Asymmetrical Warfare, by S. R. Algernon

Asymmetrical Warfare is one of Nature's very short SF stories.  Kind of a shout-out to classic Campbell, in that we have a battle between Humans and star-shaped aliens.  That stellate shape is quite important to them.  They regenerate like starfish also.

It's a fun little read, take a few minutes. 3 stars
