Default Re: Worst Combat Experience

Ouch.

Playing my first PBW game, it was a team game that was all out war. I had a black hole with 2 unstable warp points between me and an enemy homeworld. I build up a HUGE fleet. Must have had 20+combat ships. Moved through the first warp point. All my ships took some damage but it was all absorbed by the steath armour. What I didn't realize was that my repair ship that was with the fleet had it's crew quarters and bridge destroyed. Now, with only one movement point TO THE ENTIRE FLEET, I didn't realize the situation until I got the report on the next turn that every ship had been destroyed by "natural causes".

2 things, always look through an entire fleet and make sure that armour repair is not higher priority than bridge.
