Tattersail, what are we going to do about Vega?

I was going to move 2 cruisers into their or 3 upgraded interceptors. I would have moved my dread out and went for the ancient but you said my dread is pinned.

Well, your dread has 7 HP and my orbital only deals max 2 damage per engagement round, so we could let it go to battle and you just retreat? I'm okay with that, but if you look to be moving any other ships in there I'll be getting a bit antsy...

FIGHT TO THE DEATH! Don't be a pansy Tatts, D'rek's been shoving you about all game. Don't take it anymore! You're a human being, Tattersail, a water-based, freakish, blue alien human being, and you have rights!

So what're we talking here. A preemptive strike against IH's dreads in his own hex or just building up our defense?

I haven't ruled out pressing advantage against EM. I only have to leave 1 ship in Beta Leonis to force Khell to break treaty after all.

There is the matter of IH coming in via that hex of course, seeing as how he's right next door too...

We should be aiming for whatever nets us the most VPs at this point. I'm full of rep/diplo tiles right now and both my rep tiles are 4s (lucky), so combat isn't an immediate priority for VP gain.

*shakes head in regret at foolish notions which his own wise head would never entertain*. Silly CF.

EM, I am going to move ships over to the borders of Beta Leonis. Once you retake it - and I have every confidence that you will - I will move my ships in to guard it against further incursion, leaving you free to carry on your plan for control of the galaxy.

I will trade 6 materials for 2 science. Flip 3 colony ships for science and research antimatter cannon splitter on the middle track.

I completely missed this earlier. Talk about going broke for this. Was it to keep it from me or was it part of your master plan?

[D'rek]

I will research Fusion Drives for 3 science.

Looks like I am able to attach files when I'm at home. All OP images updated.

What's happening with 201 Delta Eridani? That's a mightily delicious looking hex for one of my...colonising nature.

[Tattersail_]

Upgrade cruiser with positron computer instead of normal and zero point source

[Tattersail_]

Drek how can I retreat? How does that happen?

Move three interceptors from gc north against IH's dreads and starbase.

Short answer: when in battle, instead of shooting cannons you can retreat


(Long answer: look for "retreat" in the references I put at the start of the thread, or read the game rules.)

and if I promise to do that this round instead of throwing two cruisers into the mix you will not attack me?

[D'rek]

So basically Tatts, if you do nothing to your dreadnaught or Vega I will not move or build any more ships in Vega and you can retreat the dread in combat (it would be impossible for the orbital to kill it if it retreats right away, even if the orbital rolls all sixes).

But, if you upgrade your dread or put any other ships into Vega I will move all my ships in and build more.

So how about let's be peaceful, neh?

CF I have to take out IH's Dreads before he can put antimatter cannons on them now that he has the antimatter splitter. Between two dreads he can take out up to 16 missiles more if he removes his double hulls to add power and another cannon though I doubt that he'll brittle up his ships. With his materials depleted if we push while we have advantage I think we can overwhelm him. Otherwise things will stalemate. Or worse, he" ll take the center off me.

I am going to retreat the dread and attack the ancient, this acceptable?

[Tattersail_]

I basically want to win one hex through battle. That's my goal this game so far. I'm not in a strong position. I thought earlier that your population cubes are automatically destroyed therefore I win the hex. As it wasn't the case I don't mind rethinking strategy. next game i'll have a better grasp of the game so therefore play better.

I thought you were planning to go for monoliths? When you said that, I was planning to go for the ancient since I didn't think you wanted it (already got the fusion drives and everything).

[Tattersail_]

I am but I need materials. I was going to put two cruisers in the adjacent hex this round, take it down, that's why I upgraded the computers and drive last go.

[Tattersail_]

Also I did not mind influencing disco tile as I would attack ancient and then remove disc from tile after I have finished with it. A means to an end.
