I ran a test and my fleet got pasted tryign to run either of those warp points. SO my only chance would have been to fall back and try to catch your fleets in my space. Even then I would have had to catch them at a warp point to beat them. The timing would have been too hard to accomplish. I suppose the best I could have hoped for would be a stalemate of sorts dragging out the war for another 50 turns or so while you got your econ back on line. But I don't think I could have pulled it off.

I hadn't counted on your ships running out of fuel. I saw you had the tech so I figured you had some solar panels in your fleets. If I had known that I might have held on a biut longer, but it wouldn't have mettered in the end.

My latest BC design was a sheer desparation move. About ten turns ago when you finally caught me in score I started pumping them out jsut to get back on top. I wanted you to think I was too big for you to try attacking.

Well, the BC trick worked.

As I said, your fleet of 47 ships would have held an equal number of ships at bay. 20-something on one side and 20-something on the other. I couldn't release more to rumage through your systems...what you see running around north and east was all I could spare. Down south, the big fleet only had one support ship. It couldn't have gone much further. So, I was sending new ships to get your invaders, some ships into your area, and the rest holding.

So, I was serious when I said earlier that the game was a tossup (and I felt more like 60-40 your way).

SOoooo...I made the suggestions Last time. Other than no S-Manip and Religious race, what are your suggestions for a rematch?
