KOTH Roanon vs. Cheeze

We met very early, our home systems being very near together, one system apart on one side, 2 systems in between on the other side. We both had one other exit from our homeworlds into uncontested systems, but by sheer luck I had the largest part of the galaxy behind my back while Cheeze was nearly pushed in the corner.

In the initial struggle I had the edge shipwise but kept loosing battles anyway and lost several planets in my home system. The game was finally decided by mines, which I barely got in time to defeat his ships in my home system. Luck again, one turn later and I would have lost I guess.

After that, I managed to box him in his home system plus exit into corner/edge while I could expand through the middle. Funny, nearly all of the planets breathable for me were in his quarter of the galaxy while I encountered everywhere lots of planets that would have been good for him. Luckily, as I found out later, there were very few of these in the systems that he managed to seize.
