Default Your biggest battle?

Hi,

Today I was in the largest battle I can recall ever fighting. I'd be curious to read about any others.

In a TDM solitaire game, turn 845, I was guarding a warp point when the United Floral sent in a huge force. Here's the breakdown:

Me: 200 dreadnoughts
80 baseships
---------------------
Opp: 2 battleships
254 dreadnoughts
144 heavy carriers (around 40 to 50 heavy fighters on each)

In strategic combat I killed every enemy ship and lost 29 dreadnoughts and 20 baseships. A couple of dozen more were damaged to various degree.

Having the first shot, you had a great advantage!

I never had the patience to play games until the turn 845... then, my biggest battles were with near to 100 DN for each side.

The largest I've ever had is about 45 ships of different classes from destroyers to dreadnaughts against 35 AI dreadnaughts.
In lost about eight large ships and wiped the AI out.It concentrated onthe heavy ships giving my little destroyers and cruisers free reign.

My biggest battles all were against the AI in TDM

me 95 AI 154, me defending wormhole (Cu Cuppa)

me 14 BS & StarBases, 25 ships, AI 125 3 straight turns, I lost the wormhole after the 3rd attack (Toran)

several other battles with at least 100 ships on the AI side and mine between 80-100 ships.

Defending wormhold definitly gives defender an edge, maybe should make this a random so the defender doesn't always get the lst shot???

future; looking foreward to pounding the Gryphin with a 200 ship fleet

just some ideas mac
