Unfortunately, in our push for squeezing out every possible kps of Speed, we short-suited many of our Fighter models on Range.

We'll need to get closer.

One of many notes for our next round of fleet design.

His stats are worthless, but the name alone is worth a combat modifier.

The cowards flee!

We pursue. Recall that the slow Invasion Transports are still exposed.

Will he just allow us to knock our yet another set of loaded Dropships?... our third?

The enemy continues to withdraw, and gradually draws away from the slower elements of our force.

That will quickly change the next time he reverses course.

If he continues to retreat too far we can wipe out the Invasion Force, and also the damaged ship that survived the battle with the Fortress of Doom.

I prefer the narrative that they are running away. After all, our main fleet has a lot of ships, and they have no idea what those classes can do in many cases.

The Marengo that was damaged and reduced to half-speed in the Fortress of Doom battle is also trying its luck.

If it really is out of missiles, then the Sabres should make short work of it.

As far as we know, the Marengo has only missile armament. Neither ECM nor any PD Lasers, for example.

One of our three Sabre squadrons peals off to intercept the Marengo.

Sabre Force 1 is 76 million km from intercept.

I guess we'll find out whether he has any missiles left.

Less than 10 million km to go.

I would guess that he's out of missiles.

Our opening shot is a penetrating hit, wrecking his last engine and immobilizing the Marengo.

Our second shot also penetrates.

This won't last long.

So much for THAT.

Will the Red 2 fleet turn around and respond?

We could have left that one immobilized for the boarding shuttles to pick up.

Until it fixed itself and killed our boarding party

I thought oif that.

But boarding parties do take casualties, and the real prize would be the Sarthe.
