Your solutions for May 12, 1941 and August 12, 1981 are very original; I'm surprised your time isn't faster than mine. ;) I'll post differences when you found the correct screenies.

For January 25, 1947 (inclusing picking up that upgrade on the way) and May 24, 1972 (with mainland filled with collectors) your solution is almost equal to my solution.

I did January 2, 1982 with 5 blasters: 2 at the bottom left and 3 where you bridge with OC. I bridge directly (with a blaster + OC), so I build a collector close to the other ones. I bridged the gap to the left with a SAM.

What do you mean?

I also found that January 25, 1947 could be done without moving the city. You could hold the bottom level with 4 blasters early on, but then you need to build 2 SAMs, and then 2 more blasters to hold back the increase of Creeper. I gave up on this plan because while it barely worked, it was extremely slow.

August 12, 1981 was my favorite, probally because I got to cap some emitters. I just get a good feeling after capping an emitter. ;D

January 2, 1982 was my least favorite, because by the end I was moving 3 objects constantly and I was arming/disarming the blaster on the bottom left corner. All of that at once, Bluck. :P

What do you mean?

The first and fourth screeny are empty (although you moved the city). Or is that as intended?

[Fisherck]

That is what I intended, both because I did not have enough time and because I could not accurately remember my placement any way. :P

[UpperKEES]

Ah, okay. I'll post mine when I get back home tomorrow.
