Well, you don't preclude me adding/removing stuff to up my own initiative by the way.

Defender wins initiative ties for both missile and regular combat rounds.

EDIT,

But if you have missiles and I don't, then you go first regardless.

And if we both have missiles and I have initiative, I go first with my missiles, then you with yours, then we move on to regular cannon combat rounds, where initiative is applied again.

Seriously Tats!! This is the last round and you've been in a couple of scraps yourself this game. You should know this by now. This is all easily reviewed in the rules that are referenced by D'rek on the first page of the thread if you still need to look them over.

You and CF can get prissy all you want, you are not waiting on me as I had a provisional in anyway, it was an upgrade which meant it wouldn't affect what Khell is going to do. You are waiting on Khell to decide what direction he is going in.

[Tattersail_]

None of the battles I was in had similar initiative, the question was with that part.

[Khellendros]

Sorry for the delay folks, I haven't yet had any time to look over the game other than the quickest checkups. Hopefully this afternoon/evening.

[Tattersail_]

I have maybe two sneaky moves to maybe surprise CF

That may have been but there have been battles this game that have had similar inititive. Just last round both D'rek and I were in two seperate fights involving one of my interceptor and one of her cruisers where both units had the same inititive but one battle I was the defender and the other she was. Granted I should probably cut you some slack as you were eliminated by then but you seem to be following along to the game so I assmuned you were following along to that aspect too. Again, I give you that the dice resolution is a bit confusing, but I thought D'rek did a good job of explaining what it is we are looking at so I assumed you understood inititive, missle round, cannon round, etc. Fighting is a key part to this game so not understanding how it works will get you killed. You yourself won the battle for Beta Hydri because you had the inititive advantage on D'rek before she had missles on her Cruisers.

I just figured that you should know this by now as it's a core aspect of this game and there were many battles to follow along throughout the course of the game. I didn't mean to come off short with you.

[Tattersail_]

It was specifically the part about being equal but yeah, I've got a good grasp for next game.

[D'rek]

@twelve, there's no need to get accusatory. I know there are a bunch of rules I needed explained to me all over again every time I played this game the first half a dozen times.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm easily exasperated sometimes and I probably took it the wrong way when this issue came up again.

[cerveza_fiesta]

And I didn't mean my answer in a snarky tone either....sorry if you took it that way.

I am not irritated or annoyed by anyone in this game...I'm learning too. My comments RE moving it along are just friendly jibes

[Khellendros]

@ Drek:

I don't think we need to worry about anyone grabbing the ancient monument, because neither CF nor twelve (nor I) have the money. I can't really afford the artifact link either without completely imploding my ability to muster a defence. Can someone nab that? By someone I mean IH or D'rek

There's also the cloaking device. That thing could scupper plans for pinning their ships. Any thoughts on that?


MOVE Cruiser from Sigma Sagitarii to Canopus. Move interceptor from Beta Lyrae to Epsilon Indi.


Edit: Actually, anyone wish to offer opinions on whether I should build first?


Edit 2: Scratch that move sorry. RESEARCH Cloaking device for 6 Science, place on the middle track.

Well I can't really afford artifact link either. Do you want me to go all out for it D'rek? I could, but not sure whether it is the best plan.

I can grab it if you want. Someone needs to get it, or twelve will get crazy amounts of points. It's not a bad couple points for us if I get it, assuming I can keep any hexes.

[Imperial Historian]

Ok I will research gauss shields then.

[D'rek]

I will Develop Artifact Link, then.

[Khellendros]

Over to Team Evil, then.

[Tattersail_]

And then.....

Team AWESOME needs more time.... I'm trying to figure out the best course of action, well the next best one now that the artifact link is gone. I wouldn't hold my breath for me to take it soon either. I need to figure out worse case senario for what the ragtags might do in conjuction with maximizing my points.

[twelve]

D'rek has way too many influence disks and Money this round so I can't use my usual strategy of going last and then out actioning players. All the passive point strategies this round for me can easily be countered and then CF and I will end up with the short end of the stick. So I think instead of trying to gain as many points this round as I can I think the best thing for me to do is to take away as many points from Khell as I can. Every one point that he loses is two less points that CF and I need to win.

So

Move

Crusier in Beta Centauri to Epsilon Indi
Cruiser in Mu Arae to Beta Lyrae
Cruiser in Mu Arae to Beta Lyrae

[Imperial Historian]

Ooooooooooh.

Protect the shellworld khell. Protect the shell world!

[Khellendros]

Yeah, that's exactly what i was afraid would happen if I didn't move/build some ships to block straight away
