Subject: [HH] Bishop Takes Rook - Call for players
This is a call for players for another Honor Harrington webgame. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, this scenario involves whole ship squadrons (2 squadrons, anyway). To run properly, I'm after 7 players, but can adapt. It will be run using Vector movement with my ruleset found at: http://home.pacific.net.au/~southernskies/ft/honor.htm Also, all ship salvo's are combined (to ease bookkeeping and vector fatigue for players). Further details once I have players. Comments from the last game can be found at: http://users.mcmedia.com.au/~denian/ft/webgames/hh/hh_first.htm (I haven't shifted the data to the new site as yet.) The scenario is taken from Jerry Han's website, http://people.canoe.ca/jhan/ft/honor/ but preknowledge of the scenario will not be of much assistance, as I have changed several things (including forces) to supply fog of war & balance the forces using my rules. ***** Honor Harrington Scenario - Bishops Take Rook General Overview White Haven's final offensive against the Haven base around Tervor's Star kicked off two weeks ago. The withdrawl of Admiral McQueen from the Haven command staff at Trevor's Star has thrown the Haven staff in disarray, as McQueen has proven to be one of the few Haven Admiral able to match one of Manticore's best. Because of this, and because of White Haven's local forces superiority, it was only a matter of time before the system fell, giving the RMN control of the only terminus of the Manticore Wormhole Junction in hostile hands. During the one Haven attempt to reinforce the system, a Triumphant class battleship suffered an engineering casualty and fell out of formation approximately 2.5 million klicks from the hyper limit. White Haven has detached the Twelfth Battlecruiser squadron, to either capture or destroy the disabled battleship ***** Neath Southern Skies -http://home.pacific.net.au/~southernskies/ [mkw] Admiral Peter Rollins; Task Force Zulu [pirates] Prince Rupert Raspberry; Base Commander
