3. Round

- An enemy Fleet will then need to be selected to attack

- Competing Fleets will then accumulate damage. Regardless of whether an attack fails, other Alliance Members can continue the attack phase

- When a Fleet’s Power Level is reduced to 0, that Fleet is sunk and will no longer be able to continue

- When a Fleet Sinks, the Alliance’s total Defense Points will decrease, reflecting the points associated with the sunk Fleet
