Re: size of fleets midgame

As it seems, this was not enough.

Many Fighter-Bombers with Planetary Cluster Bombs is great for piercing planetary defenses but you may need fighter escort to get past any of there fighters and you will need a comparable fleet to get past any ships or bases they may have... Best to SEND ONE SCOUT IN FIRST and see what the planet has for Weapons Platforms, Troops and Fighters. A good rule of thumb may be to have better then 2 to 1 in regards to troops for Capture planet, that should give you a foothold. Also note: To many Cluster bombers may purge the planet…. Good luck…
