Issue #25: Talon Puzzle 3

OK new Talon Puzzle! This time I decided to throw the Terrans some love by way of Fighters. FTRs are extremely powerful. They are the most maneuverable ship in the game and can be deadly once they get locked in behind a capital ship. Unlike other ships they don’t generate their own AP and instead rely on their Carrier to transmit AP. Typically 4 FTRs are launched with every CV.

Wide shot and close-up above.

Talon has a BC with the helm down status effect but in a prior turn it managed to launch some Missiles at the Wolverine squadron. The Talon BB managed to knock out a FTR in Ace of Spades squad with one Disruptor bank. The BB also has a turn radius marker out. Those FTRs are still recharging weapons. It’s Impulse A for Terran.

Before the end of Impulse C how can the Terran player get a (pretty much) guaranteed kill on the Talon BC WHILE preserving his remaining FTRs?   

Some other optimal moves regarding the other ships will play a role and be a part of the solution as well.

P.S.  Really excited about the Vassal module. It’s in the polishing stages now and should be out soon. Am just blown away by what Stefano Tine’ was able to do, especially with Empire War.
