Well, we have played a number of games recently, so I will only 
post the BIG ones.

Game #1 (Narn vs Centauri)
Centauri (me):
1xDargan
12xRutarian
2xAltarian
12xSentri

Narn:
1xG'Quan
12xFrazi
1xDag'Kar
3xThentus

Summary:
I died horribly.  And no real tactical problems, either.  It was that, in
the presence of that many emines, my fighters could not get close enough
to his ships to damage them.  I lost an entire flight of Rutarians and got
heavy damage to an Altarian turn 1 (ion torps SUCK!!!  DIE!! DIE!!)

Report:
Turn 1: Closed range, my ships all at speed 6, Rutes at 9, Sentris at 12.
             Narn ships all moving 10.
             Full defensive EW, managed to shoot down 3 ion torps (of 3).
 4
             well-placed emines made me very grumpy, though.
Turn 2:  Narn fires twins, Frazis, ineffective.  I fire matter cannons
from 
             Altarians, and battle lasers, and twins all at lead Thentus.
 All
             weapons hit, removes front (barely).
Turn 3:  3 turns of ion torp fire has now removed the front of an
Altarian.
             Frazis have wasted a flight of Rutarians and Sentri (problem
is
             with Frazis is, IF they hit, they will vaporize any Centauri
fighter
             hit).  Rutarians proving USELESS against enemy Thentus, can
             hardly do any damage with the ion bolt.
Turn 4: Combo of Heavy Lasers and Med. lasers removed the front of
             my Dargan, and damages its side.  At this point, as the Narn
has 3
             completely untouched ships, and only minimal damage to the
G'Quan,
             and 2/3 of my forces are paralyzed, I concede the game.

Conclusion:
The Dargan and the Rutarian are HIDEOUSLY overpriced.  Both playes agreed

on this - they simply cost too much!  Also, we both agree the Dag'Kar is
well worth its value - it is so disruptive it is not even funny - no
wonder it costs more than a G'Quan!!  Fairly good ship, though.  Should be
an HCV.
