When you said three months did you mean three months of real time spent playing through or the battle in game took three months in the fictional universe?

Three months real time, starting a couple of weeks before I posted part 1! With a couple of weeks out for Christmas. The last action took place early on Wednesday evening, capture of the mining colonies, but I had already prewritten the outcome and only required the date stamp (fortunately it went according to plan, who said no plan survives contact with the enemy ;D). But that time was approx. 10.5 years game time and included trying to build 70 cruisers in the middle of a gallicite crash shortly joined by a uridium crash.  I really wish Steve hadn't doubled the gallicite cost of engines and removed the duranium requirement. I no longer suffer duranium crashes.  ::)
