Katuluu admitted he was trying to take care of business while playing a game in Clan Wars. But, hey, a nuke is a nuke. The win evened the record for Rommel to 2-2 in fall 1998 round of Clan Wars. Rommel is a member of the Dead General's Clan.
Early on, I noticed he was not overbuilding and playing very conservative, meaning he would probably beat me to BR2 if I did not act quickly.
I spotted three systems that could be made into builders. The system "lefty" was colonized as I started to pop. I sent in all my ships into Katuluu's home world, feeling he was at BR2, as I started the pop. The pop was hid a bit because I was using settings of 2-2-1-4, which gave me a tupical military setting of 2, not one as it would have if I had used 1-1-1-4 (or 3). I was able to keep two attacks active, one on my home world and the other to my right to help take out a science ship I had not expected.
After popping, I was able to overbuild to about .600 on tech, knowing the one ship on his world would not cause too much damage if he did send it into my overbuilt fleet.
I went in, lost one sweep, and nuked with four ships in a very, very fast game.
Thanks Katuluu, I owe you a blitz rematch.
