Joncha doesn't need Murraying. Kass on the other hand, looks like the strongest contender for galactic overlord at this stage.

Does that count as an anti-Murray?

[:) Smiley]

Doc, you're slipping, all you're doing is counting bases. Further analysis would reveal that GT, while having fewer bases than Kass, has more production.

[DrSpike]

Uh, the murray has never ever been based on logic. It just always works.

Turn 4 - Big gamble


Pretty uneventful turn. Everyone building. Only one big gamble. Whoha tried to catch Skanky Burns off guard. And he nearly succeeded. However, once more an adequately chosen OoB saved Skanky’s neck:

Battle 1: Whoha attacks Skanky Burns
Whoha: 50TF + 1TF damaged, 30FF, OoB: TTF-FLL, back off, normal
Skanky Burns: 1LT, 1FT, 1TT, 5LD, 5FD, 5TD, 1LF, 1FF, 1TF, OoB: FTL-LFT, normal, normal

50T – 52F – Whoha takes 2 hits
50T – 26T – Skanky Burns takes 24 hits
30F – 26L – Skanky Burns takes 4 hits

Whoha loses 1 torpedo frigate, and Skanky Burns loses 1 carrier frigate, 3 carrier dreadnaughts and one of his carrier dreadnaughts is damaged.

30F – 26L – Skanky Burns takes 4 hits
0L – 9F – Whoha takes 9 hits
0L – 52T – Whoha takes 52 hits

Skanky’s already damaged carrier dreadnaught is further damaged, while Whoha loses additional 30 torpedo frigates to a total of 32 torpedo frigates lost (including the damaged one).
Whoha is defeated and he must withdraw, but where?

It proves to be nowhere, because Spaced Cowboy has already taken control of Whoha's bases.
Whoha remains baseless.

[joncha]

Wait... did you get rid of the fleet-without-bases rules?

[Ljube]

The rule is only applied if the fleet runs into a shield.

[joncha]

Why should that make a difference to the fleet?

[Ljube]

The rules say so. Previously (in GO1) such a fleet would be lost.

[Whoha]

how about making my fleet fight to the death then?

Yes, which is why it was changed a couple of games ago...

[Ljube]

Whoha's idea is excellent. I suggest a rule change:

Any fleet that loses a combat and also loses home bases fights to the death.

Fleets that run into a shield stay alive without bases.

[joncha]

I really don't understand why they wouldn't stay alive without bases in this case too, but you're the GM...

[Ljube]

Since this situation is not covered by the rules, I thought it was proper to apply the former rule which was broader.
