                    destroyers if possible.
                  * Issue proton packs for infanty engagements.

RECOMMENDATIONS : * Cloak risky due to decent EW.
                  * Intelligence ops essentially impossible,
                    ground combat very difficult.
                  * Smash their fleet and burn their worlds from

RECOMMENDATIONS : * Very heavy anti-capship bias, engage with
                    swarms of frigates and destroyers to exploit
                    relative weakness against smaller ships. In
                    particular, take down battleships with FF/DD
                    swarms.
                  * DDEs give relatively strong EW, don't bother
                    with cloaked ships and bring plenty of friendly
                    EW bias.
                  * No planet defences, lots of colonies, so as usual
                    try to draw off the fleet then pick off the
                    colonies.
                  * Keep a close eye on that planet-killer.

RECOMMENDATIONS : * Avoid ground invasions if at all possible, fleet
                    is relatively weak, destroy in space.
                  * Take out this power early to prevent industrial
                    advantage becoming overpowering.
                  * Pursue and destroy units (or deploy interdiction
                    assets) to prevent them self-repairing.
                  * Watch out for marine raids tring to capture ships,
                    and special ops by cloaked ships.

                  * Ground combat weakness may mean smaller strike
                    forces still have a chance of taking planets.
                  * Taunt about incoherent dogma over comm channels
                    to encourage tactical mistakes.

RECOMMENDATIONS : * Heavy EW will probably block cloaking raids
                    and flanking.
                  * Highly concentrated forces, try high-speed raiding
                    and flanking to destroy industrial/trade base,
                    also take all available heavy anti-capship guns.
                  * Tie down forces chasing numerous nibbling attacks
                    with small craft.
                  * Plenty of cloaking cruisers, no guns worth
                    speaking of but nasty special forces; keep a tight
                    EW-heavy patrol.
                  * Society sounds far too good to be true, check for
                    UFP style mass coverups of brainwashing etc.

                  * Take heavy beam/gun capships to render point
                    defences worthless. But take own point defences
                    if facing carriers.
                  * No interdiction, weak EW, go for fast raids and
                    cloaking flanking attacks.

RECOMMENDATIONS : * Strong but diffuse defenses, prevent light
                    raids but not progressive invasion.
                  * Diversion of points into interdiction, EW and
                    upgrades, plus presence of strategic sensors
                    and damage control suggests massive overwhelming
                    attacks with conventional/mixed weaponry. Do not
                    allow ships to escape and repair.
                  * However watch out for mass raids by cloaking
                    frigates. Deploy own EW to prevent flanking
                    maneuvers (should drop like flies if fired on
                    under cloak).

RECOMMENDATIONS : * Turtle position, dangerous because industry is
                    essentially immune to raids. This race will keep
                    building up forces and sabotaging other nations
                    with their formidable intelligence and cloaking
                    ships; only an all-or-nothing hammer blow can
                    stop them.
                  * Anti-capital capability on CCZs is formidable
                    when massed; use DD and FF swarms if possible
                    to bypass it and take these out before bringing
                    in the DNs and BBs.
                  * Lack of EW means cloaking ships may catch FFs
                    unaware and pick them off; conversely try and
                    deploy heavy EW to detect and destroy CASs.
                  * Try and bring psionics of your own along to
                    counter/jam wanderers if at all possible.

RECOMMENDATIONS : * Deploy all available intelligence assets

                  * Rapid strike fleet is not consistent with
                    a defensive posture, expect raids, be on
                    alert and deploy early warning assets (speed
                    boost is relatively limited however).
                  * Oversized ships are inefficient, shouldn't
                    be too hard to bring down BBXs with few losses

                    carriers and swarm with fighters.
                  * Fair amount of EW so cloak is risky but little
                    speed, simple flanking should work, no
                    interdiction simplifies hit+run raiding on

                    powers until destroyed. Single massive attack, 
                    probably with an alliance, is required to break
                    this nation.
                  * However that shouldn't be too hard as pirates
                    aren't exactly popular.
                  * Try to pick off capships if they are sent on
                    raids.
                  * Make sure Davy Jones is firmly under control
                    before attacking their fortress.

              aborted due to technical problems).
            * K.O.S.C. Foreboding took out three stations on the north
              border facing the Republic of America, but on the lower (Z-)
              side.
            * K.O.S.C. Apprehension took out two stations directly 'above'
              the centre of Polish space (Z+ axis) but only damaged the
              third and was then destroyed by the Polish 2nd Raiding Division.

            Kiro minelayer detachment is also sent, more for political reasons
            than any practical use. Minutes before the penetration of Polish
            space is scheduled to start, the Kitaka open fire without warning

>>> Slaughter at Ruda Slaska <<<

Location  : Ruda Slaska, ~8.4ly galactic east of Nowy Masovie
Situation : In a desperate effort to prevent their fleet being destroyed, the
            pirates of Bootswellington attempt to hold numerous Polish space
            colonies hostage. In the one hour it took the defenders to arrive,
            the four ships planted fourty one 30-megaton-range fusion bombs
            (originally intended for the destruction of Nowa Massovie) on the
            hulls of various stations. The Polish ships ignored requests to
            negotiate and opened fire without warning. The Pirate ships
            initiated the fusion devices just as the battle started.
Forces    : 3 x Polish 'Stanislaw Skalski' class (15 pts, ???)
            1 x Polish 'Husaria' class (12 pts, ???)

            5 x Polish 'Zbik' class (1 pts, ???)
            4 x Bootswellington 'Blackblade' class (10 pts, destroyed)
Notes     : The Pirate ships were split into two groups of two, one pair in
            orbit over Ruda Slaska III, the other pair in the asteroid belt.
            The Polish ships were likewise split into two groups to handle
            them. The two ships in the asteroid belt (the Dreaming Doom and
            the Cruel Trident) went down in battle trying to take out as many
            enemy as possible. Near the planet the Wolf's Howl focused its
            fire on civilian traffic, staying close to Polish stations to force
            damage from friendly fire, before being destroyed by crossfire as
            the Polish ships encircled it. The Wandering Doubloon cloaked and
            fled as the battle started, but was eventually hunted down by EW
            frigates several light years out and promptly destroyed.

>>> Border Breakthrough <<<

Location  : Polish space, ~50ly south-east of Nowy Masovie
Situation : The League and Bootswellington fleets are running from a combined
            defending fleet at full speed, which is trailing them by a mere
            half an hour. A Portuguese fleet is waiting for them, stationed
            half way between the Nowy Masovie and the Polish border facing the
            League of Thought, which plots an intercept course. Immediately
            before the fleets met, the Pirates cut and run, their ships
            spreading out in a star pattern and cloaking or going around the
            battle and switching to maximum speed. The League are left to face
            the Portugese alone.

            10 x Portugese 'Dourado Levantou-Se' class (2 pts, destroyed)
Notes     : The League focus on destroying the three interdiction cruisers
            preventing them from returning to hyperspace. The Portugese pull
            the cruisers back, forcing the League ships to fly through a
            murderous crossfire to get at the interdictors. The League succeeds
            in destroying all three interdictors, but the victory is a phyrric
            one, as less than a quarter of their fleet escapes and their lead
            on the pursuing armada has been cut from thirty minutes to less
            than ten.
