Yes that is what I am trying to do as terran we can move a unit 3 times, or in this case one unit once and another unit twice. Both of our units are now pinned and are unable to move.

[twelve]

So you have one cruiser in my homeland and one where it started and one where I'm fighting the ancient?

[twelve]

Where are you at with your upkeep? That might change what I'm going to do next.

Pass

[Morgoth]

So this leaves only the greedy Conglomerate and the fragile Directorate, no?

[Imperial Historian]

Well, I'd like to make another move, but my greed has surpassed my reach, so let us see how things playout.

Pass

[twelve]

Well this is more or less my game. I was hoping to go the peaceful nerd route with what I was given but if I lose my homeland or not take the hex where the Ancient is located my game is over anyway so.

Convert 4 science to 2 material

Build Starbase on homeworld

$: 2
Science: 0
Mat: 0

Upkeep -10

Upgrade Starbase and Interceptor with 1 Ion Cannon Each

$: 2
Science: 0
Mat: 0

Upkeep -13

Pass

May fortune shine on me. Otherwise I won't be able to afford my upkeep and I'm toast.

[twelve]

Hey IH. What do you think your odds are now?

[twelve]

I was even thinking of adding another Ion cannon to my Dreadnaught but even with a victory in each hex I don't think I would have been able to afford one more upgrade.

[Imperial Historian]

In that case, I'll take a reaction and move my third cruiser into twelves homesystem, assume that's inserted between his upgrade and pass, so he has the option to make another move if he wants rather than pass.

Re odds, if i hadn't moved my final cruiser in your odds would have been pretty favourable to beat me in your homeworld, putting an extra ion cannon on your dread would have just compromised your chances of beating the ancient I think, you would have a higher chance at beating me, but also a higher chance of losing to the ancient, so building the starbase was your best move in my opinion (it's what I would have done).

[twelve]

I completely forgot the whole reaction thing. DAMN!!!! I thought I outfoxed the fox for a second there.

Well all I can do now is upgrade and I don't think any of my available upgrades will help me in this situation so I'll stick with the pass.

I made a mistake here, but D'rek's atrocious roles saved me. So she failed to take the system, but destroyed a cube of her choice.

2 Ion Turrets (2 yellow dice each) and 3 ion cannons (1 yellow dice each) - shouldn't I have 7 rolls, not 5? (I dunno what the IC / IT mean...?)

[Morgoth]

Dice, not damage. Right...

IT - Ion Turret
IC - Ion Cannon

[Morgoth]

Tapper needs to decide where to place his cube .

[D'rek]

Phew! Don't scare me like that Morgy!

[Imperial Historian]

Kill the fighter, don't bother asking about retreats I'm in to the death in this one.

If I lose a ship this round ask me about retreats in the other combat when I have two hulls left, otherwise that one is to the death also.
