Ironvoid

A single-ship duel fought in turns of eight impulses on a hex plot. Your reactor produces a fixed number of power points and every one of them must be committed before the turn begins - speed, weapon charging, shield reinforcement, permanent repair, countermeasures, batteries - and the plan is then locked for all eight impulses. Speed is a schedule rather than a distance, turn mode decides when the helm will answer, and damage strikes whichever of six shield facings the shot came from. Anything that gets through rolls on a weighted internal table, and your damage control party can patch only one system per turn. Three hulls, each playable on either side of the table, against three computer skill levels.
