dont worry - it worked out quite well for you - sheesh.

was waiting to get your fleet in that spot - had a great shot on it with a safe retreat.  oh well.

i call it the “curse of the clever” it hits me so many times.  that was about a 100 ipc swing from expected or so.

so we play on!

EDIT - want two more infs in FIC

@wittmann:

Good luck.

Thanks!!  :-P

no worries - take your time.  i made the attack because even if it went poorly i still had the advantage.  if it went well, it would have swiftly ended the game.

have a great day!
