In Review: Best Fleet Strategy

[PvK]

He didn't say no advantages, and he did say he dumped points into intelligence, I think. He probably has planetary exploitation advantage. I think he probably can do it in 25 turns. In a recent PBW game I have an opponent who did something very like this, but without the mistake of sticking to speed 3 escorts . The first thing I ran into were speed 6 frigates with two DUC IV's, ECM I, and two PDC's, and these were developed in under 30 turns. I parried this with mines and by outnumbering with CSM frigates. This improved Version is a good first strike technique, but the speed 3 escort idea is a mistake, except maybe for defense ships.
