Can't wait for a full battle up date, I'm glad to see some clan activity with the game and hope it continues and builds.

are you talking now about us?

If you are then i want to mention that we surrenderd when it was obvious that we lost.

Ok so here is a full report from my perspective, after the obvious initial colonisation.

Essentially the battle for me was over the volcanic world and asteroid on the front lines. I was keen to hold the volcanic in particular, given the lack of metal on map (as Advent I wasn't up for competing with Vasari over Belts).

My flagship was lost due to unfortnuate timing of the save and reload - during the time I saved the game the flagship was heavily hit, although at least in position to phase out, but when the game reloaded the stubborn thing span around to face the odds again! I just managed to get it out but it was quickly finished off by Eets' waiting bomber squadron at the other end of the phase lane.

I had been aiming for a shield spam strategy but losing the mothership kind of upset things, so I replaced it with a Radiance, hoping it would count for more in a straight out fight. It was taken down faster than a pro-democracy website in China by three lvl 4 caps plus Eets Enforcers(!), which he had teched to without us noticing. Having noticed (and fretted over) Hobo's fast Assailant spam I had teched to Defenders and hoped Rokkit and Therlun would be able to handle the caps and Enforcers, but facing the caps and Enforcers was too much, plus Therlun had to retreat to handle some pirates, and although the Defenders performed admirably against the Assailants and Javelis, it wasn't enough and the volcanic was lost.

From here I had no cap, little metal and no fleet, but plenty of crystal and cash, so I researched Guardians and Illuminators and began (slowwwwly) building up a new fleet, more to support one of the other guys than to stand up by itself. But by the time I had even a small number of ships together we'd lost even more ground, and found ourselves out numbered, out eco'd, out cap'd, and on the retreat on all fronts, so decided to surrender rather than force a long drawn out defeat.

We really didn't do a good job on this one. We failed on scouting, and didn't co-ordinate well enough as a team. Our initial expansion would have served us well had we managed to hold onto it, but GE responded too quickly and were a step ahead on strategy throughout the entire game.

Grats to GE, but although you may have won this star, the Rebels and Yanks are far from defeated.

cuz that = win now

I'd expect this kind of thing from some people, but not two long time beta testers bitter about losing some games. If you want to complain about anything, make the 200th "This unit is overpowered" thread instead of trolling in this one.

Sounds like this was a good match, I'll watch the replay when I get home

It is good news to see the community finally had a real event. I look forward to reading all the AAR from both sides. Anyway, you guys forced me to get off my ass and get the archives going. So you will find the record here.

cause i definitely hadnt done it before, nor had i see other players use it, you were definitely the first person.

also, just because you believe it is imba, doesnt mean it automatically is

shoddy cant have an opinion in this one, since he would have to agree with either me or multi, both of which would be intolerable for him

lordkosc here is a hint, the other side had no bombers!

The point is it's incredibly and utterly rude to barge into an AAR thread for a game you didn't play and insult any team by saying they had a free win because they got "insert overpowered ship of the day" tech.
