Round 21: Endgame, Part I

Following three rounds of general stagnation and boredom in the great struggle for galactic supremacy, it became clear that the war was about to be decided. With a weary determination to see things end, one way or the other, Overlord Joncha powered up his fleet and hurled it into the teeth of Smiley’s defenses. As it turned out, Smiley’s fleet had stayed at home, so the two superpowers met in a combat involving every ship in the known galaxy.

Smiley takes 1028 hits. Joncha takes 1124 hits. Joncha’s fleet is defeated and forced to withdraw.


In an unusual turn of events, both fleets chose exactly the same OOB; thus, the issue was decided by firepower. Unfortunately for Joncha, Smiley made superb use of his advantage in lasers, and caused severe damage to Joncha’s fleet before he could retaliate. Although both fleets took enormous casualties, it would be Joncha who was forced to retreat and fight another day.

Not until you kill each other, no. I must say, Smiley's Close In order made all the difference; without it, he'd have been utterly crushed.

Do you want to attack me this round, or shall I attack you again? Let's try to end this without any more shenanigans...

Round 22: Endgame, Part II

Following Joncha’s failed attack the previous round, Smiley decided to return the favour, and launched his entire fleet – along with a large number of new laser ships – against Joncha.

code:
LTF-FTL LTF-LTF hp 1432 hp 862 17LT,1LF 44LT,81LF 80FT 7FT 46TT 19TT RAW DATA Joncha Smiley ----------------------------------- 86 lasers 301 lasers 230 torpedoes 95 torpedoes 400 fighters 35 fighters Back, default Close, Bunch ADJUSTED DATA Joncha Smiley ----------------------------------- 86 lasers 301 lasers Joncha takes 215 hits. 460 torpedoes 95 torpedoes Smiley takes 365 hits. 200 fighters 35 fighters Smiley takes 165 hits. Joncha takes 215 hits. Smiley takes 530 hits. Revised Fleet Numbers: hp 1217 hp 332 No lasers! 8LT(8) 80FT 7FT 42(3)TT 19TT RAW DATA Joncha Smiley ----------------------------------- 400 fighters 40 lasers 210 torpedoes 95 torpedoes 0 lasers 35 fighters Back, default Close, Bunch ADJUSTED DATA Joncha Smiley ----------------------------------- 200 fighters 80 lasers Smiley takes 120 hits. 420 torpedoes 95 torpedoes Smiley takes 325 hits and is destroyed. Joncha takes 215 hits. Smiley takes 975 hits and is destroyed. Smiley’s fleet is destroyed and his attack fails


Interestingly enough, both fleets chose to use the same OOB as the previous round for the first three rounds. However, the results of this were somewhat different; Joncha had learnt his lesson regarding Smiley’s lasers, and was able to counter them much more effectively. He then proceeded to decimate Smiley’s fleet with mass torpedo barrages into his tightly-packed formation, sending some fighters in for good measure.

When the dust settled, Smiley’s entire fleet was gone, and his bases were left defenceless. A few days later, a letter arrived from Smiley’s capital announcing an unconditional surrender to Joncha’s forces.

ALL HAIL JONCHA, SUPREME OVERLORD OF THE GALAXY!

Full PM-box? Change here!

phew. It's almost 3AM here on the west coast. Great game.

In retrospect, GO would be a better game if it were set up so that there aren't as many early conquests, and a much faster endgame.

Excellent. My strategy was just to break the alliance... it turned out much better than I expected.

Even with the spy factory tomfoolery, this was a good game.

Well played, Smiley. Until our showdown, I don't think I lost more than 2 ships all game.

Same here. I made 3 attacks this game: Spaced, Geo, and then you. The key early game strategy was "avoid becoming a target", in other words, have a low base/fleet strength ratio.
