2009 PBEM Trillion Credit Squadron Tournament

Maybe I'm confused (Or remembering the wrong rules) but I thought you could only jump with refined fuel...

So the ship wouldn't feel right without the purification equipment.

You can operate without refining raw fuel (skimmed or dipped, or bought) but you run the risk of drive malfunctions (maneuver, jump, and powerplant) and misjumps.
 
Hi all.

I'm here and I'm still planning on running this. It will be a couple of weeks before I can start due to family/work/organizational issues.

I will be running a Car Wars game at a convention in PA on MLK weekend. You guys don't care about that, but... you should know that "The Oz" will also be there running Power Projection and 3D Ad Astra Games stuff. If any of y'all are in driving distance, please come.

Oh... and if you can send me your basic tactical instructions, that will be great. The rule will be... on any turn I will make the best decision I can based on what your "doctrine sheet" says. If I'm doing something wrong, you let me know after you get your sitrep-- but we'll keep the results of each turn in spite of such "mistakes". This represents an additional fog of war issue... besides making it easier to run several concurrent games.

I must confess, I am not sure what you want on the "doctrine sheet". Can you give me an example, please?
 
Stuff like "target all weapons on the largest ship unless I say otherwise" and "take weapon criticals from the sandcasters first... then lasers... then missiles" and "move damaged carriers and fighters to the reserve for repairs and bring them back in when they have x y and z fixed."

Anything that would help me play your fleet the way you'd want me to.
 
Jeff,

Had to take my personal computer to the shop and my business computer does not have HGS loaded. Can you send my Fleet's HG stats via PM, please?

Then, I can get my Standing Orders to make sense :)
 
I have ships and orders for the Sloepigg, the Polaris, and the Dagger III.

I'm going to set up games for these ships first... as people get back in, I'll "launch" additional combats in some semblance of a fair way-- keeping everyone playing that can. Starting a combat and calculating the basic rolls takes longer than running one, so combats will "trickle" in-- I'll only launch new duels if I think I can handle the paperwork.

I think we'll go ahead and lock down new designs and design revisions for now.

Basic tactical orders are welcome (from those that haven't sent them yet.)
 
Guys,

I have been on the phone with tech support for hours every day, working late, etc. while coping with an unexpected escalation of personal crises.

Things explode and/or collapse every time I begin to think I have a moment to work on this game.

I apologize for being so much later with this than what I wanted. I'm not ready to quit... but I will have to be much more aggressive in commandeering the necessary "breathing room" to execute this tournament. Sorry for the delay. Looks like I have to actually *schedule* time to do this. (That's not how I normally operate....)

Hopefully I can begin moving soon.
 
No worries here Jeff (especially as I still somehow haven't managed to put together tactical orders to send you, I keep getting as far as "bark and chase" and then being distracted ;)

Besides there's a full 11 months of 2009 left to fit this in :D

No worries, Jeffr0. As much as I enjoy Traveller, real life always takes precedent. You take care of what/who you need to take care of, and we'll be here when get the time. I hope you don't mind if I say a prayer for the resolution of your crises, whatever they may be.

Best Regards,

Bob W.

No worries, take your time. It is a game after all, you should do this when it would be fun, not a chore.
 
I may be interested in joining if I get the time, just send the squadron and orders to your gmail, If I get around to it before your next round. (If so, it'll be my first time playing much with either HG or TCS, so you all should have an edge. :P)
 
There is a complete sample game earlier on in the thread so you can see what you're getting into, Death....

You're welcome to join in-- especially if you don't mind waiting on Jeffr0-of-the-frantic-tech-support-explosion to get things together. ;)
