Tagge ISD & Arquittens vs Mothma MSU

For this game, I brought Tagge on board the ISD2 (with Local Fire Control), a pair of Arquittens (one with Hand of Justice), a Gozanti, and medium squadron coverage. On the other side, Andy brought Mon Mothma with Foresight, Admonition, a pair of Torpedo Hammerheads, a Scout Hammerhead, Slicer Storm, and light squadron coverage. He had bid, took first, and selected Fleet In Being. Here is the opening of round 1:



In the first round, I moved in up cautiously, planning to focus on the pair of MC30s. Andy kept Foresight in the rear and brought the Hammerheads over as fast as possible. In the second round, he was able to move Admo in to double-arc my right flank Arquittens. Here is the opening of round 3:



In the third round, Admonition destroyed my Arquittens and jumped over to threaten my second Arquittens. Here is the opening of round 4 (sorry it’s blurry):



In the fourth round, Admonition hit the remaining Arquittens and jumped away, Foresight jumped into position to finish my Arquittens, and I failed to bring down Foresight with my ISD. Here is the opening of round 5:



In the fifth round, Andy finished my Arquittens with Foresight and then escaped danger. My ISD dropped two Hammerheads and then closed with the last Hammerhead. Here is the opening of round 6:



In the final round, Andy activated the Hammerhead and escaped my front arc. He also passed on the opportunity to shoot the ISD thanks to Salvo. Game over. Andy had substantial activation advantage and used it to good effect. Mothma was very effective on his side while Tagge once again failed to provide any benefit to me, though Fleet in Being was nice. My ISD was still in great shape at the end of the game. The Salvo token combined with SW-7s provided consistent damage and later disincentivized Andy from focusing down my flagship. The Arquittens did not fair well. With the ability to first-last, the MC30s had the ability to wreck my smaller ships while avoiding the ISD.
