[D'rek]

You guys will have to look it up

Sorry, I don't have time to do a map/boards update right now.

For my action, I will Move a cruiser from Vega to Capella, and a cruiser from Lambda Serpentis to Beta Hydri

That's just plain mean!!!

Tats. You should have built Ships after all.

[twelve]

Has IH chosen to take a reaction?

[Imperial Historian]

Decided I can't risk it, can't really afford it and it is easily countered

[cerveza_fiesta]

Don't let her bully you tats.


React to build a dread in your homeworld and cast off that empty sector to cover the cost. You could then take another build another build in psi capricorni. At worst you lose Capella and recover the INF disc, which won't put you out of the game, will cover your cost...and you'll have a solid military to strike back next turn.

He only has 6 materials so he can either take two reactions and build two starbases or one reaction and build a cruiser or two reactions of a build and an upgrade. I would probably only take the one and put a cruiser on his homeworld as that is the more valuable of the two sectors and the cruiser actually has a shot at beating D'rek as things stand now.

[cerveza_fiesta]

TBH I am surprised D'rek went for tattersail. She could have shut us down pretty hard with missile upgrades and a move of cruisers to support IH's home sector.

Maybe she's still planning to do that though. Sneaky are the Exiles.

[Tattersail_]

I don't have the materials, three goes back I could have built dread and cruise and Starbase and attacked Drek but I discussed it with her and decided against it going for research. How many materials do I have? You'll regret that move Drek, I was offering you an alliance earlier and was prepared to do after twelve and earn the traitor card. Quite a nasty move seem as I decided not to attack you and go for research instead.

So how many materials do I have or can get?

I'm going to react with ships and moved, that dread is coming home and your cruiser is going down.

[cerveza_fiesta]

I think you still have lots of materials if I've been following correctly. Did you build at all this turn?

[Tattersail_]

So in theory I can build a cruiser where my dread is and move my dread home? Then just keep on attacking Drek removing influence discs until I gave no discs but Drek is decimated. Do my orbitals become gets if taken? Id so is she allowed a certain number or is it unlimited?

[Tattersail_]

I built two orbitals. Choosing to go for science for next go.

[Tattersail_]

Build cruiser where dread is.

[Tattersail_]

Next go move dread into honeworld

[twelve]

So CF any suggestions as to what I should do?

I see a lot of different options.

[Tattersail_]

You attack Drek in my homeworld? Its only one cruiser

[cerveza_fiesta]

Lay em out Twelve. You have 1 move left right? Unless you plan on taking his sector FOR SURE, you don't want to go bankrupt.

You're going to need to upgrade for sure. AM cannons on those cruisers would kick a lot of ass.

Now that D'rek has made her intentions clear, I can support you with an additional interceptor...or stick it in Delta Corvi and go for max damage. With no additional support from D'rek, IH stands a very good chance of losing the battle, especially if you do the AM cannon upgrades.

Depends what D'rek does next action of course, but it looks like she'll have to defend against me or abandon Delta Corvi to support IH. Either way she won't have missiles it would seem.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Heading home now. Will try to check in this evening. Take the lead Twelve...I'll support you the best I can.

[twelve]

Move
Dreadnaught in GC to Beta Sextantis
Dreadnaught in Beta Sextantis to Mu Arae
Interceptor in Iota Bootis to Beta Sextantis

[twelve]

CF if we can get an interceptor in Nu Phoenicis we have a shot at removing 3 hexes from IH. This hopefully will offset any gain that D'rek gets from Tats. It's too bad you don't have missles on your interceptors. You could decimate D'reks orbitals if you did. Though you don't have neutron bombs so nevermind.

[Khellendros]

I've been reading up about alliances. It's very iffy, to me, about what actually happens, but I shall adhere to your interpretations as they are most likely correct.

Though I still absolutely maintain that an alliance of one is stoooopid. I think it would make more sense for one person to get the Betrayer thingy as well as lose the original alliance points and the other to simply lose the two alliance points - but then be able to form another alliance should they so choose (and therefore get back those two points). But that's just my entirely biased two cents.


Now I can only form an alliance with Tattersail
