He's like Beetlejuice*... say his name three times and he appears.



*not to be confused with the star Betelguese.

It's that he's too busy with preping for "The TT" and ticked off The Little Folk in the process.  ;D

Hi Steve,

I've just discovered this game a couple of weeks ago and I've fell immediatly in love with !   :D

At first glance it made me think to two strategy-games I liked a lot, Harpoon and Stars !
Even more so, while reading this AAR, I got the feeling I've found a 4x which finally convey me the same "epic building feeling" I only had with an old board wargame upon which I've spent so many long nights and days, solo-playing, modifing or just dreaming: Imperium by GDW.

I just feel the need to tell you how much I appreciate both your game and your writings.

Best regards

Awesome AARs both this one and Trans-Newtonian campaign.   Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to say that this is a fantastic AAR! You've captured the tone and thought processes of the respective sides perfectly and reading through all seventeen parts yesterday I found myself unable to stop reading until I had finished due to the engrossing universe you've created.  Suffice to say I shall be looking forward to the next part immensely.  :)

While not unreasonable given recent events, made from a position of strength and given the Eridan's President track record, likely to be backed, isn't this change in policy above an Admiral's pay grade?

That is a valid point. While I could argue it was a situation they had already discussed, I decided to build the above comment into the next episode :)

I assume the Soviets had their fleet prepared to move into Sol. Its a pity that the Jiangwei's had been withdrawn. I was hoping to see them in use.

To be honest, when the Queen/Behemoth was found heading to Earth, and the Russians planned to let the Eridani deal with it - I had the horrible thought of the Eridani going - "Why? We only have a small population in Sol - you deal with it!" (Just to watch the Russians faces)  ;D 

I didn't think this would happen, as the Eridani are sort of allied with the Chinese. On the other hand, the Soviets didn't know that the Eridani fleet was close by. What would have happened if the Monitors hadn't been able to stop the Queen and the entire Eridani Navy was engaged with hostiles 6-7 jumps down the system?

I felt sorry for the Soviets near the beginning, and when they were getting their asses handed to them.

Perhaps the Rusiians are the new chinese?  :)

But then again, I'm a bit of a ba$#@rd....
