Raddus Starhawk & MC75 vs Agate MC75 & Pelta

For this game, I brought Raddus on board the Starhawk with Concord and Magnites among other things. In hyperspace, I had an MC75 Ordnance Cruiser. On the other side, Andy also had an MC75 with Agate, a Pelta with Projection Experts, and a substantial rogue squadron component. I had bid, took first, and picked Fleet Ambush. I then ambushed him on turn 1:

In the first round, I waited out the MC75 and then activated the Starhawk to drop it to speed 0. After that, I nearly destroyed the MC75 with my own MC75. We decided to call the game at that point as I had the first activation and was prepared to finish Andy’s flagship and then block the Pelta in. It was a forgone conclusion. Here is the closing state which is much like the opening position:

We then decided to start over with my choice of remaining objectives. I picked Advanced Gunnery here is the opening of round 1:

In the first round, I simply approached with opposing fleet with my Starhawk. I wanted to close and eliminate both ships as quickly as possible to prevent the squadrons from chipping away at me. In the second round, I continued to maneuver and then I placed the MC75 at the opening of round 3. Unfortunately, I missed that picture. I placed my own MC75 in front of his, but in such a way as to shoot and move to intercept the Pelta. I was concerned to get it before it could move to the side of my fleet and escape. I failed to do justice to the strength of the MC75 tank and failed to properly use the Magnites to my advantage. Nevertheless, here is the opening of round 4 after my errors:

 Fourth round, I lost the Starhawk. The Pelta managed to inflict some fairly substantial damage on my MC75 before it also went down. Here is the opening of round 5:

In the fifth and sixth round, Andy was just barely able to finish of my MC75 with his fighters for a crushing victory. It was well played on his side and I failed to calculate the endurance of the opposing MC75 with Agate and Walex on board. It was also detrimental for me to make the Starhawk the objective ship. Had I made a flotilla the objective ship, I would have been better able to use my salvo tokens in conjunction with my regular flak and anti-ship shots.
