It's a shame that one was killed by a corrupted DB and a few other issues...it would have been interesting to play out.
I think the Coalition was in trouble in that one, though. The usual very low Lyran turnout coupled by slow moving Roms in the Early Era start was putting a lot of stress on the Klingons and ISC. My initial plans to try and quickly steamroll the Hydrans weren't going well due to the actions of the Kzinti as well as the dogged defense put on by the Hydrans. Early Era just isn't kind to the Klingons in a fight against the Hydrans...heheh. I was basically going to change my deployment of Klingon forces from 50% on the Hydran front to 50% on the Kzin front, Fred front would have stayed 25% (crossing fingers that the ISC and Roms could make it on scene and help out) and Hydran front would have changed to 25%. I recall us doing fairly well in the Neutral Zone between Klingon and Fred space...y'all grabbed some space and so did we.
It would have been a good one but it was already getting stressful. I think it was that campaign that made me step down from leadership the first time...heheh. After that, Kor took over for CW5 and part of CW6 (and then I took over for him).
