Well, it went off with 5 players, which is pretty good. Setup was a triangle in the plane of the map and one group each directly above and below the center of the triangle (two d4s base-to-base). That put all of the fleets equidistant, which is a nice side benefit of 3D.

(I didn't get to play.)

Honestly, last week we had a few no-shows, so I’d show up or sign up and if there’s room I am sure that you would get a slot.

Yeah, I know. Wish I'd found out earlier--would have forwarded it to the list with enough time for people to sign up!

Would love to have attended, but I couldn't get clear answers from my brother-in-law regarding some of the week's activities that might demand my presence.

I got this email 5 hours ahead of the deadline. If these could be advertised a bit sooner, it might be easier to respond in time.

I look forward to an after action report.

Everyone gets two destroyers (Zhdiak DH, Elsyel DDL, PF Sloan).

Everyone's got a target before the scenario begins; the targets make a circle. When you destroy both destroyers of your target, you inherit their target.

If you fire on a ship that isn't *your* target, or the person *targeting you*, your weapons do half damage, rounded down.

Last ship standing wins.

Because this scenario is tuned for the number of players, we need a firm, will-commit-to-playing headcount by the end of Monday, 29 June
