A pretty neat view of the Marches.

Quite cool! Makes me want to enforce the "gotta jump to a system not empty space" rule.

What software did these maps, it's not something TravellerMap can do is it?

I'm not sure how the maps were made. They were on a traveller Facebook group

I've got the play worked out, but it's going to be a longer post and other things are happening in both my personal and game life so I'm being slow getting anything all out right now. Please, bare with me.

Update: It took almost three hours to write those two posts! I had it worked out in my head, but getting it down in a semi-coherent fashion was hard work. Don't expect many more plays by Gebert & Sulleman.

I'll be away gaming this weekend (Waterloo) and taking in a (Wargames) show back Sunday.

I will be away with a army buddy of some [cough] 40 odd[/cough] years. First time face to face since working at Tripler hospital in Hawaii. All day Friday and Saturday.

[Eris]

Both of you have a good time!

Donovan will engage with the pulse laser as soon as the missile is in range.

Better say that in the game area.

Have scads of fun. We'll try to keep the ship in one piece while you're gone.

LOL! I saw it. I was debating on whether to act on it or not, though.

This the first time Computer Operations have come into play for you guys. You've only got 4 program slots and some PC has to be in the Computer Room to swap programs in and out!

Zaki to the Computer Room!

Rough later half of the day; I aspirated a tiny bit of nuts and had lots of trouble. I'll be ok but will probably post later in the day.

Hope you're okay.

I had a MRI today on my prostate. Turns out I'm more claustrophobic than I thought I was. I made it through the 30+ minutes in the machine, but it was touch and go a few times.

Early in my ALS condition I had to do an MRI. It was claustrophobic but what bothered me the most was that my breathing was already degraded and I couldn't bring my breathing assistance into the chamber with me. It was an exercise in yoga breathing for both the claustrophobia and the breathing itself!

I hope the MRI results are what you want!

I hate those things. It's like being stuck under a house.

For me it was like being stuck in a culvert.

When I was 6 or 7 a ball rolled into a culvert between the road and the drive at my Grandmother's house. I shimmied into the culvert and got the ball, but my pants got caught on something and I couldn't shimmy forward to get out. I couldn't turn around to go back and I started to panic. I shimmied backwards and made it back far enough where my feet were out. My cousin pulled me the rest of the way after laughing for what seemed like several minutes. Terrifying! The only nightmares I ever have are similar situations...but still I didn't really consider myself claustrophobic. I'm okay in elevators, rooms without windows, and so on, but that MRI! It was toooo much like that culvert. I couldn't go forward, couldn't go back, couldn't sit up, couldn't turn around...being told to stay perfectly still for 30+ minutes. Shudder!

I might need to change DM's a bit. Each round is about 10 minutes and encompasses several shots by the lasers from the turrets. I'm thinking targets need to be a little easier to hit...not a lot, but maybe 1 point easier at all ranges.

We are waging our "war" with what is surely the most basic of "warships" (actually computers) so the difficulty may be about right. You could make the tracking DM cumulative per whole turn of tracking or firing i.e. one turn tracking then one turn firing = +2 only on that target next turn. (So no retconning required as we are).

So the first missile will likely get hit by a defending turret eventually but good luck with the second and third!
