Bug Book found lurking in rules tote.

20 March-

The Entomolian book for Galactic Knights is coming...but it is already here. Buried deep within the recesses of my rules/magazine tub I found the Entomolian supplement purchased in....2014.


 

 No matter:

With flight stands arriving imminently for my Gnat and Mosquito fighters and Barb missiles,  there will be a lot of chittering this week as I ready an invasion of Terran territory. 

 

The rebel, Terran player, Greg, has procured himself a CV and BC -----it will not save him! (Mainly because the scenario is a big cruiser and smaller ship scrum.)

We hope to be three on Friday, which should be two Terran players against the bugs. Roger and Greg will be the Terrans, I will try my hand on the Entomolian fleet.

6  Wasp  class destroyers, two Mandible class destroyer leaders and 5 Hornet cruisers, green and yellow overall colors as well as some fighters from an off table carrier will slam into the Terran fleet.  The rules say close quick and overwhelm....we'll see.

23 March-

Big plans for today. Mount at least 5 Barb missiles and remount all the fighters on stands recently acquired.  Operation Dry Run, set up an abridged version of the tomorrow's game and play through two or three turns at medium to short range.  Note to self----- Be sure to try out Entomolian missiles, fighters. 

 The Entomolian attack squadron.
 
 
 Part of the Terran Response Force, action took place near the astronomic phenomena called 'the rail chair.'

Sounds like a fun game to follow. I look forward to the battle report.
My Money is on the Green Hornet(s). Is one of the ship names Kato? (sorry, but I'm a child of 1960's TV shows)

Looking like it will be a fun game. Not sure about the Terran orders "Conserve squadron while aggressively destroying enemy." See a bit contradictory 😊

As to the orders, "have your cake and eat it too" are classic command double speak.
Barry, I had not named the bug ships yet, bur Kato certainly will be one of them.
