Does this mean I've actually
won? Did I get that right - this is my first PBEM victory? Woohoo!
No, seriously - massive thanks to both for a great game. It was very evenly balanced a long way through it - the game was for the taking.
2241 was the major turning point. My attack on XWaste really broke the mould - both diplomatically and militaristically. The game was very quickly running away from me at that point, with Googlie well ahead in research, and I had to do something about it.
As it turned out, Googlie didn't replace the military he gave to help XWaste, and I saw this as my chance. I took the decision to nuke the CBA, simply because otherwise, the Gaian bases were completely impenetrable. I felt this would give me the upper hand, given my superior military, and was able to nuke another big base nearby, thanks to a conveniently placed crawler
and because of XWaste's lack of Space Complexes, his bases were relatively easy to occupy.
Anyway, that was how I saw the game - it remains one of the most riveting I have ever played - gotta love playing the bad guy
Huge thanks to XWaste for setting this up, anyway, and to Googlie for being so trusting
- I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
