I'm curious what everyones worst mistake has been.

Here's mine:

At last years Warfair in Atlanta we played a large game.  3 players
on a side, several thousand points per player.	Vector.

I pulled out my FSE SDN, 

http://www.jumpspace.net/Wargames/FT/ItaliaSDN.html and a reasonable 
escort.  I quickly was nominated my sides theatre commander.  It 
consisted of FSE, ESU, and Phalons(?!).  The plan was for me to
accelerate,
timing it so my battle-group was astern of our opponents.  This would
leave
them trapped between two groups, FSE behind and ESU/Phalons in front.

I misjudged my speed.  The FSE Admiral mooned his opponents as the
entire
FSE battle-group ended up 2 MU in front of our opponents with the rear
arc of every FSE ship facing them.  The FSE contribution consisted of
killing some fighters that were needlessly thrown away.
