Drek draws 4 for participation and killing a dread [2,2,2,3] = keep the 3 - where do you want to put it? Cover the 1 or cover a diplo spot on your rep track?

Put it on one of my empty diplo/rep slots, please!

D'rek what are your thoughts about Twelve at this stage? Too powerful? He'll have 14 materials coming round and his two dreads. Do you think sacrificing the artifact key and going for improved hull/conifold hull is a better way to go for me this round, do you see yourself too occupied with Morgoth to coordinate an attack on Twelve?

I think twelve is too powerful for me to take on alone by a long shot, but could probably be overcome with a joint attack. I'm not averse to being part of a coordinated effort against him, but if I do that I am likely going to lose Eta Geminorum to Morgoth attacking me back. So any move I make against Twelve would have to be profitable enough for me that it would be better than defending against Morgoth again, or else it wouldn't be worth doing for me.

I see that yes. Same goes for me. I am more of the thinking to level the playing field. If you and I weaken ourselves against Twelve then Tapper will be the winner in that situation. I think he'd have to come into the game also, three people hitting Twelve will hurt him a little.

We could attack the GC and Arcturus while CF's interceptors hit Epsilon Eridani. Think twelve would have enough firepower to repel all that?

[D'rek]

Hmmm, maybe we could talk Morgoth into developing the warp portal and moving himself into Gnaw's old abandoned territories if I promise not to follow him?

[Galactic Council]

As the established players, it is your DUTY to tackle Twelve. Multiple fronts is going to be the only way too...any one attacker can't hope to win against a dump of starbases bristling with computers and flux missiles.

Otherwise, we all might as well just concede defeat right now.

EDIT

And as the only one this game that I have neither betrayed nor been betrayed by...I'm hesitant to get on Twelve's bad side. Deal is going to have to be pretty sweet to convince me not to just sit on my ass this turn.

Yes. As I see it he will have over 20 science next round. If I pick hulls he can quite easily gain another 15 materials by grabbing the art key, or if I grab the key I won't have the hull to withstand his firepower. Bit of dilemma because he seems to be getting too far ahead of the rest of us.

You get a homeworld hex out of it...? That's a pretty sweet-sounding deal to me.

[Galactic Council]

By sweet deal I meant everybody is going to have to pitch in and not just let me and my puny interceptors get squished!

ANd it will need to be me + tapper + GP + D'rek to pull it off. Who wants to hit the GC???

Even Khell could pitch in and hit Arcturus since he's the only one really in a good position to do that.

[Tattersail_]

That is it, reduce him down to size, even the playing field.

[Galactic Council]

We'd have to plan turn order carefully, but perhaps somebody could move in and pin the dreads before they can move out to a more useful location. Probably a writeoff of a few ships, but worth it to keep those bad boys out of the fray.

They do say attack is the best form of defense. I may not be averse to doing something along those lines.


Galaxy Defense Force - unite! We are now all that stand between the galaxy and the evil of Unicron...sorry, I mean, twelve.

[twelve]

Not a good time to be on holiday for me I guess. So much for going on a serious tech spending spree. Oh well. I knew that by this stage of the game I'd probably have someone gunning for me.

So what are we waiting on CF? Has anyone heard from Solid in a while?

edit Solid has done his upkeep, just checked, who is left to do theirs?


D'rek and Twelve are done, except Twelve gets more science due to that discovery. IH says he did his but I don't see in Tappers OP.


So we are waiting for Morgoth, CF and Khell.

Did I mess it up twice?

[Galactic Council]

aaaaaaaaaaaaand its up.

[Morgoth]

You forgot to move my ships. However, upkeep is done

[Galactic Council]

woops. Bound to forget a few things. Battle mode is always such a hectic time of board rearrangement.
