Would you say that D'rek has played a pretty perfect game? Research tracks totally filled up, money and science maxed out, territories coming out the wazoo, cold-hearted betrayal at the right moment...

Of course, she was helped by having Tatts and I as her neighbours

'Perfect' or not, I think it is almost certainly the best game I have ever had of Eclipse and probably the best I ever will have, online or on a table (or on the floor ).

D'rek effectively taking down Orion without building anything more than interceptors with improved hull was pretty impressive this game.

Certainly one of the best games I've seen played.

Now come on lets get this finished so we can start the next game

Tatts had crappy hex draws which helped considerably.

Tatts misplaying the Orion helped considerably in my opinion. Jumping into alliances early was a huge folly. He's the Orion after all. Attack! Attack! Attack! Should have been his mantra.

Yeah Tatts hex draws were actually pretty good for orion (supernova and the double ancient hex would be in my wishlist for any orion play), he just made a few early mistakes, like not attempting to connect with d'rek and khell (which he easily could have if I recall correctly). Then I was really surprised when he allied with Gnaw who would have been easy for him to crush, Orion need to attack someone early and when he didn't it kind of forced my hand. I was hoping to attack Gnaw, but once he allied with Tatts it would have been too difficult as I couldn't deal with the forces the two of them would have been able to bring to bear.

I have been playing eclipse on my ipad. I should have definitely attacked early on. I've won with Orion by being aggressive.

My turn?

D'rek can out move me out build me an out upgrade me. I can still do 2 or 3 moves if I wanted

[twelve]

So Gnaw you confirm your provisional yet?

[Gnaw]

yep. You're up.

[twelve]

Well I've lost regardless. So I can either gain 1 more point by attacking Vega or stay and fight IH in my homeworld but have only a generous 10% chance at retaking my homeworld. (totally pulled that number out of thin air). That is also having a slim chance of killing off population. Stupid missiles. IH got soooo lucky getting those from the ancients. I would have totally blown back through if not for those.

Move Dread and one interceptor to Vega.

Wimp I'll not make a reaction this time

All it would have taken is one reaction from you to drop my 10% chances to <1%. Moving through was my plan all along. I messed up and built one too many interceptors so now I have to bankrupt one hex to afford the new one. I'd still like to have Gnaw "simulate a battle with me adding computers and missiles to my dread and you reacting by adding a double hull over one of your starbases to see how royally I would have been destroyed just for shits and giggles.

[Imperial Historian]

You still have about 1 in 4 chance of failing to take my hex from me, i was thinking of reacting to save vega but it isn't really worth it.

[twelve]

I'm out on vacation the next four days. When it gets back round to me I pass else I'll pull a CF and bankrupt out.

It's painful having to keep all my plans memorized week after week. We need to finish this so I can make room for calculus!

I Keep an excel spreadsheet with my plans written out so I don't have to memorize anything. Though when I screw up it's because I don't refer back to my notes before I go and do something.
