[HAL]

Mostly messed around with my machine race Last night, but did put in a few turns on my Halogen game. It is looking very grim.

The AI swept part of my minefield and then punched through a 10 BB, 15 CR, and 5 CL fleet. My pitiful 5 CR and 1 CL minesweeper fled before them. I kept hearing that line from Return of the Jedi, "We can't repel firepower of that magnitude!" I am now down to six systems. I remain hopeful though. The system I just lost was a speed bump system. I have been building up behind it, and may yet be able to turn the tables.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
