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?

[Lt. Staplic]

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.

You're telling me

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.

[Lt. Staplic]

well highly ineffective from the watch things go boom standpoint.

[Captain Seafort]

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.

[Mark]

Thank you Big. You've grasped my tactics

[Lt. Staplic]

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

[Captain Seafort]

Definitely unsatisfying. Start shooting you buggers!

[Mark]

Proper field position has won more battles than bombs 8)

[Lt. Staplic]

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

[Mark]

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 Granted it's not as flashy, but still..........

[Captain Seafort]

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