Hey folks, I did overshoot the HP of the event ships, my bad. With today's more even engagement, the BAF side only had a single chance to pour in the damage, and it was not enough. For now, I am running with the outcome that the Hope had to detonate early to achieve a partial success of its objective, as it would have definitely died with less hp. I'll have to confirm with story if that's acceptable, but you can assume that the Bracknell is still in the game for now.
Meanwhile, the Bretonian Cruisers on the Achilles side were destroyed, and heavily damaged on the Founder side. The Mollys lost their covering Coalition gunboats and had their reserve force heavily damaged near Arranmore. Stay tuned for story to turn this mess into a more interesting dynamic stalemate.
