Battle Report: The First Battle of June (Part 1)

On Sunday, June 1st, 2014, four people gathered together to wage interstellar war.  Grafvonbarnez, Tom, Stevenik, and myself inflicted great hurt on each other via little Lego spaceships.  The table we used was only 4 ruler lengths long by 2.25 ruler lengths wide so we ignored the normal "terrain" placement rules.

The squadrons broke down as follows:
Tom (4 Tactical Assets & 7 Systems) = (5 Points per Asset) * (5 total Assets) = 25 Points
Me (3 Tactical Assets & 9 Systems) = (6 Points per Asset) * (4 total Assets) = 24 Points
Grafvonbarnez (4 Tactical Assets & 8 Systems) = (4 Points per Asset) * (5 total Assets) = 20 Points
Stevenik (4 Tactical Assets & 10 Systems) = (3 Points per Asset) * (5 total Assets) = 15 Points.

Tom started out as the Defender.  I was the Primary Attacker, and Grafvonbarnez and Stevenik were the other Attackers.

Here are pictures of the start of the game.

As you can see, we're all sort of arrayed in an arc facing Tom's ships which are in the lower left corner of the Side View picture.  Grafvonbarnez, in the upper left of the same picture, is at least arrayed to take on both Tom and Stevenik -- who is in the upper right of that picture.  I'm in the lower right side of the Side View picture.  Then the dice start rolling.
