FT AAR - Operation Furious Riposte - 20,000 pt battle

A fictional after action inquiry into the results of a 10K pt KV force
meeting about a 9K+ NAC force.

It probably doesn't say in the AAR, but we used vector movement,
Schoon's KV rules, Schoon's KV designs, mostly FB designs for NAC ships
(I did my own ortillery monitors, assault ships, and escort cruisers for
the Israeli CVA but otherwise it was standard). Used Indy's fleet lists
and a battle of Jutland book for ship names. The Israeli ships mostly
came off the Brigade website.

I let fighters screen fighters. I resolved mass fighter dogfight fire
simultaneously rather than conga line fashion. We used random card draws
for firing order, including some admiral's priveledge mixed into the
deck. I think the admirals were KV: level 3 (3 cards extra in the deck),
a level 1 and a level 2. The humans were an even (no cards), a level 1,
and two level 2s.

We used ship morale (I think the Haifa was trying to hyper out as a
result of morale failure when it went up) and fighter morale (which hurt
after the scatterguns). We used core systems and most of the standard
game rules. We wimped out on sensors and lock-ons given the scale of the
conflict. Fighter types were off of Indy's list (hence no torpedo
fighters, much lamented by the NAC).

Anyway, the accounting, in a reasonable format I hope, is presented as a
piece of fiction. Their is an OB at the end. I think it fails to mention
the KV's 13 groups of KVish heavy fighters, but otherwise should be
accurate. I think at the last minute we left out the 2 Shafrir's on the
Israeli side, but they were just assault landers.

Let me know what you think, and if you want you can email me offlist...
don't want to be a worse list clutter-er than needed.

BTW, Happy Y2K! Hope the listserv is Y2K compliant.... :)
