[Cheeze]

A news post on one of the "bottom tier" games. It's turn 79, and the "Cheeze vs Gandalph" game is still going strong. Despite having made contact somewhere around turn 29, both of us were apparently either saving up and building "best possible" fleets, or we're both chicken.

After some tentative light battles, Gandalph came charging hard into my systems, doing damage and spreading chaos. On such push made it right to my homeworld. The sacrifice of a few ships ahead of the this attack fleet slowed the fleet long enough for a credible defense to be mustered over the my homeworld, and this strike was defeated. The Cheeze military made two incursions into Gandalph's territory, meeting with some success. One such fleet was terminated abruptly by a very sneaky mostly-cloaked fleet. The remaining one runs rampant, at least for now. I'm hoping I did some destruction to his resource base and general population happiness.

The game could end very soon, but it appears we'll be slugging it out in the trenches (probably 6 or 7 primary systems) for a while. Gandalph has superior construction ability and propulsion expertise, while my organic tech provides some counter-balance.
