I think we should have the 1st 4 winners in a bracket and the last 4 in a separate bracket as a compromise. That way there's still some excitement in random matchups and we don't have to be at the mercy of the slowest matchup.

As a note, I'm concerned that the monitor/Kzinti BC matchup will take a very long time. The BC most likely isn't ever going to move within 8 hexes of the monitor and a long range exchange will most likely result in only a few shields a turn worn away from each side that can be rotated away.

I'm hoping my game is even slower than the Monitor game Shocked

If it isn't then the Fed either got a lucky photon volley or managed to catch me at a range I shouldn't have been at. Embarassed

On the other hand if all goes well, then my ph2s and pair of so called heavy weapons (TRLs with emphasis on 'L = light') will slowly eat away at the fed shields and finally nobble him in a few months Very Happy

All I'm going to say regarding my game is that I am smacking my forehead already.

We now have winners in three of the eight games and two more are moving nicely.

The current plan for round two is:
Once four games are complete... match those four winners randomly into Round two games.
When games five and six are complete, those two will be matched up.
When seven and eight are complete, those will be matched up.

This should prevent anyone player from having a seriously long down time between games.

If anyone has a complaint or a better idea, please speak up now.
