Uhmmm... Houston, we have a problem... I recently reinstalled Win10 and since then Vassal doesn't open any modules. I tried to fix this for the past few days, without any success. So either I can make all my calls without any measurement (comm noise just before the battle begins?) or someone should take over my forces until further notice...

I can command them until you’re available.

[LTD 2,241]

Or just give some general orders... up to you.

[LTD 2,241]

I'm having some trouble with maneuver orders - I ask all players to ensure that all "left" and "right" instructions are relative to the ship itself, not the picture.

Also, please make sure your ships do not overlap the tool when the move is finished.

Some players might like to review their moves - I have some people colliding with their own ships - not their team-mates, which might be understandable.

[Norell 1,198]

Jabba please do the commands then for me! I think the goal is to test the game method with the less interfering issues possible.

[LTD 2,241]

Ok, I think I've finished turn 1.

Here's the picture:

Here's the save file at the end of turn 1:

Here's the log file for most of turn 1:

Ok, send in your next set of orders.

Will the Rebels HA this turn, or no?

@The Jabbawookie, @Norell? I think it may be a good idea. At the leftmost one, behind the ISD.

[Bertie Wooster 1,857]

LOL @clontroper5 You literally tied down all four YT-2400s with one TIE Defender.

What happened to some of the Rebel YT-2400s though? There were 13 Rebel squads at the beginning of turn 1, and now there are 11 at the beginning of turn 2.

Sorry fellow Rebels, looks like there was a miscommunication regarding squadrons

I am curious just what happened to 2 of our YTs, though.

I have an idea I wish I could communicate.  Hmm...

Where do you live, if you don’t mind my asking?  (City level of specificity.)

[LTD 2,241]

2 YTs were destroyed by the Defenders that activated with a squadron order. If you watch the  log file you’ll see the rolls and all.

Well that explains it. Guess I should watch.

Rebels, we're waiting on HA decisions. 

[LTD 2,241]

You’ll notice that two defenders are gone as well.

I don't mind you asking, no. But I'm not really gonna answer. . .  Remote, and not where you live.

@GhostofNobodyInParticular

It's up to you about the HA - it's your ship.

Please indicate if you are dropping, and where.

Yeah, I'll drop it. At the left-most token, behind the ISD. I can't get ranges now, but I want it double arcing the rear at close range if possible, speed 3. Orient it toward the GSDs, at about a 45 degree angle. Tomorrow I'll upload an image of the modified log with the preferred placement, but hopefully this is enough for the others to get their plans/orders.

@clontroper5 Want to communicate squadron orders, or just "go for it"?

Let's divide it up at least between who's in charge of what. 

I haven't been been able to check the log file yet but tonight I will be able to fully update my orders. 

[GhostofNobodyInParticular 2,493]

@LTD: I'm now able to measure the ranges, and things were closer than I thought. As such, the vessel is now at speed 1, directly behind and facing the same way as the ISD and double-arcing it with both sides arcs.

So give commands to as many as you can as I won't be able too

[LTD 2,241]

Ok, here is the updated .sav file

I will command "your" TIE Defender that is nearest to my ISD Jeeves, and three of "my" squadrons. 

@clontroper5 If that didn't make sense, take a look here. You can give orders to these three blue squadrons.

@idjmv Turn as hard as you need to this turn; don't worry about hitting my ships.
