Well, it was meant to be for next month, but we managed to finish after all

.

In turn 318 Stapel discovered Synthetic Fibers. I could notice it from the Space Race screen. He was building three parts more. My steal then succeeded. I switched three prebuilds to space ship parts and anticipated a win next turn when Satellites would come in. However, I miscounted one part. So I only got it next turn.

I knew however that Stapel would have needed two more turns for Satelletis himself. And a steal would only give him Space Ship launch in 321 at the earliest.

Stapel already admitted that he shouldn't have left the opportunity open to finish with two techs that could be researched together. He played a great game, deserved to win, but this one thing allowed me to still get that win.
