We had 635 points each with myself being Terran and him being Directorate. We also picked different lists. We both had two frigate squadrons and one cruiser squadron but in his case he got another cruiser squadron and two heavy cruisers while I got a battleship and three escorts.
No scenario was picked, just a planetoid with some asteroids. Through most of the first part of the game, he got initiative.
My ships lobbed missiles at long range for the first turn for minimal damage but he closed in fast.
Then he started picking on my cruiser squadron which was damaging but allowed my battleship and frigates to get in good positions for damaging more ships. There was a point where he had several cruisers and a heavy cruiser aft of my battleship and tried to capture it but with two escorts left and no damage to the battleship it was apparent he should have fired more to reduce my crew and PD size. Eventually once my cruisers were gone I concentrated on his heavy cruiser squadron and admiral's ship, then proceeding to reduce his cruiser forces.
We realized that frigates, in particular Terran ones, were deadly to the medium capitol ships at long range. His directorate frigate squadrons were good at taking out my frigates or conducting damaging attacks on my capitol ships.
A really good game and I squeaked out a major victory. Until next time Directorate!
