Gozguy vs Geoschmo 2414.3

This game has been remarkable for me. Never before have I had a game with so many wild swings of momentum back and forth.

Early on I felt quite sure I was going to lose. At one point Goz had wiped out most of my navy and I had little to stop his advances. I managed to hold off disaster and at a point later in the game had a series of stunning victories, including wiping out his homesystem.

After that I began the process of slowly gobbling up the remainder of his empire. Actually I was quite shocked he would not surrender at that point. In fact listening to him talk he still felt he had the advantage. Clearly I believed that to simply be false bravado.

Now I am not so sure. He has launched a counter offensive in the south. A series of disasterous battles has left my empire basically open to plunder along the whole of my southern flank, and his fleets are pressing towards my homesystem now.

All is not lost however as my fleets in the North are running amok through his empire similarly unchecked.

I can honestly say at this point I have no idea who will ultimatly prevail in this contest. Every turn could bring another large fleet of his popping out where it's not expected. And every turn can bring another series of planets of his under my control.

What a game.
