And the "twist" Geo put in the game (making the map circular) was a surprise that had me in panic mode as I learned my "back yard" was NOT safe from attack.

Hope you both enjoyed it and didn't feel that it gave an advantage to one of you. I tried to setup it up carefully to balance the positions.

No, I don't think it was unbalancing. Actually, I found the first one on the back top left and had to keep counting the holes. I was like, "Wha tha...?" So, I sent a ship down and was only a turn or two ahead of nomis. THEN, never thinking for a moment the top right would be another one, took my time getting to that one. BOOM, another one! But it was such a long journey for me, I hesitated sending a ship down it. Especially a colony ship (I had already captured one from noomis and didn't want the same thing to happen). So, I had to build another ship to go check. He was already there with a bit more than me, so I just started building and defending the hole like crazy. Never moved across it at all and at the end of the game, nomis was a bit in desparation status and he attacked through it the turn before he surrendered.
So, all-in-all, I think you guessed right at where to put them so no one really got in the back yard of the other player.
Thanks for hosting the game and tourney. It's a lot of effort to do something like that for the enjoyment of others.
