Y166
"A Lyran fleet from the Red Claw Duchy was patrolling along the edge of the Graygor Asteroid Field which formed part of a border with Kzinti space. One of the ships picked up several warp signatures from within the field and decided to investigate. The Lyran captain hurriedly sent the alarm to his comrades when he discovered a Kzinti ship was trying to penetrate the field. By the time the rest of the Lyran fleet arrived, so did the rest of the Kzinti."
INITIAL SETUP:
Terrain:Use the standard tournament map with an asteroid field (see below). You could also use the asteroid field map from module S2
Lyran forces: CA (F) in 0327, DD (G) in 0328, DD (J) in 0119, FF (H) in 1615, and an FF (I) in 1329 . WS-III, heading B, speed max.
Kzinti forces: CC (A) in 3702, FF (B) in 3710, FF (C) in 2710, FF (D) in 2801, and an FF (E) in 3802. WS-III, heading E, speed max.
LENGTH OF SCENARIO: The scenario continues until all forces belonging to one side have been destroyed, captured, or have disengaged.
SPECIAL RULES:
Map: The map is fixed; it does not float. Any unit leaving the map has disengaged and cannot return.
Shuttles and PFs: No shuttles have warp booster packs. There are no fighters or PFs. MRS shuttles may be purchased, up to the limits in J8.5, as commanders options.
Commander's Options:
1. Each ship can purchase additional or special equipment up to 20% of its combat BPV. See S3.2 for details and exceptions. All Kzinti ships receive an additional 10% to spend for drone improvements/purchases only.
2. All drone speeds are "slow," speed 8. Type II, IV, and V drones are available for purchase as special drones. Medium speed drones are available as restricted items. Each drone armed ship can purchase special drones up to the historical percentages as part of Commander's Option items (see FD10.6).
Note: The Lyran ship BPV is reduced by one for each ESG due to the lack of ESG capacitors.
Refits: None of the ships have received refits. The Kzinti C-10 refit can be purchased as a commander's option. The Lyran "+" and UIM refits can be purchased as commander's options. No other refits are available during this time, to include the Lyran ESG capacitor refit.
What do I have to have to play? Of course, you will need a copy of the basic and advanced rules, Module C1, and the SSDs. You also must have a good email address.
What rules will be used? Generally, every rule (with errata) will be in use, except those listed as "optional." Hidden mine placement will be used.
Who gets what ship? Each player who is interested in playing should mail me and let me know what ship you would like to command. Now, I understand that several players will end up wanting the same ship. So, to prevent arguments, not only will you be required to provide a primary choice, but you will also be required to provide a second, third, fourth, and fifth choice in your request. First come, first serve. Whoever sends their request first will be locked-in with their first choice. Everyone else will get their second choice (or third, or fourth) as I receive them. So make your decisions wisely. Remember, none of these ships have refits! Also state if there are any ships that you do NOT want to command.
Where are the asteroids? The following asteroids are the center hex of a 7 hex asteroid cluster: 0207, 0402, 0412, 0707, 1014, 1203, 1308, 1707, 1811, 1903, 2206, 2315, 2604, 2608, 3207, 3304, 3311, 3607, 3714, 3905, 3908, 0419, 0423, 0626, 0723, 1019, 1028, 1122, 1719, 1724, 2022, 2027, 2418, 2529, 2621, 3023, 3118, 3328, 3421, 3918, 3929, 4122.
The following asteroids are single hex asteroids: 0418, 0603, 0906, 1105, 1109, 1213, 1507,1515, 1704, 1813, 2204, 2313, 2606, 2712, 2809,2814, 3109, 3405, 3509, 3512, 3704, 3712, 4109, 0421, 0725, 0820, 0924, 1026, 1124, 1528, 1825, 1918, 2025, 2217, 2221, 2421, 2424, 2728, 2824, 2919, 3323, 3527, 3920, 3923, 4128.
The asteroids fill the entire hex. There are no large asteroids. These asteroids will be used in accordance with rule P3. A graphic of the asteroid map will be posted on my web site.
