OOC: Guy did say his 1st Fleet sustained 30% losses...

Also, as I want my battles to be neat without leaving nothing to imagination, I'll try to make an overview. If we liken the battle area to a clock-face then:

- 9 to 11 o'clock is the IKN fleet protecting Neviston to the northwest. Facing this in the middle of the clock-face is the USN 1st Fleet with the picked force of IKN super-warships and Aneph Yellowstones fighting in the middle of it.

- 11 to 1 o'clock is the IKN's initial fleet that just warped/redeployed to avoid being hemmed in.

- 1 to 4 o'clock is either the USN's 2nd or 3rd Fleet that warped in to flank the initial IKN fleet.

- 4 to 7 o'clock is the NAR/CN fleet that just broke out of the encirclement.

- 7 to 9 o'clock is either the USN's 2nd or 3rd Fleet that warped in and tried to encircle the NAR/CN fleet.

- Attacking the 9 o'clock position from outside the clock-face is the newly arrived Israeli-Chilean fleet.

- Attacking the 3 o'clock position from outside the clock-face is the AFOH fleet.

From the above it is obvious that: 1) the USN can have the advantage of interior lines, keeping the Coalition fleets apart and destroying them in detail, or 2) the Coalition fleets are in a position to encircle and annihilate all 3 USN fleets. Of course how it actually plays out is another story.

I hope I didn't miss anything, but feel free to comment. Cheers!
