Gah.  I'm more southwest than I realized -- I'm located at 43x150.  I'll still start moving east/northeast to link up with you guys, though.  W8taminute, where are you at on the map? 


Tech-wise, I think I'll also focus on Shield/Defense research.  OJsDad and Shelldrake, you both have better Construction research than myself (I don't get any research bonuses, just penalties in certain areas), so I'll switch over to something else once we meet.

I love this thread... AAR in real time.
Speaking of which, back to working on my first post...

Hey guys,

Quick update.  I attacked the Walden holding of Provence and had to retreat with no losses.  They have too many ground defenses and my little corvettes can't match firepower of that magnitude.

See screenie below:

Wise decision - those heavy missiles will chew up corvettes in a second. A few devastators should take care of them or you can land ground troops (preferably stormtroopers) to take out the missile defences.

See screenie below:
Looks like I'm facing the same situation at Champagne.  My Corvettes are no match for all those missile batteries! 

Need more (and bigger) ships... 


Incidentally, the AROM tried to purchase my Orbital Scanner Array technology.  I told them to pound sand.  Twits!

In a PBEM game, it doesn't look like I can reload the game once I end my turn, is that indeed the case?

Yes, that's correct.

In my 2-player game with Shelldrake, the Qa-Qa appear to be moving what ships they have left to their 2 southern colonies (good news for Shelldrake, potentially bad news for me!).  I'm moving my main fleet from Cheddar to my southern-most colony of Transjordan to reinforce against any Qa-Qa counterattack. 


In our 3-way game, the Walden have pulled what few ships they have back to their capital; only a lone Assault Ship is still stationed at Champagne.  My fleet is blockading the system, but dares not attack it at this time. 

I've re-established the colony the damned Forest destroyed several turns ago.  This time, it will be defended with a complement of light missile batteries, which should be sufficient to...discourage any more such rash attacks.

I mention this, because I'm wondering if we want to implement a quid pro quo arrangement where I "reserve" the Ideal/Habitable/Aquatic planets in "my" territory for your factions in return for you guys reserving the Irradiated/Venusian ones for me.  I'd like to to know what you guys think about this.  Good idea?  Bad idea? 

Upon further reflection, I'm thinking this might not be such a good idea.  I'd say go ahead and colonize whatever planets you guys want, at least for now.  We can always discuss "cross-border colonization rights" later on when we actually link up.

The Qa-Qa are definitely in trouble. My fleet is currently bombarding the colony directly west of Qa-Quish and I am making preparations to invade the colony to the south. My biggest worry at this point is that the Humans will launch a pre-emptive strike. They are certainly shuffling their fleets in a worrisome fashion.

W8taminute, in our 3 way game my sensors have picked up an AROM fleet moving northwards. Since you are at war with them I doubt that their intentions are friendly. I am surprised that they have not chosen to counter attack the Linkin but if they do hope to give them a hot reception.

^Thanks for the scoop Shelldrake.  I'll re-evaluate my fleets positionings if I can detect that movement.

@OJsDad:  By the way, how are things going with Armada in general?  You feel you're getting the hang of the game?  (And perhaps more importantly, are you enjoying it?)  Like I've said before, I'm happy to answer whatever questions anyone may have (assuming I know the answer, anyway!), so please don't hang back from asking.

W8taminute, if you need to divert your forces to deal with the AROM, please don't hesitate on my account.  It's now clear the Walden have an even weaker navy than myself, and I'm confident I can deal with them on my own.  My main worry at this point is the possibility of the Walden and Teyes ganging up on me, but I judge that as being unlikely to happen (at least for a good while).

Similar to what I told W8taminute, please feel free to redeploy your fleet as you see fit if you're worried about the Humans.  (And given they're way ahead in victory points right now, I'm thinking perhaps *both* of us ought to be at least a little concerned...)  As you pointed out, the Assembly is reeling from your invasion, so I should be able mop up the rest of them with little trouble (if necessary).

I'm doing good so far.  I've got a single player game going also, and learning a lot.  Don't worry, I'll scream for help if I need any  ;D

Shelldrake:


That fleet of 6 AROM ships is headed towards Antioch I think.  I've got 5 Corvettes and two Marines there waiting for them.

Recommend you support your corvettes with some missile silos if you don't have them already.

^Thanks Shelldrake but I fear it's too late.  He hit me with a Destroyer, and Ark Ship, 2 Transports, and 1 Assault Ship.  All 5 of my Corvettes were shot down without inflicting any damage.  Thankfully my 2 Space Marines were able to absorb the bombardment without loss.  I need to rush some ships to Antioch ASAP and drive these intruders away.  Unfortunately the facilities on Antioch cannot produce missile batteries so I will need to transfer some from elsewhere.

Meanwhile I subjugated Syracuse.  They will pay for this outrage.  I think the AROM has only one system left.
