Black Hole Replay, Final Turn 6 |
Joe is down to one HEV, and no bases. He launches a series of SMUs at the nearby MPV, but it is futile. Blue lasers his final unit into vapor in his segment, and that's the game.

Comments (Joe): Badly outgunned, I have little choice left. I move out of the way of the incoming missiles and take another shot with my remaining HEV-M. I try using 3 SMUs. If I'm lucky, I'll take out the MPV I'm aiming at before I run out of missiles. Denied. I just got a disruption out of it. I should have gone with fewer but stronger missiles... but it really didn't make a difference by this point. Blue just took me out, ending the game. A blissful end to a painful game! I rolled poorly, and made some bad choices. Losing units on landing is just a waste, but forgetting to move out of the way of incoming missiles is just stupid, and I paid the price.
Comments (Walt): The HEV is toasted in the Laser Fire phase. Good game.
Blue Casualties:
White Casualties: 1 HEV
Victory was Blues' at 131 to 84. Not as close as last game.
Things to try again: Jump Movement of PSVs, which can come as a nasty surprise. Firing around the Map Edge. Multiple Shots with smaller missiles sometimes is a good tactic. USE mountains, especially if you have HEVs on the board. And above all... be lucky!
Things not to bother with: Firing missiles into jump. Staying near bases early in the game, despite the VP cost.
Suggested changes to the gamebox: Perhaps to add an "In Jump" marker or counter tray to clarify JUMP status.. otherwise, this gamebox allowed us to play the game pretty much as it was designed.
