Game 5 vs Grahams Chaos fleet:
Very briefly, Fleet engagement in the Halemnet system, 1000pts, I was the attacker and took the 'Eternal Night' Tombship who started on one pt of damage from the game vs Keith, a shroud class cruiser 'Shadow' and the Scythe class cruiser 'Empty Soul'.
Very close game, I pounced on two Chaos cruisers destroying one and forcing the other to disengage. I then proceeded to engage Graham's battleship and escorts, crippling the escorts and destroying the shield gens on the battleship with a lucky shot. However, by this point my tombship was crippled on 3HPs and disengaged and my shroud was crippled on 2HPs, not helped by two solar flares that damage all three of my ships on the roll of a six at the start of a turn, and Graham's massive range lance batteries from his battleship.
Graham disengaged and counting up VP's he beat me 314 to 300 - so close to seizing Halemnet!
The eternal night and Shadow were withdrawn for repair, while the Empty Soul was repaired to full HP's with my two repair points. I achieved my subplot (Fresh Captain) while Graham achieved his (Can't remember what it was). My renown went up by 4, so now stands at 44.
Have updated the roster in my first post.
