Phoenix-D vs Grandpakim Turn 120

As you might have guessed from my previous post, the stalemate in Bizzet was resolved. Grandpakim got a little too nervous when he saw my buildup, despite the fact that his ships had soundly defeated my superior designs a few turns before. His ships have no shields and only stealth/scattering armor; a single hit and they're doomed- the stealth armor goes and its all downhill from there. Fortunately, most of the time my battleships couldn't connect.

Unfortuntely, he didn't realize that massive buildup was sitting over a ship/fleet training center. Had he gone full bore at me, I would have at the least been sweating bullets. As it is, the lull allowed me to concentrate and train my ships.

After destroying his fleet on the warp point soundly, I moved in Yukra and burned it down around his ears. Meanwhile, he attacked in Narcisston, and captured one of my colonies, destryoing another. This turn, I snuck in and destroyed the captured colony before he could make use of it, beating his transport there.

Our ships haven't fought directly since the Bizzet warp point battle. Another conforntation is looming in the Tudan/Narcisston area though- his fleet is returning hot on the heels of my raiding force.
