catalyst2Had my second "serious" game of Dystopian Wars last night and enjoyed the game again.
This was 1000 points vs Noddy's EoTBS fleet against my CoA fleet. I was excited because I got to use my Dreadnought for the first time and I made it the focus of my fleet because I gave it two escorts and a full five-fighter CAP.
I won the game (although we had to call it early but Noddy only had his battlehsip and sky fortress left whereas I had only lost two bombers and four frigates. Noddy's painted fleet looked really good - I really have to get A into G and paint my soon!
Early turns were indecisive until my bombers caused utter mayhem with two devastating mine runs which took out (over two turns) 6 frigates and two gunships. My Dreadnought barely got into action but it did take out some corvettes (eventually - hitting on 6's only is not easy, even with all the firepower of that monster) My battleship caused a little mayhem though - destroying two frigates, reducing a squadron of dive bombers to one plane after some devastating AA and holding off Noddy's battleship and and sky fortress simultaneously.
Fun game, but I hadn't realised just how much the 1.0 and 1.1 rules differed so it took a while to adjust to that. Also, Break Tests seem ridiculoulsy easy to pass so either Noddy and I were both reading it wrong and that's just not expected to be such a significant part of the game. Either way, I need to really read the 1.1 version of those rules to make sure I get it right next time.
P-W-L-D record
CoA: 2-2-0-0
