He actually did you a favor.....if he had set his worst toons on D instead of leaving them empty, he would have gotten more banners. You get the clear banner for every section that is empty anyway. But he could have gotten more banners from setting defensive teams than you could have gotten from beating those teams. So you would have lost anyway even if he put garbage defenses up....you would have actually lost worse than you did. Unfortunately, the way this particular map is set up, ships have a disproportionate impact on the results. It's still lame what he did but that's not why you lost.
