I am...I follow this game very closely. Well as close as I can for the information that comes through this thread.

I should reload turn 1 and "snatch" the map for reference, I guess, but it hasn't seemed like the game has drawn much interest.

Certainly, the Olden Ones contain some of the best players around (from what I have seen)...so it's a tough game (as our position shows).

The map is very interesting. Choke points, etc. Three on top and three on bottom...with those three "Groups" of systems on top connected in various ways to the three "Groups" on the bottom. Lines of colonization have begun to form up and defensive positions being staged. A few ships lost to mines and some "fighter wars".

Obviously, we "young" upstarts have bitten off a big piece of meat to fry. I'm sure they are doing as much as they can to prove their reputations.

I'm glad you like the map. Did my best to make it ballenced, fun and as deceptive as possible.

I'd like to hear the scoop on this game as well.

Please give some updates as this progresses.

The game is starting to materialize now. Fleets are now making their presence known. Preparations are being made for some significant battles in the middle of the map while fighting has already began in the West. The biggest fleet that has appeared is by geoschmo (21 LCs's) in the middle of the map. They must surely be fitted with the Talisman. In the West, Asmala is assmbling a fleet to work on 1FSTCAT, who fights without benefit of the Talisman. As one who doesn't have the Talisman, I feel his pain (said in my best "Clinton" voice...

). In the East, only a minor skirmish between Lord Chane and RexTorres with a few ships.

I suspect we will see some "geoschmo action" soon with his fleet of 21 LC's, though

Perhaps.
