Re: *BOOM!!*

Dear Net gang:
  The sad part about the pulse torpedo attack is that when he rolled
damage dice 
for the attack almost (or was it all ) of the damage was 4, 5, 6.  I
watched the 
flag ship dissappear into rubble as the horde of PT took it apart. 
Frustrating. 
Of course the player on the left lost all but one of his ships.  The
next turn 
the second player lost all of his heavy cruisers.  His frigets with four
subpack 
however did a number on a couple of the KraVak ships.  The humans used
alot of 
fast ships with PT and subpacks to fight the Kra'Vak. We tried a take
out the 
big ships first strategy for the KraVak.  Maybe they will go to taking
out 
whatever is in front from now on.
