Announcing the 2005 PBW Open Tournament

[Slynky]

Parasite said:I think we both played very well. His empire was set up for more long term play while mine was a little better on the shorter game side. Once I became unable to break through his ships, he could win by attrittion. He also realized that and played it to a tea.

Thanks for the kind words.

It was a good game with a good map and good players. I was always on edge wondering just how far I was in 1st place. Of course, I wasn't in 1st place the whole game, you held it for quite a few turns.

I like the game because it wasn't a "one-battle decided it all" sort of game. We risked some large numbers a few times and had some 10-20 ship fleets a lot of times. I took a system, and you took it, and then I took it back, then you took it back. You captured some breathers and wiped out a system on the outside edge. Then I resettled it and broke through your defenses in the middle and outer edge. So, like I said, it was a fun game with a good turn-around time of game turns with a good sport. *bows*
