Well it is. We broke off in two different directions because we (OOC) assumed that you had placed your regular defences at each of them. But no. Apparently you used fore-sight to know we were going to attack and magically a giant ambush fleet showed up to stomp us.
If we had known what our scanners were telling us IC but what we didn't know OOC, I.E. there are only Imperials at one planet, we would not have split our forces. What idiot general says "Hm, there are enemies at one place and none at the other, we should split up!"?
And no, not us before you say.
