  • Tacticus bunched. He's ****ed.

      Yes. Also, under "What to do when comprehensively outnumbered, outweaponed, and outmanoeuvred", his advice was "Don't have a battle". Wish I'd followed that here.

        And, just to rub it in, the allies spread out.

        I shall have the tailors start working on a giant white flag immediately.

          That settles that, then.

          If it's any consolation, I was almost ready for a triple bluff anticipatory MLL closed in approach, but then realised how stupid I'd look.

          And then again, devising a good defensive OOB where the hostile is an unknown is very tricky.

          • A brute force MLL close spread should have been fine as well.

            • Oh. Kind of uplifting to know my backup plan was good too.

              • Yeah, it wouldn't have caused quite the asskicking this OOB will bring, but it would have got the job done.

                Anyway, my big mistake was in hitting you with a spy last turn instead of this turn. If I'd done it this turn, Skanky would be facing me alone, and things would look very different.

                • Last round I suspected you would be shielding, hence the assault on this round, especially after you used a spy the last. Once in a while the coincidences turn in our favour - although I have a nagging feeling that I have a bunch of frigate pinged bases waiting for me back home.

                  • I wonder what's taking this long. Maybe joncha's looking for a suitable image of a nuclear explosion, or barring that, working on the lens flare.

                                GeneralTacticus is defeated.

                                Kassiopeia and Skanky Burns gain 5 bases each.
