Greetings!
	Thanks for the great response. My friends and I are beginning to  
get some comic relief by reading about all of these nasty things we could  
do to him. I see I forgot something that my friends reminded me about.
You see, ACCORDING TO PHIL: In  addition to being able to target a moving  
enemy mech in 3025 ( with only a +3 modifier ), IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE USING  
LRMs, THEY ALL HIT IN THE SAME LOCATION!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
PRETTY PATHETIC, HUH?
IS THIS GUY IS A REAL LOSER OR WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

On top of all of this we are playing a BattleTech campaign with a home  
brewed set of planetary construction/ space movement rules. I  
unfortunately got to end up in the sector of space right next to him!
My friends were all so envious(NOT!!!!). Within the first two Galactic  
Turns(the BIG turn where we allocate resources for production and move our  
space transports about), I took two planets in Phil's border before he  
could get to them. The idiot let me have them and even thinks I'm his ally  
and I'm supposedly going to help him destroy everybody else(HAH! Jokes on  
him.). The REALLY sad part about this is that I did not even say anything  
about being allies with him. He just assumes that since he has a 2:1 mech  
advantage over me right now(I sacrificed production for colonization) that  
I have to be his ally. 
Hmmmmmmmmm.......I think I'll just play along and crush him when he least  
expects it. What's even more sad is that I can easily take Phil out even  
with his 2:1 advantage( and when those colonies I made start producing,  
he'll have that advantage for only one or two turns more!).

Well, we still want to see more responses so the more postings to  
entertain us, the better we'll be able to cope with Phil.

Thanks in advance!
