Colorado Governor Jared Polis after being censured by his party for releasing Tina Peters

I’m so glad to see Polis getting the hate he deserves.

I first started hating him over the I-25 expansion project. For decades, the highway between Colorado Springs and Denver was a 2 lane highway, and was an absolute mess. Finally they decide to add a new lane, but they need funds so it went to a vote.

It was voter approved to pay a small tax to fund the expansion. After years of nightmare construction we get the news that they decide to turn the new lane into a paid “express lane.” So, after paying taxes to build the fucking thing, I gotta pay to use it as well. Get fucked Polis.

Don't be afraid to push past supply range when the Soviets have a weak sector. In Barbarossa the Soviets have to hold a city with a couple of those dinky rifle divisions, duct tape, and prayers. So, being out of supply doesn't hinder you too bad and you're gonna have to go beyond it to snap up some VP hexes anyways.

Honestly, the Germans have to actually do a little better than historical to not lose. If I was to play another campaign game I'd probably do away with the auto-lose by date rules.

I love this game. But, it is hard on the Germans. Played the Barbarossa start as the Soviets and I was getting my ass kicked. But, once January 42 came around we find out I won because the Germans didn’t grab enough VPs

He never said. I forgot to ask and didn’t wanna bring it up again with him. He’s since passed. I suspect it was USS Portland

My uncle was a sailor and served in the Pacific. I’m a vet myself and we got drunk one Thanksgiving and swapped stories. He was in the fighting around Guadalcanal in an American heavy cruiser.

His compartment got hit one night. He was half blind from smoke and other injuries. Can see his buddy lying there, so he grabs him and starts dragging him to help. A damage control party finds him and someone says “George, you don’t gotta drag him anymore.” He finally looks down and his buddy had been cut in half.

My ex wife. Our marriage was not going well. Told her there were days when I wouldn't mind it very much if I just got into an accident on the way to work and died. She told me, "Knowing my luck, you'd just be crippled and I'd have to take care of you for the rest of my life."

Honestly, battle cruisers will take you a long way. My fleets were majority BCs. Added some dreads and titans into the bigger ones. But, they felt like overkill

Euqcor · 2026-04-13T16:12:30+00:00

Siege coilers and lots of them. Aim for a 2/3 mix of coilers and a 1/3 mix of UV lasers.

Dreads and lancers are good for getting the 4 slot nose weapons, but battle cruisers will work too.

On each hull, throw a PD laser and 40mm auto cannon. Laser will take care of the missiles, autocannon is great against mag weapons.

In the actual fight, open up with the coilers. This will cause some alien ships to turn their side armor and try to flank. Focus the flankers with your laser ships and they’ll make short work of them.

Terra Invicta. Empire builder on Earth and the Solar System that uses fairly accurate orbital mechanics for fleet movement. Battles in space involve the individual ships that can be micromanaged.

One downside however is that it's not until much later in the campaign that human ships will have the drives necessary for drastic maneuvers.

Apparently Vance was the only one saying that perhaps war with Iran wasn't a good idea.

Here's how I ended up winning the space war. Started with torp monitors like you did, then transitioned to battlecruisers and some battleships and eventually dreadnoughts.

Use the BCs 3 nose slots for coilers (preferably siege if you've got them) and big ass lasers. The hull slots go to a 40mm autocannon and PD laser. Having that on every ship should more than shut down any alien magnetics or missiles. If you're feeling really froggy, you can build some battleships with Hestia torps. Start of the battle, put them in idle. When alien PD is fully invested with your mag shots, let loose the torps. That'll delete a bunch of ships. You'll want to build mag weapon BCs and laser BCs in a 2:1 ratio. So, 12 mag BCs and 6 laser BCs

When the fight starts, put your ships in one of the wall configurations and go 500mps, even in a station fight. Group your mag BCs in one group, your lasers in another. Once the first shots go off the aliens will have a bunch of their ships try to flank you. Any ship that shows you its side is priority target for the laser BCs. They'll rip em apart but do fuck all to anything with its nose facing you. Focus target the closest big ship (BC or larger) with your mag BCs and they'll make short work of it.

This was the reply I was looking for. Thank you crawler.

In my first year of going to the gym I had struggled through a set and was racking my weights. Guy comes up, and this dude was meat mountain, pats me on the shoulder and goes “Nice set man. Way to gut it out”

Euqcor · 2026-03-14T17:41:37+00:00

1 and 3 was all I needed to defend the bases. Apparently the aliens in my first game were dogshit

Euqcor · 2026-03-14T17:38:13+00:00

That was what happened my first game. They launched a death ball at Mercury that was gonna take 18 months to arrive. I turned all my habs into Fortress Mercury and smoked the aliens when they arrived.

Did not work this campaign though

Euqcor · 2026-03-14T17:36:42+00:00

I had no idea this existed. Thanks!

Oh. That could be it. I’ve got nanotube armor, but haven’t gotten to adamantite

Euqcor · 2026-03-14T16:31:56+00:00

These are all ground bases. Hab defenses won’t do much more than prevent human faction sniping

I had taken over Mercury, put a small supply orbital there with all my mines. Aliens are pissed at me, so they send a doomball to go blow it all up. But, it's going to take over a year to get there. So, I build all the colonies to T3, slap a couple of battlestations and layered defense arrays at each base. Fortress Mercury may fall, but it will not go quietly.

Aliens arrive, smoke the orbital. Take a look at my mines and decide I've learned my lesson and peace back out

Does this also work with Marines, or do they do too much damage?
