating the fleets. Smiley's Battleships scrambled their numerous fighters to defend aginst this menace, which they did easily, outmanovering and shooting down the torps, not one of which struck home, before racing over to attack Urban's fleet.
Urban's ships were getting hit hard by the fighters boiling over them
and responded by launching their own, sparking a massive dogfight. Unnoticed Smiley's ships reached laser range and opened on the clouds of fighters, friend or foe. In seconds all were destroyed, and the lasers spent the rest of their power on the Dreadnoughts of Urban's fleet.
There was a moment's pause. Urban's fleet was practically destroyed by this point, but Smiley's captains wanted to make sure, sending their own torpedoes racing towards Urban's ships. The expected laser response never materialised. Perhaps the fleet lacked laser weapons, but we shall never know as the entire navy was obliterated.

Urban is elimintated, and Smily gains the bases of Qin, Sha, Chou, and Chang

code:
Smiley Urban 9 Fig 12 Torp - Urban takes 9 Hits 9 Las 8 Fig - Urban takes 9 Hits 6 Torp 0 Las - Urban takes 6 Hits


1st Battle of Qin - Ludd attacks Urban Ranger

This time waiting to attack a weakened enemy was the wrong move, as Ludd's fleet could only watch Smiley occupy Urban's bases.
Shame.

1st Battle of Base3 - Duke attacks DrSpike

Duke (Fighters-Lasers-Torpedoes)
1x Fighterdreadnought
1x Torpedobattleship
1x Laserbattleship
1x Torpedofrigate
1x Laserfrigate

DrSpike (Torpedoes-Lasers-Fighters)
1x Torpedodreadnought
1x Laserdreadnought
1x Fighterdreadnought

Doc was expecting trouble and built a small but balanced fleet of his largest class of ships. The battle against Duke's attacking forces was almost a textbook draw. First Doc tried his luck with torpedoes, but Duke's fighters swarmed him and he hardly managed to launch any, and was attacked hard by the fighters, one of his dreadnoughts being destroyed by a kamikazi attack on the reactor. A brief exchange of laser fire brought neither side closer to victory, so Duke sent in his torpedoes, to be met by Doc's fighters in turn, who returned the favour by destroying both his frigates and badly damaging a laser-armed battleship. Duke threw a few bombs in the direction of Base3 and warped back home to lick his wounds.

code:
Duke Doc 4 Fig 4 Torp - Doc takes 4 Hits 4 Las 4 Las - No hits 4 Torp 4 Fig - Duke takes 4 Hits.


DrSpike loses 1x Torpedodreadnought, and Base3 is damaged(no BPs next turn)
Duke loses 1x Torpedofrigate, 1x Laserfrigate and a Laserbattleship is damaged(2)


Other orders

Everyone else was boring builders. Starmap and tables to follow.
