PBW "newbie game"

[Dragonlord]

I suspect Baal dropped out partly because he just lost *the* decisive battle against me in Newbie I. His fleet of 50 ships managed to destroy some of my frontier worlds, cause I needed time to group together a response force. When we attacked Last turn, it was a major success. 45 ships against 50, we lost about 15 ships, he lost ALL. Of course it must have helped that my fleet was "legendary".

I'm sad he's leaving though, it was a lot of fun playing against him. I hope nothing serious is happening to him in real life.
