    Jonny, did you Bunch or Spread?

    Smiley did the calculations as if he spread. He just put Bunch on the first few images.

    edit: Now I see smiley's note above round one. Didn't notice that before.

    Jonny was spread, I just screwed up because I've slept for about 8 hours in the last three days.

    Here is something to think about
    Betrayal is not a matter of if, but when.


    Had Vetko brought his entire fleet, things hmight have gone slightly differently. However, he had left forty torpedo frigates at home, where they now faced Polly's entire force.

    Prepared for the possibility of facing Vetko's entire fleet, Polly had prepared a maneuvered Lazorgeddon. This allowed Vetko to squeeze in some minor damage, but it was far too little to do more than just dent the enemy.

    With a crushed fleet and no bases, Vetko found himself as the third member of the baseless club.

    Chapter 20.5
    Balance of Power


    Here is something to think about
    You can't win a war any more than you can win an earthquake.
    While Mr. Y had survived both a shield impact and a rogue attack, it was not a clean war. Indeed, the quagmire had weakened his forces by 25%, erasing most of his edge against the Socialist bloc. With Kit's comrades ahead in the production race, the military edge would be lost in just a few more years.

    Furthermore, Vetko was baseless, armed, and dangerous. Things looked bleak.

    --------------

    Still, the capitalists were living large compared to most of the galaxy. Three powers had been reduced to refugees, while a fourth hung onto a single captured base. Whereas previously the two superpowers controlled 2/3rds of the galaxy's firepower, that number had since climbed to almost 75%.

    I think we should make randomly sitting out in space for more than one turn count as death. This is just getting stupid.

    GO2 rules seem to have removed this problem quite sufficiently. People are dropping like flies in that.

    Hmmm...I'd say it's no longer possible for the little guys to band together against the giants; the differences are just too big. The only hope is a big battle between the superpowers.

    I think that you should get three tries to get some bases back, else your tanks run out of fuel and you have to walk back to Germany.

    I think we go with GO2 rules rather than try to tinker with GO1.n rules again.

    I'm not totally sure I like all of the Go2.0 rules yet, we seem to have lost the 24 bp for bases 7-12.

    And the strangeness of having to always leave the base at home means 2 on 1 attacks can sometimes even be won by the defender, but at the expense of making a single attack less successful.

    I'm not a fan of GO2. Jettison M, D and seperate defensive OoBs, and tweak the attrition rules, and GO1 is just fine, thanks.

    Attrition rules need not exist. In GO1 baseless fleets were eliminated. Why not return to that?
