Hercules strikes again while Paddy awaits at base. No shields stand in the way this time.

Herc's torpedoes are boosted against Paddy's lasers... but there are a lot of lasers and the range is close. Can Herc escape Lazorgeddon?

Strangely, Paddy has torpedoes in one of his opening salvos, despite his lack of torpedo ships. Some damage is taken.

Yep, next time is over for Hercules it seems.

Btw, why is Herc's second torp salvo smaller then his first? Losses are only calculated after the first round?

The second salvo is smaller since torpedoes were doubled against lazors in the first.

Third round... somehow Herc manages to cheat Lazorgeddon. But that's not going to be enough.

Admist all the carnage of the last three rounds, the fourth round is a surprising calm. Herc's lazers are gone, while Paddy never had any torpedoes to begin with.

In any case, the game will last another round for sure. Paddy still has to pay his bases a visit.

Paddy's fleet now weighs in at just over 400 tons, about 8 times Herc's industrial capacity.

Might I also add that Paddy has a spy and Herc has no spies or shields?

This makes no sense? Paddy could have forced Herc to stay home with the spy and attack him then.

Btw Smiley, now that I think of it. How comes you can post pics larger then 800x600 dpi?

I'm trying to work out if its mathematically possible for Herc to win.

Assuming Paddy spies him to keep him there and attacks with everything... and spends all his BPs on Torpedo ships to be safe with the OoB...

Herc cannot actually win.

Hey, congratulations to Paddy the Scot, Galactic Overlord.

I don't think it would have mattered as Paddy sent in a bigger fleet to take me....if he specified fight whoever is there that is.

I can't believe that i didn't take out paddy, the turn after I wacked into his shield.

I smacked you down but good, and yet here you are the Galactic Overlord... you certainly earned your title.

	Got spare money?

Yes, Paddy had two major setbacks and in spite of that he won.

I think the animosity that exists among the vets (their own private conflicts) and poor decisions by Lord Nuclear and Hercules paved the way for Paddy's Overlordship. May he rule our galaxy till the end of time.
