DARKSTAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE: DUCHESS ANNABEL’S WAR IS OVER
Darkstar Live Blog !!
Hey, we’re finally getting ready for 640-point megagame in Darkstar, where the new Prussian pocket-battleshaip Von der Tann is getting sent out on her maiden voyage! Between turns I may start posting pictures and mini-bat-reps … almost like a Darkstar Live Blog!
A Prussian battlefleet faces off against a “Duchess Annabel’s” coalition of Chinese, Russian, and British warships! No carriers in this one, just a slugging match of heavy cruisers light cruisers, destroyers, and one pocket battleship!
Who do you think will win?!?!

First fire! K-98 corvette is horribly damaged, along with Prussian frigate Nordwind, heavy cruiser Petrograd (relatively light damage). UPDATE: K-98 corvette is crippled and knocked out of the battle in the opening volley! Nordwind rolled a 38% … and a 30 or below would have forced her to break off! so she BARELY stayed in!

Yes, Alex and his might battleship and light cruiser task force decided to put a significant amount of firepower on a pitiful little corvette!
Come on, man! PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE! 😀 😀
Did you think that Corvette would survive crossing one Matthew Gold? Remember the Franz Joseph. I like to think he made the railgun shell now lodged in your engine block from the melted remains of her hull.
This is true, that little corvette was definitely instrumental in the death of the Franz Josef last game. Still, so far we’ve basically traded one torpedo corvette for one EW escort frigate … So we’re winning so far …
This next fire phase is gonna be friggin’ EPIC, however!
I was rooting for that K-98! Still think allied have the edge.
That k-98 is deadlier than it looks. 12 torpedoes are dangerous to ignore, as I learned in the last game. Easy points to take out earlier before it starts to dish out damage.
