Phoenix-D vs Grandpakim Turn 120

As you might have guessed from my previous post, the stalemate in Bizzet was resolved. Grandpakim got a little too nervous when he saw my buildup, despite the fact that his ships had soundly defeated my superior designs a few turns before. His ships have no shields and only stealth/scattering armor; a single hit and they're doomed- the stealth armor goes and its all downhill from there. Fortunately, most of the time my battleships couldn't connect.

Unfortuntely, he didn't realize that massive buildup was sitting over a ship/fleet training center. Had he gone full bore at me, I would have at the least been sweating bullets. As it is, the lull allowed me to concentrate and train my ships.

After destroying his fleet on the warp point soundly, I moved in Yukra and burned it down around his ears. Meanwhile, he attacked in Narcisston, and captured one of my colonies, destryoing another. This turn, I snuck in and destroyed the captured colony before he could make use of it, beating his transport there.

Our ships haven't fought directly since the Bizzet warp point battle. Another conforntation is looming in the Tudan/Narcisston area though- his fleet is returning hot on the heels of my raiding force.

To give you an idea of how nasty this game has been, this is my total losses by ship size, counting only designs that are new enough not to be deleted:

DDs: 9
LCs: 173
CRs: 42
BCs: 66
BBs: 18
STs: 4

Phoenix-D vs Grandpakim Final turn

My empire is an empty shell and I have conceded to Phoenix-D. His huge fighting force finally defeated the Last of my more skilled navy and sent half my planets into riots. I bow to a great player. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Now, Asmala who's my next victim.. er... master...

Yup, send me to the slime and give my another opponent.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

You bow to a lucky player. I got a look at the map, and given our starting positions it took a lot of hang on as long as you did.

Grandpakim's start was in a corner, with one warp point..which led into a nebula.
