Yep cells jumped big, we jumped Raptors ground so cells couldnt break through. Cells hit 2 DS losing a lot of fleet.
Then he stationed fighters to go to sleep (only thing we couldnt break) and we took him out. Then had Raptor jump figs to destroy cells and clear him from anywhere near us.
So to me sounds like solid strategy (and some luck/stupidity of cells) and we were able to defeat a fam who had more military/savings than us.
