Have been watching Markus building up for the last month. He was on my list to relieve him of his fleet and resources. Got a tip from Gozar yesterday that his fleet was down. So I probed and found the fleet down and a bonus - about 50 Million resources too. I waited until the activity cleared up and launched my RIPs at his fleet and a BC fleet at one of his planets with resources. Almost half-way to his planet, I saw activity - probed and saw he was moving his fleet and resources. I recalled and waited another couple of hours.

Again, I probed his planets and found that the resources had been moved, but his fleet was back. Launched again, and this time a battle ensued...

Nice hit Torgard! Too bad you didn't get the res that he was storing. Glotr Markus, who know's who's next?

Nice hit Tor too bad you didn't get the resources but its nice to see you can crash a good turtle shell to get the yummy gooey center

GLoTR Markus
