PBW Game Rules Rant

well its gamey if you had actually prepared for the attack, (like setting ships in 1 turn distance and mining enemy planets). otherwise its just element of surprise dont you think? but thats OT.

That is not gamey. Gamey is moving your fleets over their large worlds and then declaring war to avoid minefields. But, declaring war and then attacking is not gamey; it is called a sneak attack and is perfectly legitimate.

No, preparing for the attack is not gamey. Mining their planets is, but preparing to attack is not.

So? It is called topic drift.

not true... as the message is delivered after the attack....

so you skip mines etc...

Tesco, you only skip mines if you are in the sector with the planets when you declare war. If not, then you skip no mines.

Also, the message is delivered concurrent to the attack, not after it. The attack and the message recieval happen on the same turn.

What is your point? It doesn't look like anyone but you has a problem with that.
