Re: Mil Centres

The escorters did not exactly have good value either so fleetcatching them late round was pretty irrelevant. Theoretically it would have made the attacks easier to cover but in practice the attacks were only difficult to cover because they came on the end of attacks by other alliances so there were never any ships available.

You have to hand it to them; They knew most alliances would be more concerned with ally rank or incs from bigger alliances so would mostly ignore them until too late. You say it would only take a couple of days; which alliance had a couple of days to spare undertaking a series of fleetcatches on an alliance that is not in contention for alliance win? P3n had the chance in the last week of the round when the ally conflict was winding down but I fail to see how fleetcatching the escorters one by one at this stage rather than Joseph would have altered the outcome.
