	Tales From the Rear :D Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Played a galah last night in a 4 way game.

He declared war on me but had no surprise attack planned. All he could do is steal a few techs. He's stuck in Monarchy in the late game researching nothing. I took 3 cities and got the techs to cancel his GL and GW. He's hunkering down in a defensive posture with no clear attacks evident.

Would you declare war and not have immediate decisive atacks planned?

But what do you think of the strategy? The advantages?

He might think he's slowing me down (to let another player win perhaps) but it's just a sideshow. He's even unlikely to steal more techs. His Sun Tzu will be nullified soon too.

well obviously its a **** strategy but i've often done something like this just because i was bored. more interesting defending for your life than just moving cara's around etc.

just to stir things up

Hydey's doing very well in the game in question. I'm not sure how much progress he made the other night with a blood alcohol content of .99, though.

He's doing pretty well. He's on Electronics now but I've taken another route

Do you mean well as in techs finbar? He trails in the pg.

Thankyou finbar

My progress was hampered by pressing the wrong key on the odd occasion and my choise of techs became a matter of "don't try and read just hit enter"

I didn't think it worked like that. But I'm not ignoring anyone (or being ignored ) so I can't really tell.

We aren't missing half the game. That part is called not-war. Much different than peace.

Actually, as far as I'm concerned, peace is a time to grow fat and happy. Not-war is a time to prepare yourself for the inevitable war. I don't consider those the same thing.

Economic war is basicly the same as a war with units.

War is blood and guts.

Not war is not

Peace is politics and diplomacy which is, err not war
