Then running them into w1 not only made it easier for Kushan to defend it also made Talon's easier to attack. Talon's though has 1 definititive advantage they get to fight a defensive war which is a bitch to overcome. As well if Talon's has any sort of strategic ambition they already have all their resources in warp 1 and can move them around a bit as needed to build in certain high traffic galaxies as a way to make a much smaller force into a much more imposing enemy.
Talon's does have one definite hope for victory though, they pose almost know threat to Kushan as an offensive force. However, kushan knowing they are the favored combatant sit in a very sensitive position. They will be much more vulnerable to attacks on morale because they will be confident in their ability to win so if you can counter them at every turn combined with cheap strategic attacks in w1 using bases and perma drones in places like FM or outside of areas like absol and underworld you can make very successful attacks that while they have no real concrete strategic effect they do wonders for morale killing. Kushan = Fail... They Tried to take the galaxy with 1 shitty auged Andaman Kit.

Re: Phoenix Talon's first big war
Way cool, XD. Time Warp, we do not fail. We set 1 T16 base, and it dead. Yeah, that doesn't mean we fail. It's like TW setting 1 T20 base to bvb DM, and it dies. TW doesn't fail. They just don't want to use many resources. As we don't want to use many resources for this war. And that shitty auged T16 kit out dps that galaxy.

Re: Phoenix Talon's first big war
That was the product of my boredom/rambling. Anyway TW the failure was, in my opinion, the product of the confidence in their inevitable victory I referred to earlier. If you consider yourself superior to your enemy you get sloppy. However, after you lose something as a result of it you get smarter(and lose a bit of morale ). Which makes Pheonix Talons situation even more interesting because with every victory they make their enemy more intelligent and thus more effective. Kushan is in relatively the same position though, because they are the agressors every second they allow PT(finally decided on what to call Pheonix Talons!) to survive they will become more and more effective at countering Kushan with the war developing into an interminable stalemate.
I.E. LC vs TW/DM, in all honesty DM, at the very beginning of the first war DM(& JAWSS) had with LC, had the necessary players and strength to sweep through LC's gals in one fell swoop. In reality though DM started with a series of disorganized attacks utilizing quantity of players and almost entirely ignoring any strategic organization that could have brought them an easy victory. LC lost 2 bases to this but eventually figured out what they needed to do to stop DM's progress. As time progressed the attacks increased in sophistication, moving away from disorganized assaults and making very good use of attacking 2 galaxies at once to split the defensive force. All of these attempts fell short though in that they had in earlier assaults prepared their enemy for what was to come. After that it took 2 years and almost no real assaults until a stunningly brilliant assault was organized by Tallon that swept through 20+ allied galaxies in a matter of hours uncontested. Why was this so effective when other similar assaults had failed? Because Tallon had the advantage of an opponent who had grown over confident and unprepared, and he didn't hit with the half assed force you would expect to take on an unprepared enemy with. He hit with everyting he had, using all he could get from within his own team and DM. So just like with that war, Kushan and PT will have to realize that the victor of this will not be the one who attacks most it will be those that make smarter attacks and better organized attacks based upon their available resources.
Mmkay, I'm gonna try to cap my rambling at that.

Time Warp How about we make it fun and take bets? I'll put 20b on Kushan and 20b on PT(because I'm poor and stingy and can't stand the thought of losing money).

Time Warp Okay but only if you can get the entirety of SP to do it with you and get EF to be on Kushan's side, would be epic. We should probably stop spamming eh? Especially since you're a mod and all...
