Okay, so had a bit of a skirmish last round - and I wrote a bit of commentary just so that you new-age attackers can see, that a proper NAP war is the funnest thing you can experience in IC.

Just posting here so you guys can see how things happened ...it was fun for me ...(but yes, its really nerdy -_-)

More people need to do this, and you'll realise how awesome it is

Torqez vs Blue

--------------------------

Incase you were interested, we just had a nice little skirmish   You can see the reports in Fam news, but they don't really paint a good picture

This is how a proper cancellation war is supposed to be like.  Anyway just explaining it for you guys a bit so you see how it went ...Lucky I was online to do what I needed to - i dindt know he jumped tho, so he had first strike.

Blue      Ivory Bow      12220749gc    50

vs

Torqez      Camaar      7094647gc    226
600k Figs, 1.8m Droids, 0 Soldiers

I can't attack him cos I have no morale atm, having cleared Ultraviolet.  So playing defense for now.  Bound to lose portals, but thats how its played.

In the fight we also lost 55717 fighters 189 soldiers 179591 droids

Bang! I unstation my figs, he doesn't suspect at all and sent in full fleet.  Got to have taken a hit there on trannies and ground.  He still has plenty that land, so takes the planet still.  No worries, dmg to fleet is more important, I still have plenty of portals near him.
Blue = 1 Fig Hit, 3 Portals.  Torqez = 1 Fullfleet unstation.

--> 8th Hit:
Week 47, 21    Defense Report
Our planet 5 at x:85, y:21 was attacked by Blue of family 3149, I am pleased to say that we with our forces extraordinary fighting skill were able to fight the attackers off our planet.
In the fight we lost 1773 fighters

Since I pulled my figs on him, he wants to try run them again (having taken losses on droids).  I had stationed them again, so he hits nothing.

-->  9th Hit:
Week 47, 21    Defense Report
Our planet 5 at x:85, y:21 was attacked by Blue of family 3149. Our defending forces fought bravely but I am sorry to say that they after a long bloody fight had to flee the planet.
In the fight we also lost 52162 fighters 61 soldiers 58270 droids

I unstation again, JUST in time ...again he sends full fleet in without thinking I would pull my figs.  Look at the droid loss now of mine.  First portal lost was 206k, this hit he only killed 58k.  Definitely took a hit on his ground twice.
Blue = 1 Fig Hit, 3 Portals.  Torqez = 2 Fullfleet unstation.

--> 10th Hit:
Week 47, 21    Defense Report
Our planet 12 at x:96, y:17 was attacked by Blue of family 3149, I am pleased to say that we with our forces extraordinary fighting skill were able to fight the attackers off our planet.
In the fight we lost 52 fighters

Having hit his ground yet again, he again tests for figs.  I'm smart and station before this hit again.  Knowing he's bound to test with figs only.

-->  11th Hit:
Week 47, 21    Defense Report
Our planet 12 at x:96, y:17 was attacked by Blue of family 3149, I am pleased to say that we with our forces extraordinary fighting skill were able to fight the attackers off our planet.
In the fight we lost 36 fighters

Now, knowing his pattern, I kept them stationed for two hits.  He knows I unstation after 1 check, so he checks again.  I till have my figs stationed.

-->  12th Hit:

In the fight we lost 49032 fighters 29 soldiers 27976 droids

Ooooops, guess he didn't think I'd unstation after the 2nd fig hit   AAgain full fleet into my figs, this time he didn't have enuff to break my ground.  Heavy droid losses.
Blue = 1 Fig Hit, 3 Portals.  Torqez = 3 Fullfleet unstation.

--> 14th Hit:
In the fight we lost 856 fighters

Fig check.  I only have s portal left, so its just a matter of time.  He'll win if he doesnt have to go thru figs.

--> 15th Hit:
In the fight we lost 46263 fighters

I unstation...wrongly ...Another fig hit.  Good move on his part.
Blue = 2 Fig Hits, 3 Portals.  Torqez = 3 Fullfleet unstation.

--> 16th Hit:
In the fight we lost 1720 fighters

Stationed now, losing figs hurts so not worth it - would rather lose the 2 last portals.

--> 17th Hit:
In the fight we lost 1204 fighters

Still checking

--> 18th Hit:
In the fight we lost 843 fighters

Got him really paranoid, lol.

He sends full figs and not all ground - can't even break my droids. With that makeup.

In the fight we lost 35 fighters

Again testing for figs.  I had them stationed as don't wanna take the risk of him hitting my figs .  I have plenty of portals in the area, plenty of tickers, so not worth losing figs now.

Another fig hit.  I havn't unstationed in a while now and I know he's anxious to take out the last portal. ...so I unstation

--> 23rd Hit:

Bang.  Full fleet unstation again.  Ofcourse at this point my figs are hurting, but he lost a lot of ground again as he fullfleeted.  He took the last portal, but not without having to go through my figs.

Blue = 2 Fig Hits, 5 Portals.  Torqez = 4 Fullfleet unstation.

Now to see networth drops of what he lost exactly

---------

That my friends is a lil example on how a battle can go in a NAP war.  It's fun as hell.  The only exhilerating thing in IC imo.  Because you don't know what's going to happen or how to handle it - and more importantly, it's all happening real time.

In summary I took 5 portal losses, but he had more fleet.  Meanwhile I unstationed on him where I could.  he did well to hit my figs twice.  In a proper NAP war if I was the main fig guy, I'd have enuff figs to wipe out his entire droid fleet in one go if i unstationed.  Similarly, if a Fig guy caught my figs, I'd lose 30% of all my figs on a max hit more than likely.  Either way, its fun and unpredictable and a lot of strategy behind it too

Entire wars are decided like this in the first tick, based on who handles their fleet the best.

Anyway, end result?

Week 47, 21
ye i lost all my fleet on ur figs :'(

...not bad for being on the defense!  Killed 2.3m of his fleet   ...not a lot compared to what he has, but a huge step towards it.  Now the battle of instants is over and it moves to tickers.
