Tagge Victories & Arquittens vs Madine Liberties

This was a bit of a jank fleet match. I brought Tagge for the first time. I had a pair of Vic 1s with LFC, ExRacks, and LTT. In support, I had a pair of Arquittens, a Gozanti, and a light squadron cover. On the other side, Andy brought a pair of Exodus Fleet LMC80s with Madine as the Admiral. I had bid and picked second. Andy selected my Opening Salvo. Here is the start of round 1:



In the first round, I pushed my fleet up haphazardly to counter the thrust of the LMC80 on the right side. Here is the opening of round 2:



In the second round, I put some damage into the LMC80, but my damage output was so underwhelming that it shrugged it off. Andy was able to wait out my Victory before activating. He scored a massive hit that dropped the Vic to only 2 hull. Here is the opening of round 3:



In the third round, the LMC80 activated first and finished off the Victory without issue. It then went on to destroy my flagship Arquittens. I was then seriously out-activated. The other LMC80 was able to line up a nice close range shot on my second Arquittens and destroy it in the following round. We called it after that. Very solid win for Andy.

This was a bad matchup for my fleet. The LMC80s have no problem generating accuracies and none of my ships had ECM. Andy also did well to separate his fleet and perform something of a one-two punch—hitting hard with one ship on turn three and then knocking out the other Arquittens on turn four. I failed to use Tagge at all. Perhaps I need a more aggressive approach. We shall see next week.
