Please put mark one place up. And me at the bottom.
This week was somewhat busy for me, and I totally lost focus on the game. Also sorry to mark for the sometimes slow turn from my side.
It was a nice game, but he got faster mines on strategical point and that probally was my dead.
He was now attacking me from two sides, where I have no ships present.
And with the talismal he's got a winner.
So therefore I will not longer struggle to get more turn, because he would win in the end...I think..
Have Fun.

"If God is for us, who can be against us?"
This was a really interesting map because there were no chokepoints, so we both had to guard or attack through at least four warp points at any one time.
We spent turns 20-35 (ish) skirmishing between my Colony ships and ramships and Sparhawks armed scouts, and I think I came ahead out of that, forcing myself into systems Sparhawk would like to have claimed. Then I managed to get minefields laid in strategic locations, solidifying my advantage.
I also seemed to have developed a big economic lead, because I'd expected that Sparhawk would be able to put something nasty together with the time and research points (825,000 of them) that I spent getting to Talisman tech. But in fact, when I got my first attack fleets together (Light Cruisers with DUC V, PDC IV, ECM II, Talismans and Armor) and started advancing (around turn 50), I was only running into Destroyers with DUC IIIs.
It's now turn 55, and as well as the two fleets Sparhawk's seen, there'll be another arriving next turn, and another the turn after that. So if he doesn't have a huge fleet hidden behind his lines (which is what I was assuming), then the game is indeed over.
Thanks Sparhawk, it was fun. I hope it was for you too!
