Phoenix-D vs Grandpakim Turn 111
Without doubt, this is the most exciting game I've ever been in! Turn 111 and the end is nowhere in sight.
In the southeast, the position has solidified at the Gergan choke. When this opens up, it will no doubt be explosive.
The complex of systems in the northwest is another matter. We are intertwined, controlling oddly different systems. I still tenaciously hold the crossroads system of Yukra, P-D controls Tudran, another crossroad immediately north. Beyond Tudran, P-D has colonized Narcisston, a former system of mine. Using my most celebrated fleet -- the people tell "legends" of this fleet-- I have cut access at the Tudran/Narcisston warp point. How will he respond?
Immediately south of Yukra, a second fleet holds the warp point in Bizzet and threatens several colonies. Only the massive build up at Bizzet VIII, only two sectors away, stays my hand. The tension here is palpable and cannot Last long. Who will move first?
What has made this game most interesting is our radically different empire designs. While I feel like a pensioner on a fixed income, P-D must be wondering just how many ships he needs to take out one of mine.
Damn this is fun!
Note to Phoenix-D: PBW was kinda flaky when I uploaded, and now appears to be down. If my upload didn't take and the AI plays the turn, I'll be asking for a redo. Is this okay with you?
