Mathias put up a nice game. He did jump into first place for a while, and also fielded some nice fleets with PPB IV against my DUC V fleets. I can't take too much credit for this win; I profited hugely by reading this thread, as well as Stone Mill's strategy articles--hopefully, next game I can put them all into practice with a little more finesse. Surrender came not a turn too soon for me; my three attack fleets were about to run out of supply just as I discovered his home system.
[edit] Yay. I get to move up to the bottom of the hill. That sounds like such a major accomplishment--"Congratulations! You finally made it up to the bottom!"
I'm not sure how up to date the site is, but it looks like I'm going against Gandalph next.
