Phase One of "Operation Autumn Mist" is now complete! The Gaian Locusts now leave the ruined University lands and descend on those who thought to take advantage while the Gaians were engaged elsewhere. Phase Two of "Operation Autumn Mist" has started...



The Gaian Probe Team crouched low in the fungus, watching the Morganites roll over the local Gaian transcript defenders. The Probe Team pitied the local Gaians who were slaughtered in the brief engagement, but the local Gaians had known their place in nature, and had proceeded accordingly, regardless of the dangers.

The Gaian Probe Team readied themselves for engagement. They watched as the Morganite invaders brought in transport after transport of luxeries, regardless of the needs of the local population. The final straw was the gold plated toilets passing by the starving local children. The Gaian Probe Team went into action!

The Gaian Probe Team Leader broke open her satchel labeled "Atrocities", and dug around until she found what she was looking for. She pulled out a hermetically sealed container, and started reading the pamphlet that had accompanied the contents original owner:

Directions for Thine UnHoly Hand Grenade

1. Removest thine Unholy Hand Grenade from its cradle.
2. Pull the pin from thine UnHoly Hand Grenade.
3. Count not once, not twice, but thrice, and throw thine UnHoly Hand Grenade into the waters of thine enemy, and they shall wilt before you as the nonbelievers shall before the gaze of God!



The Gaian Probe Team stalked away, knowing their work was done. At a safe distance from the Morganic base, the leader contacted their home base, "Yes Sir, the atrocity has been committed. We have given the Morganites a bad case of 'Sister Miriam's Revenge' . You may launch your attack at any time.".

And so it was that the Morganites were caught with their pants down (literally speaking) when the Gaian Assault Forces counterattacked and retook all of the Morganites ill-gained conquests!

The GEF continues their advance!

One advantage of losing most of my bases is that it takes a lot less time to play my turn.

The Gaian Plague of Locusts descends upon the Morganites, ravaging all that they see! Gaian Regulars advance in their wake, systematically eliminating any resistance that is met, and..... and.....and.....
Many Gaian bases have been destroyed! Large water filled craters now replace many sites previously occupied by Gaian cities! Someone has stabbed the Gaians in the back! Mongoose old buddy, I can't reach the knife sunk into my back! Can you pull the knife in my back out for me? Mongoose? Mongoose?
Argh! Mongoose has effectively eliminated (with nukes) all ripostes the Gaians might have mounted against the Data Angels transcending in two turns!
Anyone got a chance of touching the Angels in the next two turns, do it now, or the game is, like, over!

Turn to Herc.

Game Over. Acendence achieved.

Any of you that want to see my last turn, send me a note to that effect.

Very interesting game concept here. Having no SPs puts quite a twist on the game, IMO.

I stole this one. Ten turns ago, I thought Paul had an insurmountable lead.

Ciao!

It is sung. And it was a steal. Mind you the Consciousness was never in the running.

It is interesting that this is the second PBem game I have recently been involved in where the DA's thru good pacts and tech manouveurs have come out winning.

Congratulations.

Well, congratulations Mong. It was a very interesting game, especially seeing how Krysia's Krusader had enhanced the Gaians above and beyond anything I ever could have done with them (especially in the diplomatic arena).
I think the one mistake I made was outlining to you my employment of the concept of schwerpunkt, and its major weakness - you took full advantage of it to eliminate any riposte I might have offered once you made your move! Oh well, me and my big mouth....
I would have to say I definately recommend the concept of no SP's for future PBEM's - definately a different twist (and strategizing) on the game!

I think I agree on the no SP angle. It would be nice to be in at the start of any similar, no SP, game set up.

Also I must say my predecessor in this game had the most unusual base naming convention.

Also Mong gave us a lesson in 'Instabuild' which was impressive. Still not sure how he did it.

Schwerpunkt is a German word (or phrase - I'm not sure which)and is associated militarily with centers of control, or power, and essentially can be thought of as a citadel, or built up base with lots of defenders and offensive units that are militarily responsible for control of a region/ front, both offensively and defensively. It is essentially the correct tactic to employ when keeping in mind the phrase "He who defends everything defends nothing".

Put an end to popups!

Cngratulations Mong. Two weeks in a row I've said that! I was a fairly late replacement but it was still interesting. It did make for a very different game, seemed very quiet up until quite late. It was fun using orbital defense pods & gravships though- don't get to do that too often!
