Doesn't look like the Fight to the Death command will matter, but it's still an extraordinarily long battle given the odds.

Shoot. I just realized I should have attacked with my whole fleet. If someone had attacked me this turn, I would have been dead anyways. DOH!

Finally, after two years and eleven rounds of combat, Skanky's fleet is finally crushed by the Hercules leviathan.

However, in the final battle he still managed to damage the enemy fleet sufficiently to outweigh the gains from his bases in a tactical tour de force.

I agree. He(Skanky Burns) completely countered/bettered my order of battle. I won though shear might. But his 6 planets were too hard to resist, to not going back again. Especially after my previous defeat.

I reckoned with his early posting he was bluffing on a shield.

The only reason Year Five is so high is because that is when Atragon attacked me, and took out half my fleet.

I almost took down your whole fleet darnit. Why didn't you make the (logical) decision to close in?

I'm still waiting for a head-on fight between two or more of those monster fleets.

Finally my navy proves its worth.

I actually forgot to spend three BPs on my attack on Ljube - a stupid mistake, but it saved my tiny empire.

Just one battle this round, but it is one heck of a battle. Nearly half the firepower in the galaxy is involved.

First an important non-battle.

Lord Nuclear and Hercules finally declared a united front, and made a full scale attack with their entire fleets on Joncha.

Joncha, however, was nowhere to be seen. The two leaders parked their ships into low orbit and deployed swarms of black helicopters, liberating Joncha's sixteen colonies and subjugating his three homeworlds.
