Looks like se5a gets to face me. Turn 68, I conceed to Geo. Note: shift-clicking two fleets of different speeds does NOT mean they will move together.

Ouch, is that what happened? I think that my fleet would have probably prevailed in the battle even against both fleets, having the first shot at the warp point. But getting them one at a time allowed me to survive in good enough shape to follow up the victory by cleaning out your system beyond.

Awesome job of doing the best you could with a bad situation Phoenix. You had me scrambling for a couple dozen turns there trying to run down all your raiders. Till I finally decided to give up chasing them and just build weapons platforms. I knew I'd lose some planets in the process, but also knew I could probably spare more then you could. Giving up chasing them allowed me to concentrate my fleets and go on the offensive.

Yep, that's what happened. You probably would have won, but I was expecting that (needed to free up maintence), I was just trying to inflict losses and maybe scare you. But because of the way they went through, you got a short-range shoot first TWICE, which killed.

As with the raiders..I just finally realized that sitting back and waiting for Doomsday wasn't going to help, and that I might as well go down with an empty bank account.

First contact. Wah Hoo! A knife fight. Haven't had one of these in a while.

Chance of beating Kazarp when starting in adjacent systems = 99.9%.

Haven't had one in a while??? Lucky bastard. I hate those starts.

Want to know how many I've had? Look at my number of losses in the standings and subtract 1.

Techniclly I did but was taken by the stupid "misisle hits, does no damage" bug against planets. Of course, I just fried two of his escorts so we're about even..
