Round 21: Endgame, Part I

Following three rounds of general stagnation and boredom in the great struggle for galactic supremacy, it became clear that the war was about to be decided. With a weary determination to see things end, one way or the other, Overlord Joncha powered up his fleet and hurled it into the teeth of Smiley’s defenses. As it turned out, Smiley’s fleet had stayed at home, so the two superpowers met in a combat involving every ship in the known galaxy.

Joncha’s fleet is defeated and forced to withdraw.

In an unusual turn of events, both fleets chose exactly the same OOB; thus, the issue was decided by firepower. Unfortunately for Joncha, Smiley made superb use of his advantage in lasers, and caused severe damage to Joncha’s fleet before he could retaliate. Although both fleets took enormous casualties, it would be Joncha who was forced to retreat and fight another day.

Will it never end?

[GeneralTacticus]

Not until you kill each other, no. I must say, Smiley's Close In order made all the difference; without it, he'd have been utterly crushed.

[joncha]

Do you want to attack me this round, or shall I attack you again? Let's try to end this without any more shenanigans...

I had back off, but I changed it before I sent in my orders!

[:) Smiley]

ahg, this is where that extra 10% ships would of been useful...

[:) Smiley]

Aight then, It's my turn to attack. Park your ships and prepare for battle! sent.

It feels like we're dueling with elephant guns.

[joncha]

Have at thee, foul miscreant!

My ships have been parked and my orders sent.

Round 22: Endgame, Part II

Following Joncha’s failed attack the previous round, Smiley decided to return the favour, and launched his entire fleet – along with a large number of new laser ships – against Joncha.

Interestingly enough, both fleets chose to use the same OOB as the previous round for the first three rounds. However, the results of this were somewhat different; Joncha had learnt his lesson regarding Smiley’s lasers, and was able to counter them much more effectively. He then proceeded to decimate Smiley’s fleet with mass torpedo barrages into his tightly-packed formation, sending some fighters in for good measure.

When the dust settled, Smiley’s entire fleet was gone, and his bases were left defenceless. A few days later, a letter arrived from Smiley’s capital announcing an unconditional surrender to Joncha’s forces.

ALL HAIL JONCHA, SUPREME OVERLORD OF THE GALAXY!

[GeneralTacticus]

So... anyone want to start the GO IV signup thread?

[:) Smiley]

phew. It's almost 3AM here on the west coast. Great game.

In retrospect, GO would be a better game if it were set up so that there aren't as many early conquests, and a much faster endgame.

[GeoModder]

Ah man, I missed all the fireworks...

Congrats Joncha. You played well.

[Spaced Cowboy]

All hail teh Joncha!

[joncha]

Excellent. My strategy was just to break the alliance... it turned out much better than I expected.

Even with the spy factory tomfoolery, this was a good game.

Well played, Smiley. Until our showdown, I don't think I lost more than 2 ships all game.
