Played out the Battle at Pluto again with all the ships modifications and miniatures, as well as starting the battle with the two fleets parallel to each other.
Not a single Earth ship survived. And only one Gamilas destroyer was destroyed. Though the Gamilas battleship was heavily damaged by concentated firepower and at least a few cruisers and destroyers were badly hurt by the Earth ship. These few ships retreated from the remaining Earth fleet before the battle ended
Only one Earth ship was targeted by missiles...Yukikaze, as she was fleeing the area alone at high speed. They launched everything they had with a 10 percent chance to hit. But that was about 130 missiles. 20 hit the last Earth ship. Only three hits would have been needed.
Kodai and Shima are going to have to make other arrangements to get home.
Come time for the convention, I will set the fleets on their approach vectors just at the edge of firing ranges so the fight will still only take six or so turns, but also so each side has someplace they can move. The Earth fleet suffered do to them not being able to use what few advantages they have (the bow shock cannons mainly) and the Gamilas were able to bring most of their weapons to bear.
However the game played out fairly close to what we witnessed in the first episode, while still giving the impession the Earth ships could do something. (They missed more often than they should have...also known as bad dice).
