"Apparantly the Vikings had been planning this betrayal for some time..."

I really wish I had more time to plan this a little more. My attack was actually pretty rushed, because I feared everybody would call it quits, before I got the chance to smash a few things. So I just pulled everything together real quick and charged. My initial fleet was well trained, but outdated. Heck, some of them were still using DUCs and armor. On the other hand my newly build ships, don't perform nearly as well as my veterans. Note: A DUC at the hand of an expert is ten times worth a PPB in the hand of a rookie (but I guess you all know this already

)

Anyway, the wrath of the Dragons is taking its toll. I reckon there will be a major battle next month that could end my objectives of pesting the Dragons a little more

. After that I'll pull all my ships together to make a Last stand and we'll all go to Valhalla.

Dragonlord has just destroyed one of my fleets that attempted to strike into his mainland just short before reaching its target. If everybody agrees, it is okay for me to end this game now. If not, I still have another fleet

...

Anyway, it's been a pleasure, even though I didn't interact with most of you until late in the game. This being one of my first PBW games I sure learned a lot.

Aye, I enjoyed the bit of spice Rollo added to the end fase, once again I was eager to see the next turn come in and see If I had hunted down his fleet yet or if he would do more damage. He came dangerously close to my core mineral planet (80k production)! I even started closing warp points to force any of his stray ships to go through my kill zone if he really wanted to strike at my core planets.

It's been a good game and I for one learned a lot. I too am now ready to call it quits, and free up some time for my next game: Diplowar II.
