Gozguy v Geoschmo, 2407.7

Gozguy continues to suprise me at every turn. He is either having trouble commiting to one strategy, or he is carrying out some long range, diabolical scheme that I simply am too dense to understand.

His attack fleet completed it's flanking manuver and entered my homesystem from the east Last turn. It made straight for the nearest undefended planet and glassed it. There sitting four sectors from my homeworld, he flinched? It can't be a flinch. He's too good for that. But it sure looks like a flinch.

His fleet passed by my homeworld and headed for the north warp point, back towards his own space. I think I got a glimpse of his ship crews pressing their derobed posteriors against the portholes as they flew by. Not sure if that has some cultural significance for his race or what.

Of course perhaps he just decided that he couldn't risk losing his fleet to my HW defenses. The fleet I had there was half the size of his, but perhaps he figured they would damage him enough that he would be in serious trouble even if he won the battle.

Meanwhile my attack fleet is on an inexorable course for his homeworld and their destiny, for good or bad. It appears my HW will live to see another day. However, if my fleet is dashed and fails to take his out though I will be in serious trouble anyway.
