Later in the game, when things get more complicated, Morgy, you might want to consider grouping the dice rolls by colour? So ie if Twelve put an anti-matter cannon, a plasma cannon, an ion cannon and an ion turret all on one dreadnaught and sends two against someone you could do it like:

2x Dreadnaught - Dreadnaught r3: 2#1d6 5 3 2#1d6 6 1 6#1d6 2 2 4 1 3 5 - 5 hits criser, 6 and 5 hit starbase

[Morgoth]

Yeah, that's a good idea

What do the winners want to do with their systems?

[twelve]

So what does this mean for me? I'm pretty sure I can't afford my upkeep now that I lost both fights. I thought for sure I would win the one on one battle then against the ancient with my shields. I actually did better than I expected against the two cruisers though.

STD and Morghy, Move in and kick his ass for me.

Colonize s'il-vous plais! Materials cube on the grey planet. My income should then become +8/+8/+6 if I'm not mistaken.

Twelve needs to get reputation tiles too!

[twelve]

Yeah. I blew up one of those damn Cruisers.

I should have researched those two hit guns instead of the shields. Though I wasn't expecting IH to attack me either as I was trying for the research route to victory. Once I realized that I was his likely target it was already too late to do anything about it. I was hoping to take out at least two of his cruisers though.

Um.... I've been eliminated already so the chances that I will have even one planet system let alone 2 dreads are exactly nil.

So what are we waiting for? Isn't the battle round over?

[Morgoth]

I need for IH and STD to chose what to do with their systems, and then we'll do upkerp and start the new round

What did I get with my discovery tile?

You have to choose to put a disc down first!

Ah yes, well take that as given given my question.

(I just wanted an excuse to repeat the word given legitimately)

ST

[Imperial Historian]

I'll put a disc down in the three systems I have ships, but I want to wait and see what my discovery tile is before deciding my colonisation priorities

[Morgoth]

STD - +6 materials
IH - new cruiser

Tapper needs to decide where to place his cube .

science, please.

[Morgoth]

A round ago I expected The Hegemony to take the game. I love how quick things can change in this game. Most of the time things are much closer than they might seem.

Conclusion. Leave the poor Planta be. We are peacefull and puny.

[Sir Thursday]

OK, I'll keep the +6 materials please. And settle the grey planet with a cube from the science track.

ST

[Imperial Historian]

Ok I will take the extra cruiser, and settle one money planet and a production planet in 2E, and the grey planet in 2D from the money track to give me an income of 10

Upkeep is -21, so I will remove 1B, 2D and 3E to bring me down to an upkeep of -10, putting the cube from the grey planet back down on the production track, that leaves me at:

Money: 0 /+10
Research: 3/ +2
Production: 6/ +6

Upkeep: -1

with influence discs in 2c, 1c and 2e

Edit: Unless ST wants an alliance, in which case, put a cube on the research track and leave me as:

Money: 0 /+10
Research: 4/ +3
Production: 6/ +6

Sorry, I'm going to have to decline an alliance. Running out of room for my Reputation tiles.
