Round 12 - Dominion strikes


Chairman Sparrowhawk has taken Theben’s betrayal personally, because of his unconditional trust in the Kazon. But it was folly. He should have known that treachery is Kazon second nature.

Seething with anger, Sparrowhawk devised a plan of attack. The aim was to quickly punish the Kazon for their treachery and satisfy his lust for revenge. He lacked sufficient forces to carry out his ambitious plans however. The Trabe were weak and the Kazon were strong. So Sparrowhawk invited the Pralor AU leader SC to convince him to support the risky enterprise.

When SC arrived, Sparrowhawk quickly explained the details of his plan. SC immediately saw several major flaws in Sparrowhawk’s plan and rejected it promptly. He also noticed Sparrowhawk was emotionally unbalanced, so he tried to calm him. Eventually he succeeded and the attack was postponed for later date. A sound decision after all, not an irrational one governed by hate.


*******


Another sound decision was made by founder DrSpike. He saw a chance to establish order and attacked Kazon Pommar with nearly all the Dominion had.

Battle No.1: DrSpike attacks Theben
DrSpike: 11LT, 16FT, 8TT, 4FD, 11TD, 5FB, 2TB, OoB: FLT-TFL, back off, normal
Theben: 3LT, 4FT, 5TT, 3FD, 25LB, 11FB, 14TB, 1LC, 1FC, OoB: LLT-TFF, close in, normal

111F – 184L – DrSpike takes 73 hits
55L – 92L – DrSpike takes 37 hits
90T – 67T – Theben takes 23 hits

DrSpike loses all carrier battleships and dreadnaughts and four carrier titans. His fifth carrier titan is damaged. Theben loses his laser cruiser and 3 laser battleships and another one is damaged. The battle goes on.

90T – 67T – Theben takes 23 hits
60F – 67F – DrSpike takes 7 hits
110L – 67F – Theben takes 43 hits

DrSpike loses a fifth carrier titan and suffers damage to another one. Theben suffers total losses of 1 laser cruiser and 14 laser battleships and his fifteenth laser battleship is nearly destroyed. The Dominion suffered greater losses and is forced to withdraw. But these are losses the Dominion can afford. Given that all Dominion soldiers are cloned Jem’Hadar and Vorta, they are easily replaced.

Just so I am clear on what just happened.....

The Trabe are emotionaly unbalanced and the Pralor automated units are the clear and rational thinkers?

The Trabe wanted to attack and the Pralor called off the attack?

The former leader of the Trabe (Geo) left me his empire to rule in his absence?

(in case I am not being clear, the above posts are meant in mockery of my own earlier rant , and not meant as serious questions, though I think that Spaced and his Pralor Units were just as "upset" read: as the Trabe were, not sure who was the rational mind that decided not to attack ).

I now realize that like the game of Nuclear War (and Gladiator ), peace is the path to victory.

The dominion sent an emissary to see how informant Theben wanted to play the endgame in this conflict, but received no substantive response. We were thus forced to assume you harboured ill intent towards our peace loving nation.

1st of all, his Imperial Highness Theben of the supreme Kazon Empire is gravely offended by the notion that he or any of his subordinates had passed along sensitive information about their (former) allies plans. He points to the record of the Dominion in spreading disinformation and fomenting distrust amongst others in order to divide and destroy free peoples and lack of substantive proof of the allegations presented against us. In addition, we received undeniable verification of an imminent attack by Dominion forces regardless of your overtures of 'cooperation'. We had hoped the misunderstanding between our nations could be resolved peacefully, but took the necessary steps to thwart any acts of piracy and barbarism in our territory by rogue powers.

* Sparrowhawk trusted all allies......too completely it seems

Though Ljube's cryptic messages about the allies failure to attack as a alliance (3 times...once we hit a shield, once we attacked a deserted base, and once we got creamed by DrSpike) had me very confused (and I still am) about what we were doing wrong......perhaps one member of the alliance was a sabatour from the beginning?

Except I wasn't involved in the 1st attack, so don't blame me... although come to think of it,

quote: If two different opponents attack at the same time without informing the GM of their alliance, then the defender must fight them consecutively, fighting first against the one who posted their orders last.

Perhaps your so-called 'ally' purposely screwed up and made certain he posted 1st... so that you and I would soften up DrSpike while absorping all the damage, and then his fleet could fly in and destroy the remenants. Then he could say, "oops, I did it again!" even though after x number of attempts you'd think he'd have the concept down by now.
