Does everyone have a physical or digital copy of the Knight Hawks battle map?

The sample map I have uploaded to this site is almost the biggest size file I can upload here

Anyone up for a practice run, pick a ship.

First come, first served!  Only 2 Sathar ships, everyone else is either UPF or Militia

What time did you want to play?

In reply to Shawn Johnson (msg # 4):

No set time, play by post.  Real time play sessions are not practical considering time zones.

In reply to GM (msg # 5):

"Task Force Commander, the Yuppie scum forces are light. ONe station bearing 270 exactly, distance 25 hexes. They have an assault scout and a frigate, both Yuppie Navy. There are a pair of local militia assault scounts but they are so far away as to be unlikely to be able to engage us. What are your orders?"

"Make our speed 12. Leave our masking screens and stasis screens disengaged for now; we need a clear shot with our lasers and I don't want to attract any of their guided weapons. At our closest approach fire EVERY WEAPON WE HAVE at the station, making a turn to port if need be but I suspect we can get a gravity assist for that. We should have a nice head-on shot at effectively point blank range. Energy weapons may fire defensively at the Yuppies, but only to the extent that they don't interfere with targeting the station."

"And after we make our run?"

"Our speed should carry us out of most of their defensive fire; we'll make a turn and set up for either another pass at the station if it remains, or we may take the opportunity to destroy the UPF ships. Let's see how the Yuppies react before I decide."

"It will be done, Commander."

(OOC)
OK Robin has command of the SAV Perdition.  I am going to command the UPFB Doliin Bay

I am changing the ships around for the start up, it made no sense to have the Militia at the edge and the UPF next to the station and planet.

So this is the Starting Set Up

Sathar deploy anywhere on right edge of the map at any starting speed.

Militia Assault scouts within 2 hexes of the planet at starting speed of 5

UPF ships anywhere on the left edge of the map at any starting speed.

In reply to GM (msg # 7):

"Err, Commander?"

"Yes, what is Scan?"

"There seems to be some sort of interference with my sensors, causing a mis-identification. The vessels near the planet are in fact local militia, and the far ships are the Yuppie Navy. Still working on getting a fix of their positions, headings, and speeds."

"Grrrrr.... we'll attribute it to interferance or possibly some sort of ECM. See to it that you don't make that type of mistake again, Scan, or it will go... poorly... for you."

"Yes Commander!" *salutes*

Victory Conditions

Sathar have to kill the station and at least 3 other ships.

If the UPF can kill the Heavy Cruiser, that Destroyer is not gonna hang around.

In reply to GM (msg # 9):

OOC, shoulding Dolin Bay have 80HP instead of 25?

In reply to Robin Hood (msg # 10):

And a rocket battery with about six salvos in the magazine?

In reply to Robin Hood (msg # 11):

Those are the stats from the basic game scenario, it doesn't really matter for this scenario.  As a practice game it's more about figuring out how to run combat via the various web sites instead of face to face

In reply to GM (msg # 12):

"Stiletto to ZGata. Unless you think otherwise, I'm taking this ship to full thrust and making for that Worm heavy cruiser. He is the key to them wiping that station. We'll hit him with every thing we've got as long as we can."

"Okay lieutenant, full acceleration. Make your course for that cruiser best possible speed. We need to line up that assault rocket on target and then prepare to swing around for another pass. Those militia vessels can't hang for long."

Ooc: full adf, target Perdition. Weapons fire as they enter range.

Let me know if I've got this right.

When we set up the map will need your starting speed and also starting hexes for all ships but looks all good so far.

In reply to GM (msg # 14):

If we don't have the original map... is theree a way for us to tell you what hex our counter is on on the OFFICIAL map? I don't think I can zoom in on the map here in RPOL.

When I post maps here on RPOL, depending on where ships are on the map, I will crop it down as small as possible.  If the numbers still cannot be read then I will put those hex numbers into a text update.  Alternately, depending on how things play out on Roll20, we might be able to use screen shots from there.  Until I have fooled around with Roll20 more I am not sure if we can use it to do more, still making this up as we go :)

In reply to Robin Hood (msg # 15):

Sorry, assumed it was the speed  that was originally assigned the militia shops before they traded places. Speed 5 initial.

Are the maps downloadable?  And if so, where are they?

I think the only way t get maps from Roll20 into anywhere else would be via screenshots.  Was there something specific you were after?
