     SCENARIO: Two Sisters
     
     The Omega Destroyer was one of the best designs the EA ever put out.  
     Which, of course, was not good for Sheridan since he had so few of 
     them.  They were particularly good at blasting WhiteStars, with all of 
     their particle beams.  And, they were lethal to the tenous supply 
     lines behind the advancing AoL forces.
     
     In the Neothyne system, two Omegas frequently produced problems for 
     shipping and had even earned a nickname - "Two Sisters".  A strike 
     force was sent out to destroy them as Sheridan was about to send a 
     fleet through a nearby system, and didn't want their supply lines 
     harassed.
     
     Player #1 (Sheridan's Army of Light): 3 x Hyperion Cruisers: Io, Nemo, Juno
                                           6 Standard Starfuries Each
                                           2 Vorchan Cruisers
                                           12 Sentris
     Player #2 (Clarke's Earth Alliance): 2 x Omega Destroyers:  Hito, Yamamoto
                                          24 Standard Starfuries each
     
     Set-up:
     
     Set up the map as follow:
     
     A  B  C
     D  E  F
     
     Their is a jump gate in hex 2215.
     
     The EA forces are within 15 hexes of the jump gate, any facing, 
     speed 8.
     
     The AoL forces can enter from the jump gate or seperate jump points 
     within 5 hexes of the jump gate, any facing, speed 7.  As usual, their 
     jump-in points must be recorded secretly before the EA players places 
     his forces.
     
     Victory conditions. 
     
     Points are awarded for each side based on the total point value of 
     the enemy ships it has destroyed.  If the AoL player does not 
     destroy at least one Omega, he loses.  If he does destroy one, 
     victory is determined by a comparison of the points each player 
     scored, highest winning.  If the AoL player destroys both Omegas, 
     he wins regardless of any other event.
     
     
     Optional rules: 
     
     Ramming: Ramming is not allowed.
     
     Fighter cover: The playtest rules for CAP (CSP) is in effect.
     
     Comments: 
     
     An excellant battle.  Great demostration of different levels of 
     technology.  The Omegas are far better at standoff capability, and can 
     engage the Hyperions with the Heavy Lasers.  Whereas the Vorchans, 
     which have to close, will be pealed apart by the particle beams.  The 
     EA player should thus concentrate on keeping his ships together at 
     long range.  The AoL player will have to split his forces.  Again, as 
     the EA player has space superiority, the AoL player should concentrate 
     on using his fighters defensively.
