[Misc] Online again

Whoa,

What happened to the GZG list, I mean I have a son... go away for a while...
come back expecting to see lots of AAR and discussion on what games had been
played over the Christmas period and find that my "normality" has been
shattered! They where right having a child does totally change your life!

Thanks to all who sent their good wishes Mum and Baby are doing great 7 weeks
on. Sorry I have not replied individually but I got back to work last week and
had 2375 emails to wade through! (thank god I get the list by digest)

I managed to get in one game of FT over the period where my NSL fleet lost
convincingly to the FSE. We tried out some trial sensor rules and I miss
guessed where my opponents main fleet body was. The sneaky devil split out SDN
2*BC and HC as a flanking force which I thought was just escort vessels going
for an end run. Big mistake by the time I had got a good lock on them and
realised that the larger body I was closing on was just the escort vessels he
was able to smash aside my screening force and vaporise the depot then turn on
my main force from the rear. Never mind. It was the first time we had used our
modified sensor rules and I guess that I was a bit overconfident in thinking
that I knew what "I" would do
if "I" was attacking :-\ At least we had fun.

One high light was my Waldburg surviving two turns of three SM targeting it
and blowing a way a Milan all by itself only to fall victim to a single
Athena. From only 2 lost armour boxes to an expanding ball of gas in one
round. Its the little ones that get you every time :-)

Yeah, that will do it for you. Bad intel tends to screw up the best plans out
there.

I've had screwy things like that--FFs going berserk
and scoring 13 points of damage in a single salvo... from rolling 4 dice.
