Draconis Cluster Warp War Campaign
Turn 8 results

Resolver comments(Indy/POTW):
Note: this is an interim report, while we await the results of the battle at Alphard. Once resolved, I’ll edit-update this report and put up an updated map. In the meantime we can start thinking about turn 9. :) - Mk

A couple of interesting developments this turn. The BASH push a task force into Alphard just as the SMIRS build up a defensive TF (see battle report below). Meanwhile, the ‘giant chickens’ pay a visit to the SMIRS system Canopus, having heard there was supposed to be a cow party there, but find it empty of SMIRS vessels or cows.

The SMIRS are currently the economic powerhouse of the campaign, having more than double the BP to that of the economically weakest empire. The POTW have started closing the economic gap, but due to poor systems, maintain in a distant third place. The RHONE empire remains mostly quiescent and quiet, building an enormous BP reserve in Altair, but finally send a unit down to check out Procyon. The BASH have a healthy economy, but it is 2/3 that of the SMIRS. With this view, it is only a matter of time before the Green Spandex Leader is ousted and the Red Spandex Pants Party re-asserts itself to run rampage throughout the Cluster…
