The Primitive Horde VS The EEEvil Empire (Baron Grazic)
2404.3, Large Tesco Map (75+ systems), 3 planet start.
Once again the runts produced by the Horde’s uncontrolled frolicking have settled the largest part of the galaxy. Keeping it though, that's another matter.
Northern front: First Blood (second actually) to the Baron, as his attack fleet of 30+ ships (mostly Frigs and D's) glassed 3 planets, including an almost unprotected huge breathable. When spotting the Hordes relief fleet of 20+ ships (LC's and Carriers) the EEEvil fleet took refuge on the only EEEvil colony in the region. Even if the superior Horde ships could blow the pathetic EEEvil ships away easily, there is the little additional problem of a huge stack of satellites and possibly some other goodies (badies ?) on the planet. The Horde decided to withdraw a little, which was a good (lucky) move, as the Baron upped the ante with another 30 ships (mostly LC's) warping in and moving to the planet.
Situation – Very tense
Central front: WP covered by mines. Fleets being built. Attack or Defend ? Hmmmmm
Situation – Stalemate
Deep South: The final frontier. A Great maze of systems, many yet unclaimed and uncolonized. Here there is room for fancy manoeuvring, as any static defences could easily be bypassed. But as it’s far away from our main systems, it will not be easy to assemble any major fleets down there.
Situation – Wish I had a clue
This game has been very exciting so far. Still lots of decisions to make and options to exploit. Great fun
