Hi!

Iztok had seven secured worlds by then - I never understood why he didn't take the second Fungus world. Instead, he attacked me at the Kee HWs to stop me from winning - effectively, as I had lost the main part of my west fleet to the Kee.

You just answered the question. I had there just a small fleet to hold back Kee, but not to threaten him - the same recipie you used with the Fu Wink

. If I'd attack his last planet, me and he would lose most ships, so you'd have to deal only with his already bombed planets and few surviving ships. With attacking Kee I'd efectively give you the whole upper-left corner of the uni for a cost of few hundred chaff, making Furious

YOU

the winner Furious

. And that was an option I just didn't want to happen

, not

after me

already removing

three active players

off the game.

(you probably got the picture of my mood at that time Wink

).

After seing Kee's building a fleet of jihad BBs I estimated his course of action. Since you've been bombing his planets and I've been destroying just his scouts entering my space, I've became pretty sure he's going to attack you. That actually happened, and all of a sudden my small fleet became the strongest in that part of the uni. Realizing that and with Kee's surrender I immediatelly attacked your new planets, to prevent you achieving victory conditions. If he wouldn't surrender I'd have to wipe out his last planet before attacking yours.

However the game was pretty much decided at that time. I got about 26/32/3x megaTons of minerals on the last Mushroom's HW, and had researched weap-20 (Dooms, Disruptors). I quickly designed a first-and-only-shot disruptor BB to deal with your big stack of 2.25 speed armored heavy blaster BBs, but failed to put them on a proper battle order, when our fleets clashed. In our last battle on Kernel you've seen what they were supposed to do to your much heavier beamer BBs. Anyway, thanks for a good lesson about mid-game initiative importance.
BR, Iztok
