Victory!

"The great uncertainty of all data in war is a peculiar difficulty, because all action must, to a certain extent, be planned in a mere twilight, which in addition not infrequently — like the effect of a fog or moonshine — gives to things exaggerated dimensions and unnatural appearance." - Carl von Clausewitz

Ah, how things can turn in war. A few turns ago I was looking at having to hammer my way onto a heavily defended world holding the vast majority of Ckat's remaining population and resources. Instead, a bad decision by him and some good luck on my side has ended the war.
Cut because it got long. )

Dalek

OK, I'm loving the new Dr. Who. Kirsten and I both experienced extreme squeeage when we heard the opening credits, and the TARDIS sound effect? Heaven!

But this was the episode I was looking forward to.. the return of the Daleks. OK, Dalek, since there only seems to be one left.

Spoilers! Exterminate! )
