Noam neglects to mention that at least half of those crippled
BBs had a lot of weapons left.	;-)  Only one had screens down
(which played a heavy roll in some of the NAC fire against
screen-active ships, when I rolled strings of 4s).

The NAC commander looked over the situation and realized there
was no way that he could escape (FTL shot out) and to continue
fighting, even against 4 crippled BBs, was folly (esp as mentioned
above, they still had a fair number of weapons available; also,
they were getting into the NAC BB's aft-arc). At least one of
the CLs managed to FTL out and contact the local NAC naval base
to advise them of the situation. The NAC may have lost the fight,
but there would be enough reinforcements sent out to deal with
the 4 ESU ships (assuming they stuck around for a while ;-).
