AAR-selected bits from a bar brawl
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 3:55 am
Well kids, if you wanted to know what a cage match using CV looks like, look no further. My opponent, Boerwar, and I decided to use the vary setup option for added spice. We recieved OPERATION INFIELD, and the ensuing melee took place. These are selected parts of 12-7, 12-8, and 12-11.
December 7: I watch in amazement as his CV launch on PH while my CV are sitting next to him. My CV then decide to see who is minding the store.

Now, I figured I had come out decently, hoping to put some of his CV out of action for a while, while losing the Lex..I could live with that. But, the Enterprise got wind of the sinking, even though I had kept her out of the way until now. I was stunned to see him still near PH this late, and got caught trying to sneak into PH.
