Captain Iavarone and myself agreed that a pincer move would be the most effective way to deal with the enemy ship. <\/p>\n<p>However, we have just detected two additional Klingon battlecruisers on approach as well. I&#8217;m confident that our combined firepower can drive the Klingons off &#8211; but only if we can close the distance quickly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Captain Foxwell continued watching the status monitor. The Darius and Hamilcar closed with each other, but the Klignons turned towards the Hamilcar. If all three should attack simultaneous&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Engineerin! Can you give us more speed?&#8221; the captain called.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I do &#8211; we&#8217;ll have nothing in reserve,&#8221; the chief engineer said. Captain Foxwell pondered his options. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can hold out for at least one or two passes,&#8221; commented Iavarone looking at the same tactical information as Foxwell. &#8220;They&#8217;ll have to divert some of their power with you coming up behind them. Just keep closing the distance.&#8221; It wasn&#8217;t an actual order, but Foxwell knew Iavaron was an excellent tactician. It was a sound plan. &#8220;Steady on course,&#8221; commanded Foxwell. &#8220;You better be right about this,&#8221; he commented at the inset visual of the Hamilcar&#8217;s bridge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When am I ever wrong,&#8221; joked Iavarone, a wry smile on his face.<\/p>\n<p>The Hamilcar&#8217;s bridge shook and the picture blanked out for a moment as the first disruptor blast hit the sturdy destroyer. Iavarone&#8217;s smile vanished in an instant. &#8220;Well, lets hope today isn&#8217;t the first time.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The battle was joined.\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"2%\" class=\"vertrepeat\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"62%\">\n<h3>GAME SET-UP<\/h3>\n<p>Lay out one Star Trek Combat Simulator map-sheet in the configuration shown.
