That is Tescos favorite little game

I'll bet he is one of these guys who always laughs at the wrong places at movies, and with a real loud and annoying laughter to boost (a lot of snorts and spittle)

I make sure I spell Asmala correctly...I don't need any MORE reasons for him to get upset at me in a game .

I know the feeling Tesco, it happened to me as well against Geoschmo. It hurts to see the destruction of fifty beloved light carriers equiped with heavy-mounted DUC V against a mere fourty of his own ships. Guess I should have tried a ramming tactics, it would have proven to be most amusing. *Snickers* Such a waste of minerals, but it was an emergency after all.

But I will comfort you Tesco, it might be worse if you are fighting an opponent with Combat Sensors III /ECM III and full training while you don't have any of these. Then it is definitively a one-sided battle, that is, a single ship of yours against a whole enemy fleet. (Well, unless these annoying weapon-platforms are on station)

RexTorres vs Slynky: Slynky surrenders. Not much point in investing time in this one. If I know anything, I know I need to have better than average systems and planets to work with in order to beat him .

Me (in orange) having so many worthless systems around my home system and so few breathables with no minerals to speak of (my only colonies with minerals above 99% were 2-fac places)...well, I can't even keep 6 shipyards going and build other facs. I took a chance and didn't spend precious materials on mines in outlying areas (but he took a chance and killed 2 colonies anyway... ). My best systems were under constant contention while he started with a 46 fac-ability in his home system (I had 18).

He outplayed me as I tried to get to the only available breathables without benefit of any mines to cover them. I held them but at a cost that put me behind the "expansion curve" (so to speak).

Good playing, Rex! A mistake here or there and it might have been a bit different...I just don't think you made any.

Side note: Over one third of the systems were worthless. Wow! Also, second time I've played Rex (once for the KOTH) and we've only had 3 systems separating us both times...

Worthless places grayed out.

Tesco never spells people's names right... I think he does do it on purpose.

Listen...

Hear a noise?
