Bug Found (kinda amusing)

    "One Lone Fighter against all the Odds!"

    It would seem that if you put a single fighter as defence its unstoppable! There is a bug in the rounding code that rounds down 0.5 fighter losses. Hence if you have 1 lone fighter the most damage he can take is 0.5 losses which is rounded to 0.

    The only way past him is to cloak. Now since you risk nothing (ok, one point of armour maybe), trying to get past him you can pretty much slip by if you are persistent enough.

    So, chalk up a silly bug to the coders and avoid using that bug or the g-police will be sent round to your house!

    Greetz :) to Ruaidhi for discovering this and pointing it out...

    Unless anyone else thinks this might be a neat quirk of the game, we'll judge this one as being against the rules...
