You have been frozen using cryogenics. You have been asleep for multiple turns. You wake to find...

18 ships surround your homeworld, including D'rek's. Everyone is in one massive alliance.

Oh no, the betrayal!

[Imperial Historian]

Right think I've figured out where everybodys ships are.

Build a dread, in the same hex as my other dread. Build a starbase in the hex to the SE of my dreads.

Onwards to glorious victory!

D'rek will just be waking up maybe so i'll PM her in an hour or so.

Hi, sorry about the confusion there guys. It's probably not fair to retract my move and say that "I wasn't finished deciding" (since EM has tipped his hand on the response).

My move to beta leonis was meant to be final, therefore EM's move valid too.

======

So twelve, what do you want to do here hey? I can go balls-out and try to whip his ass with 7 interceptors, sacrifice 3 to try and do some homeworld damage, or just chalk it up to a 4-material sacrifice that puts all his ships in one easy-to-reach square that we can target with our allied strength next turn.

Are you able to dedicate a ship to the cause this turn or are we looking at your full strength going to the GC?

========

Just a question about combat rules for the future. Who decides which ship dies. Say I get 3 hits. Can I portion them all to a dreadnought or would EM get to decide which ship gets hit.

Also, I'm guessing that his cruisers have the defending initiative advantage even though they weren't in the square to begin with, yes? They count as defenders no matter where they came from because his dread was in the square to begin with.

[Imperial Historian]

The attacker decides which ships he will hit.

Rules for defender initiative:
If you have a disc in a tile, you have the defender initiative regardless of when other ships arrive
If your ship is the first in the tile (and the tile is not claimed) you will have the defender initiative regardless of how many ships arrive later.

so yes in this case EM is the defender

Right. But now there are 2 of your ships and 3 of EM's in there, so you could on your next action move a 3rd interceptor in, making all ships pinned, and then move a 4th through it to somewhere else.

The person shooting their cannons gets to decide what shot hits what (after they roll).

Correct, the entire player and all his ships are either defender or they are not (or they have a certain turn order sequence if there are more than 2 players involved).

[D'rek]

I will Move

Interceptor from Delta Corvi (281) to Zeta Chameleontis (382) (through the warp portal)

Cruiser from Nu Ophiuci (320) to Eta Cephei (303)

[Tattersail_]

I will Upgrade to positron computer on my cruiser and dread instead of 1 ion cannon on each.

[twelve]

CF since you started don't stop. Try and pin as many ships there as possible. If IH stays out of the center I'll send a dreadnaught into the fray

[twelve]

Upgrade dreads with two missiles over one hull and one cannon

[cerveza_fiesta]

Move 2 more interceptors into position in Beta Leonis!!!!!!!!!!!

FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[twelve]

So Back to EM. IH has finally spent some of his stockpile of materials and D'rek has put a plug in the backdoor without having to spend an Influence disk. Very well done on that move might I add.

The incey wincey spider

Climbed up the spout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Out came the sun

And dried up all the rain

And the incey wincey spider

Climbed up again

Told EM to take his go before he drowns!!

[Khellendros]

You lied Tats! You said it was my go!

Will EM's go affect yours? I thought he'd have gone by now. Khell did you like my poem?

But don't worry Khell. CF and I will squash you like the bug you are after we finish up with EM.

[Tattersail_]

this says Incy Wincy, although I used to sing itsby bitsy

[Tattersail_]

Maybe they're cousins?

[cerveza_fiesta]

I would have said eency weency.

I think that's the pronunciation that Tats was going for.

Hope this doesn't jeopardize the alliance Twelve.
