[Ragnarok]

Ragnarok's "Baron Chasers! Federation" vs. Baron Grazic's "EEEvil EEEmpire"

2407.9 - Baron came into one of my systems 3 turns ago with a large fleet. (80 plus ships IIRC)
I was at a planet training my fleet of 55 ships or so, so I sent them after him and 2 turns later battle takes place only to increase his fleet size to 92 ships. Did I mention I hate boarding parties?! I have nothing large enough to stop Baron now. It looks to be the first time I will not go past 100 turns in the whole tourney, unless I force Baron to chase me all over the place to take out all my planets but that'd just be cheesey. So as soon as my Last fleet is dead it is surrender time I do believe.

One thing that hurt me is my home system. It had nothing but my home planet in it. It is complete empty except for the 17 asteriod fields in it. So it took along time for me to get my empire developing. It took 2 turns just to get out of my home system (6 spaces from warp point) and then hardly any GOOD planets around. Also being cut off so soon hurt, the way this map was set up made it to where there were 2 choke points cutting me off from rest of map; and they were way too close to my home system for comfort. Oh well, it was a fun game and I learned alot from my mistakes that I made.

Kudos to Baron for the game and I wish him the best up the hill.

Asmala, be ready to move Grazic up soon as this game should be over soon. If not tonight then tomorrow night for sure.
