Battle Report: Alien Planet

I've had a couple of ideas for new table-settings in the pipeline for a while.  This is the debut for one of them.

Me (3 Frames & 12 Systems) = (7 Points per Asset) * (5 assets) = 35 points.  (The Draz)
   Blue Defender -- 2B/1G+d8/1Y/2W + SSR.
   Red Defender -- 2B/1G+d8/1Y/2W + SSR.
   Grey Defender -- 2B/1G+d8/1Y/2W + SSR.

Occam's Spork (4 Frames & 16 Systems) = (5 Points per Asset) * (6 assets) = 30 points.
   White Spotting Bodyguard -- 2Rd/2Rh/1B/1Y/2W +SSR.
   Blue Spotting Bodyguard -- 2Rd/2Rh/1B/1Y/2W +SSR.

   Red Spotting Bodyguard -- 2Rd/2Rh/1B/1Y/2W +SSR.
   Orange Recon by Fire -- 2Ra+d8/2Y/2W.

PJ_Nichts (5 Frames & 19 Systems) = (3 Points per Asset) * (7 assets) = 21 points.  (Branson's Raiders)
   Red Tank -- 2Rd+d8/2B/2W.
   Green Hammer -- 2Rd/2B/1Y/2W + SSR.

   Orange Fast Brawler -- 2Rh+d8/1B/1G+d8/2W + SSR.
   Blue Fast Brawler -- 2Rh+d8/1B/1G+d8/2W + SSR.
   Yellow Fast Spotter -- 1G+d8/2Y/2W.


This is what the table looked like at the start of the game.














Events of Turn 1 (DDC @ 11): My Grey frame captures PJ Nicht's Black Station before the game starts.  PJ Nicht's Red frame hits my Blue frame for 1 and my Blue frame moves up beside their Black station.  PJ Nicht's Green frame hits my Blue frame for 2 in response.

Me: 42 points.
Occam's Spork: 30 points.
PJ_Nicht: 18 points.




Events of Turn 2 (DDC @ 9): My Blue frame hits PJ Nicht's Yellow frame for 2.  Occam's Spork's Red frame hits my Grey frame for 1, Station Dance.  My Grey frame then hits PJ Nicht's Yellow frame for 1 in response.  PJ Nicht's Green frame hits my Grey frame for 1.  PJ Nicht's Red frame hits my Grey frame for 4.  PJ Nicht's Blue frame hits my Blue frame for 4, destroying it, recapturing their Black Station, then moves up beside my Dark Blue Station.  PJ Nicht's Orange frame hits my Grey frame for 6, destroying it, allowing their Blue frame to capture my Dark Blue station.

Here's a couple of aftermath pictures.



Thoughts & Observations:
  • This is what happens when you bring the wrong squad to a game.
  • We were originally set for five players but had two drop out.
  • I really made a hash of my notes.
