Red able to establish 4 hexes on planet incl with a Hvy BB. Last turn flurry of purple hits from Green almost turned the tide, but the flagship lived.

#5: Triangulum System II (BD-16-0827)
Togan (Commonwealth) 21 points
Mark McG (Confederacy) 11 points

Another planet control tussle which I lost miserably 11-4.

I was leading on ship kills until the final turn when Togan scored a Destroyer, and then my Flagship with 2 Purple hits from 3 dice.

Did you apply this rule:

"When there are no remaining cap fighters to protect the flagship, any hits scored on the flagship must be confirmed to take effect and eliminate the flagship. To confirm a hit, reroll all the dice that scored hits. On the reroll, a purple square symbol or a blast symbol will confirm the hit and the flagship figure is eliminated."

NO, forgot.. but the way the dice were going, I'm sure it would have been confirmed.

and forgot and the Capital ship Debris rule (again). That was relevant because it was on a planet hex, the same hex as the Flagship I think.

#1: Cardinal’s Belt (BD-16-0816)
Mirko (Commonwealth) 8 points
Mark McG (Confederacy) 21 points

An embarrassing richness of lucky dice in this game. Barely missed and the dice seemed stuck on Blasts for a while.
Couldn't hit this morning, couldn't miss this afternoon.

"NO, forgot.."

It's mind-boggling that this rule is not shown in the flagship's profile, only in the combat rules. When you wrote that you had lost your flagship, I kind of remembered the rule, but was not certain, and first checked the ship profile, where I could not find it, so I checked the combat rules and found it there.

I've added a note to the profile , identical to that in the Charts.

Truth is a knew the rule, butwith about 4 hours of sleep and 2 hours into the match, I wasn't thinking clearly enough.
Ironically it compounded on the sin of failing to place a Capital ship debris on the planet hex where I destroyed Togan's battleship..  so I shouldn't have entered that hex in the first place.

There are a couple of things I find odd in these rules;
1. Planetary control objective..  why is it permanent, and not calculated each turn. I had 4 VP from a hex that Togan took control of..  
2. Entering a planet hex has to be done from orbit..  but leaving the planet gravity well is easy.
3. Capital ship debris kind of makes sense, but on a planet it would fall to the surface.
