Graser test (IJN/UN technology resumed)

Today I tried a series of battles with a gamma ray laser (GRaser/GRazer)
armed  Yamato BB
using Oerjan's amended details ( I prefer to use the nomenclature
[L]ight, [M]edium and [H]eavy)
against 2 Heavy Cruisers -Vanderburgs-

The Cruisers were either a mix of standard Vanderburgs and
Vanderburg(T)s but for the majority of the fights they were the latter
torp variant.

We used vector movement and despite trying to keep the Yamato at long
range to use its hopefully longer ranged weapons. The cruisers still
creamed the Yamato and every encounter.

The consensus from the players was that the Graser was not an uber
weapon although IF it hits it can do a lot of damage, 18 points in one
salvo.

It will be interesting to try a full Battle group armed with Grasers.
