All weapons back on the Koganusan, charge the jump drive to follow it.

Oh? Given up on trying to ensnare another of us?

Same old same old, run, gun, repair damaged Point Defense

Turn 13

Spoiler: Crunch (click to show/hide)

The Koganasun's Jump Drive reaches a crescendo as beams of light crisscross the vessel, the point defence gunning down the incoming missiles and the Mandator's batteries burning deep holes in the battleship's center. The single working point defence takes a direct hit just as it scores a missile hit of its own. The missile spirals past the vessel, the single working thruster sending it completely off target as repeated hits from the Mandator shred the Koganasun's innards and leave clouds of superheated plasma as the ship winks out of existence.

Reappearing well Short of the intended destination, the Koganasun emerges sideways and rolling as the disrupted jump imparts an uneven force across the vessel due to the drive being damaged at the instant.

I would like to once again fire on the Ayes with all weapons and jump as close as I can to the Koganusan once more.

I'm sorry, but we are not accepting foreign surrenders at this time. Please feel free to resend your request for a surrender at a later date when applications are once again open to the public.

Fire Missiles at the Mandator. Prepare jump to get to extreme range in relation to the Mandator.

Jump again as far from Mandator as possible (This is Long I think? Don't have the rules open), DC to damaged Reactor

Reminder, you can jump straight to allied ships. So you can jump to me.

I don't believe that that's how that works. If you were in jump range there would be no interference in jumping straight to you, whereas there IS interference trying to get to Melee range on an enemy.

Having a friendly somewhere is not a jump-there-for-free card, luckily for me.

....You know, I just realized something. Something Critically Important.


Madman, you rolled 5 fives when striking me that last round. This let you drill through one of my Jump Drives.
Now here's the thing: 5 is my lucky number. What the heck 5? You're supposed to be on my side! Madman, stop being a luck vampire!

It's a sign. It means you should surrender.

Blessed are they with the multitude of firepower, for they shall eventually hit everything they aim at, and murder it most righteously.

Turn 14

Spoiler: Crunch (click to show/hide)

Continuing its crusade of revenge for the Snail, the Mandator's weapons turn back on the Ayes just as it put the finishing touches on the crippled Jump Drive. The point defence is destroyed by the very missiles it attempts to neutralise as the lasers once again crumple the Ayes's shield. Whilst a few less hit than expected, they still crash across the full length of the vessel damaging the last working laser array, and destroying both a reactor and an impulse drive, putting the ship into a power deficit that prevents the engineers from powering on the newly operational drive.

Talking of Drives, the Koganasun's chief engineer works furiously to produce new Jump solutions, but every time one is inputted, the Mandator quickly fouls the path as it retargets to close the distance. The sole operating Drive just can't work fast enough compared to the dual system on the Mandator. He informs the captain of the grim news. All he can do is slow down the inexorable advance of the BLU Battleship.
