Head to Head Sector Assault Turn Logs Stardate 0710.14

Victory as the Imperial Klingon Fleet finally smashes Federation lines...

As predicted, the loss of half of the Federation fleet ended up crippling
them. The Second Federation Fleet (FCA USS Washington FCA USS Independence
FCA USS Montgomery) arrived at System 4 and were met by a Random Klingon
Fleet of five heavy cruisers and were easily destroyed. That Klingon fleet,
joined as the Third Klingon Fleet and began to build a shipyard while
waiting to be joined by the Second Klingon Fleet. At the same time, the lone
Federation shipyard attempted to rebuild a fleet, but repeatedly got beaten
up by random Klingon fleets happy to go to StoVoKor trying to destroy FSY1
(the Federation Shipyard).

As the Second Klingon Fleet marched from system to system, it encountered
two black hole accretion discs and small Federation fleets. Quick, easy
passage, no need to build shipyards. After bringing the Federation Random
Fleet Disadvantage down to -4, the combined Imperial Klingon Fleet of ten
ships pushed through the heavy asteroid field protecting the Fed shipyard in
System 5, and took it down easily. That was it till Miller Time.

As for lessons learned, well, the Feds had an equal shot here. It was mainly
determined by lucky rolls for a Klingon convoy that gutted the Federation
Fleet. I also played that convoy pretty aggressively. I made an effort to do
the same with a Fed convoy, but it came off way differently. I can't say for
sure if I played them evenly. But I also know that the rolls made the
difference in each case, At the same time, I'm pretty happy with the system
for integrating space terrain. I'll play it through again soon to give that
system a further playtest. Here are the final turn logs:
