Game Over. Acendence achieved.

Any of you that want to see my last turn, send me a note to that effect.

Very interesting game concept here. Having no SPs puts quite a twist on the game, IMO.

I stole this one. Ten turns ago, I thought Paul had an insurmountable lead.

Ciao!

It is sung. And it was a steal. Mind you the Consciousness was never in the running.

It is interesting that this is the second PBem game I have recently been involved in where the DA's thru good pacts and tech manouveurs have come out winning.

Congratulations.

Well, congratulations Mong. It was a very interesting game, especially seeing how Krysia's Krusader had enhanced the Gaians above and beyond anything I ever could have done with them (especially in the diplomatic arena).
I think the one mistake I made was outlining to you my employment of the concept of schwerpunkt, and its major weakness - you took full advantage of it to eliminate any riposte I might have offered once you made your move! Oh well, me and my big mouth....
I would have to say I definately recommend the concept of no SP's for future PBEM's - definately a different twist (and strategizing) on the game!

What is schwerpunkt? I never heard of that tactic before.

I think I agree on the no SP angle. It would be nice to be in at the start of any similar, no SP, game set up.

Also I must say my predecessor in this game had the most unusual base naming convention.

Also Mong gave us a lesson in 'Instabuild' which was impressive. Still not sure how he did it.

Schwerpunkt is a German word (or phrase - I'm not sure which)and is associated militarily with centers of control, or power, and essentially can be thought of as a citadel, or built up base with lots of defenders and offensive units that are militarily responsible for control of a region/ front, both offensively and defensively. It is essentially the correct tactic to employ when keeping in mind the phrase "He who defends everything defends nothing".

The English equivalent is, AFAIK, warhead.

Cngratulations Mong. Two weeks in a row I've said that! I was a fairly late replacement but it was still interesting. It did make for a very different game, seemed very quiet up until quite late. It was fun using orbital defense pods & gravships though- don't get to do that too often!
