The enemy offers a surrender as the attack continues.
Tube-pipe reached out early this morning offering the surrender of their alliance and reporting a lack of desire to continue pressing the fight. I'm continuing to attack and follow my plan for now, but I'll be paying close attention over the next couple of turns to see how the wider galaxy responds. Without knowing how their discussions are going, I think their surrender is premature but it's possible the robust defence in the west by HelloThere/TdT and mine and Battery's attacks have broken their spirit.
I've changed some of my northern waypoints to pool ships. The northern alliance might be persuaded to attack me. It's unlikely, and I think we could talk them out of it, but I'd like some contingency.
I'm also continuing to expand my attacks at the bridgehead.
They still have threats, so I have flicked my warp gate at the arrival star off for now and I've flicked my warp gate at Evian (where my smuggler launched from) back on to start building a force there. I'm continuing to be conservative with tokens and resisting the urge to buy a second smuggler. I want options to hire destroyers or colonels/infiltrators as needed.
I did look briefly at throwing a siege breaker at the large force to the west of the bridgehead, before Tube-Pipe gets there and they have the potential to hire a +8 war hero with his w7. The aim here wouldn't be to win the fight just to inflict damage and minimize the force to reduce it's potential. I don't think it's worth the tokens it would require though.
