no, this isn't the AP test for government, I took that last monday...this is the final exam for the class....I really don't want to take this test. I wish Social Studies had the same policy as math....if you take the AP test, you don't have to take the final.

Oh I see now. Now, of the two, which do you think is/will be worse? :)

idk, I actually thought the AP test was fairly easy, and I know this one will be a little more comprehensive, but I can get like a 60% on it and still wind up with an A in the class.

A highly ineffective conn phase...

since it's literally impossible for either of you to hit the other (you both have -8 modifier which makes your max roll a 7), we'll just skip the tac phase, and move on....

Conn orders gentlemen.

Really? I think the Prometheus commander got exactly what he wanted which was time to split his ship without taking a huge amount of fire. The Norexan is left with two options. Warp to close or take a long slow trip towards them. Seems like a perfect tactical move to me.

In that case the word you are looking for is "unsatisfying". Getting clear, separating, and then engaging could yet prove to be very effective for one party or the other.

alright next conn phase is up....as I posted in the thread neither party can fire, again, so Conn orders for a third time.

no one remembers the name of the guys that won the battle through positioning instead of bombing :poke:

Oh, I don't know.

Them darn injuns sure are remembered for makin' mincemeat out of ol' General Custer.

And I'm sure that Seafort and Deep could name a few more :wink: Granted it's not as flashy, but still..........

How about the reverse slope of the ridge south of Mont St Jean, or Frederick's oblique order at Leuthen? :P
