How you're going to delay the end if the enemy is crushing you? And the crusher has no reason to delay the game.

Ah, yes that is probably what he meant. I can see how that might be possible. The crushee could slow the game by simply not playing their turns. Although I hope noone would do such a thing. I doubt it will happen, but if it does I'll deal with it.

Submit turns slowly of course.

True, that can be done. But I think/hope nobody here would do so. And of course the game can be put on fully automatic and short turn time (though now automatic turns are off).

or colony ship in the nebulae - or simply wait till Last planet is destroyed

The League (my Empire) surrenders to Joachim after 48 turns and the arrival of two enemy fleets in my systems. He has more ships, more planets, more resources (even if I may have better ships, but they won't turn the tables on their own), and I cannot hope to get back to the offensive.

My main mistake was to delay mines for too long, allowing him to strike at random in my Empire, and these mines would have allowed me to take perhaps an additional system here or even two. In a galaxy with less than twenty systems, quite a few non-colonizable, it would have been welcomed. Since then I was fighting to catch up, but I was too far behind to really stand much of a chance as highlighted by the current battle results.

So Joachim will have to challenge the King. May Lady Luck shine on Joachim, for he will need it.
