Space Opera - Test Games

[GrumpyMel]

Turn 50 sent. As the last year of the game approaches, I see the Galaxy has broken down into a general war for control of the Imperial Throne.

[Casus_Belli]

I have turn 50 and should get to it later today. Been busy at work.

[Casus_Belli]

Have we got stuck somewhere [:(]? Last thing I did was send turn 51 on the 17th.

[Tufkal2]

The turn has not reached me yet. Last turn I played was turn 50 on 7th March...
Best regards

[Casus_Belli]

I have resent turn 51 to Ian Powter's address, which has always worked before, so it's a mystery to me.

[Casus_Belli]

Lunaticus sent me this:

"Hi Casus_Belli,

maybe it is a time-zone thing? Alexandre lives in Brazil so for him the 16th might already be the 17th for you?
Best regards,
Nicolas"

And sure enough, he is correct. I received, played and sent turn 51 on the 17th. I have not received another turn since then.

[GrumpyMel]

House Cadwall Turn 52 played and sent on.

[Tufkal2]

Drako turn 52 sent out.
My apologies to everybody for having to reopen the turn. I started playing it late last night but did not get to finish.
Best regards,
Lunaticus

Cadwall turn 53 played and sent on.
 
It's turning into a real nail biter. The entire Drako Navy just showed up on my door-step, but with the time left in the game, will they be enough to make a difference?
 
I amazed we're going to finnish this one.... 5 players..60 turns... awesome job everyone!

[Casus_Belli]

Turn sent, sorry for a coupla days delay. A nail biter indeed, and great to belong to a group of like-minded obsessives. It's one of the best things about the net, being able to hook up with people who are interested in hex-games. I don't know anyone irl who is!

[Tufkal2]

Turn 54 sent.
I do not know if we will be able to stop House Cadwall (GrumpyMel) but at least we can give you a good fight for your money.

[GrumpyMel]

Turn 55 sent on to House Romanov.
 
You certainly would if the game went on longer. With only 5-6 turns left I'm not sure if you'll have enough to do so...but it's going to be very close.

[Casus_Belli]

Turn 55.
 
A massive attempted landing on Circe by DeCastillian forces has been repulsed with heavy casualties by Cadwalli fighters. Similarly, an attempt to occupy one of Cadwall's starbases has been stymied by a small but determined force assisted by psi(shoudl be psy)-ops units. We expect to occupy this starbase next turn, but it's bit like Omaha Beach there.

[Tufkal2]

Turn 55 sent.
6 turns to go

[GrumpyMel]

Turn 56 played and sent on to House Romanov.
 
Omaha Beach is right. It's a bloodbath up there, complete with heavy fire support from Drako ships. Turning back the DeCastillo landing forces could have been a crucial play.
 
Elsewhere, House Cadwall forces have made landings on the Sian-Chi homeworld of Tranquility, capturing 2 settlements there.

Turn 56 sent. Heavy battles on several fronts. Also the saboteurs are getting to be a nuisance.

As now turn 57 is the August turn I am assuming that there are still five rounds left to the game, right?

[Tufkal2]

Additionally: I hope I mentioned already that I think this is a great scenario. Very enjoyable as can be seen by the evidence of the second testgame now running over a year already and running.
Very much looking forward to an ATG version of this scenario. I think with the new editor features some nice things could be incorporated. Having the alliance feature by itself will make for very interesting new ways to play...

I can double check, but I believe December is the last playable turn. January simply declares the winner...I'll check the code when I get a chance and let you know for sure.

Turn 57 played and sent on to Romanov
