Well the first week into the war now and are initial attacks went extremmely well but what I've now come to realize is, taking the sectors isn't the problem but holding it is.
Ok so after saying that well I've had to re-think the whole war if I want to take and hold these sector as whats been happening is my forces are being gradually whittled down by Terran resistance forces just doing constant hit and run attacks on my weaker fighter groups so now its time to use all that wealth of mine stored in all these bloody huge complexs I have and build a huge armada to take and hold each sector we move into with a very stong battle group to defend are position from enemy incursions.
Right after saying that you can understand whats been going on then in the last couple of days.
First of all I was getting fed up with my fleets getting weakened this way so I called back all of my battle groups to are beach-head in Neptune to re-arm and strengthen are forces.

As you can see here are forces are amassed around my base of opperations in neptune and I've setup a sat network to keep an eye on enemy movements in this sector so as to prevent suprise attacks and upto date we have only lost 2 fighters in the last 2 days as the Terran attacks are now very rare on my Beach-head as the forces there are just to strong for any Terran fleet to deal with.

And there going to get a dam site stonger in the next few days too

My Last little shopping trip to Omni. I just bought another 6 carriers with full compliment of fighters.
6 Colossus's and 360 L Nova Raiders. I'll let you work out what the bill came to.
Hmm now I've got to get them fitted out tho
At the moment are forces in terran space amounts to the following;
5 fully equiped M1 Colossus's with full strength fighter wings.
7 Heavily armed distroyers with 30+ fighter escorts to protect them.
My Bomber fleet consisting of an M7M and 10 M8's all fully armed and stabled aboard bomber command acompanied by there TL supply ship.
Right the plan now is to amass such a force that no amount of Terran incursions will stop us.
I plan on stabling a M2 with its fighter group and an M1 to escort her and alocate these to each sector we take.
I'm then planning to setup a sat network in all conquered sectors and building an outpost there to act as a supply station for my forces holding that sector with a fast responce demolition team based there to take out any enemy stations that re-spawn before enemy forces can reach it.
Hmm theres on good point out of all this. I have noticed each time the Terrans re-build a station theres always an Atmospheric Lifter around which supplys the new station via frieght drones when its first built but if I want to capture it I have to be pritty quick as once the station is supplied the lifter jumps out. (Hmm don't ask I don't know were they go).
I've also spotted a Tokyo sitting all alone in Urinus 2 doing nothing at all with no escorts and it just sits there and hasn't moved for some time.
He! He! think its waiting for my M7M to pay him a visit
Well I've still got another 7 Brigs in reserve which are at the moment being equiped for war. I've got fleets of TS's running from my PHQ buying up every PPC,HEPT PBG I can lay are hands on to support my Big Gun compex in fitting out are war machine.
This is costing me big time I know but concidering I have amassed a personal fortune of around 12 Billion well I think its time to start using it don't you.
My total wealth now still stands at more than 8 Billion so theres plenty more work to do yet.
Now you can understand why I setup W.A.F (The Weed Aid Foundation) to try and get rid of some of my well, ill gotten gains
Oh and for those who don't know have a look here.

Well thats about it for now, but just before I go back to Neptune here's a few of those daft Terran resistance forces trying it on against my battle fleet.

They still persist in trying to re-establish control of neptune but well as you can see to no avail.
Well back to the front line and see what we can do about setting up are next stonghold in Urinus. Stay tuned for further updated.
