Phoenix sat at his desk watching the numbers trickle across his screen, this was proving to be a interesting start to this years Imperial Storm IV simulation.

"What in the blazes are they doing" he muttered to nobody in particular. With Genie managing the Hammer in his absence Phoenix was ensconced away in his office keeping tabs on the orders.

Turn 6 has been completed, the big news of this turn is the arrival of the forces of the Challenge at the world of Spar Alpha, which had only recently being conquered by the Warrior. In line with our updated rules, we automatically apply 20% damage at the start of combat and if this is larger than the enemy force we automatically resolve combat.

Sadly for the Warrior this meant the loss of a stalwart Victory Class Star Destroyer and its squadron of TIE Defenders. They did however give a good account of themselves despite the overwhelming odds.

The second highlight of the round was the discovery of the Drunken Admiral by the Challenge. Sector Admiral Kamjin was rather enlightening and I am sure will have stories to tell... especially as the Challenge picked up our first Drunken Admiral Wildcard!

We move on now with Turn 7 and with teams all now on the hunt I expect we will have our first proper battle in due course.
