Looks like se5a gets to face me. Turn 68, I conceed to Geo. Note: shift-clicking two fleets of different speeds does NOT mean they will move together.

Ouch, is that what happened? I think that my fleet would have probably prevailed in the battle even against both fleets, having the first shot at the warp point. But getting them one at a time allowed me to survive in good enough shape to follow up the victory by cleaning out your system beyond.

Awesome job of doing the best you could with a bad situation Phoenix. You had me scrambling for a couple dozen turns there trying to run down all your raiders. Till I finally decided to give up chasing them and just build weapons platforms. I knew I'd lose some planets in the process, but also knew I could probably spare more then you could. Giving up chasing them allowed me to concentrate my fleets and go on the offensive.
