Default Re: Rated Challenges Thread

Since no one else seems to be doing it...

2 x 2 Challenge (full tech) - Alneyan/Slynky vs Electrum/Parabolize

Year: 2405.5

2 turns now and blood has filled a few systems. The initial attack Last turn saw the fleet of Parabolize victorious but with sever losses. This game him an opening to our vulnerable systems...able to go on a rampage, so to speak.

Then the ensuing turn, while he added ships to his armada, a counter attack took place in two other systems...the overwhelming victory belonging to Alneyan...who has two fleets in position for a "riot run".

Despite the large ship losses, no point positions have been changed! Parabolize, lover of full-tech games, has remained in 1st place followed (closely?) by Alneyan. My pitiful self seems to be content in Last place while Electrum, a somewhat unproven player (though his rating and skills show promise) holds 3rd place.

The next few turns could be bloody indeed as secondary lines of defense have been solidified and other frontal attacks appear to be imminent.

Big questions! Defend? Fall back? Attack? Shift forces? It's an exciting game as most any full-tech game is. The (potential) victory can shift each turn.
