Georgig (c.h.a.o.s Arnachy) -vs- Slynky (Trithian Empire) 2408.1

Well, after MANY turns of building up at the 2 (good) warp points separating our empires, Georgig let go with just about an all out attack on both fronts.

Point 1 (West): Nearly 120 light cruisers, about 60 on each side fought a bloody battle. All his ships were updated and it showed in battle. Were it not for the 73 sattelites I had there to damage or kill around 10 nearby ships, it would have been a different story as my ability to hit him with (many) outdated ships hurt my fleet badly. Results: all Georgig ships destroyed leaving me with 22 undamaged.

Point 2 (East): Between 30 and 35 light cruisers of Georgig's entered the warp point to fight my 25 ships. More outdated ships of mine. Though I killed a few ships, for him, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. I don't know how many ships of his I killed before being destroyed, I'm guessing around 10 - 15. (some of those were captured minesweepers that got destroyed later). Lucky for me I had a trained (modern) fleet of 8 ships arrive a few days later. The second "big" battle at the wormhole saw all his ships (approximately 15 to 20 ships) destroyed while I was left with 3 ships (1 damaged). Best ship rating now at 28%

So, in the few turns passing since then, we are building forces again. I'm just happy I anticipated the attack and put some ships in the yards even though it was a killer on my minerals!
