Commencing Operation Tentacle


7: Move one cruiser to hex 104.

Hey. I kept telling you that your dreads were glass. Now, with just a touch of help from Tatts and a bit of luck on the rolls Khell will still be here for Round 7. With a new hex*. And maybe Tapper and or IHCF will do a reaction move or two.

Tapper can take 105 and 106 with 2 moves. IHCF can take 213 with 1 upgrade (second drive on the interceptor) and 1 move.

(*And an angry, angry neighbor but that won't be my problem.)

Tatts. The gnawkhellians need at least 2 more actions. You've got to squeeze a Turn 8 out. A turn 9 would be sweet. And a turn 10 would be ecstatic.

Saw this coming but thought it was going to wait until next round. Now I'm really glad I added more missiles to my Dreads.

You spent your last disc. I never dreamed you'd do that.

[Khellendros]

Tatts, this is a chance I/Gnaw am giving you, don't waste it. I have no hope of winning this game, so I'd rather spend my time trying to make the outcome a bit more than a procession for twelve. I'm all in for nipping at twelve as much as I can.


This also means CF/IH that you need to leave me alone so that The Hydrani can concentrate on this.

[Gnaw]

D'rek can put a cruiser into 107. Neutron bombs.

You're looking at losing 3 hexes minimum. Probably 4. And a distant distant chance at 5.

No, no, no. IHCF needs to put a second drive on his interceptor so he can go bomb the shit out of undefended hex 213.

I've been operating on an invasion is coming dogma for a few turns now. I was actually starting to get to the point where I was thinking it wasn't coming at all.

You had better hope that Tats does at least one more action else you are toast.

I wonder if I'm allowed to do an influence action in my situation to gain another action? Not sure what that would be and not sure if it will help much in any case.

Actually I'm now very glad I did. At least one of my hexes is protected. I also have a decent shot of taking out a few of your ships and maybe even winning the fight depending on Tatts.

[Khellendros]

The Hydrani being toast isn't even part of the equation, twelve. The Hydrani stoked up the barbecue themselves and are about to put their own fins on the grill. The Hydrani are fully aware that they stand no chance of winning against you. That's not the point, however.

Tapper's interceptors have antimatter cannons. Move 1 from his warp portal to 106. Move another from his home world to 105.

SS can't afford to make any reaction moves so Tapper is safe this round.

[twelve]

I'm now even more glad I didn't attack Pollux I'd be royally screwed if I had split my Dreads.

Nope. Once you spend that last disc you're done for the round. Trust me, I read all the forums over at boardgamegeek. Better yet, don't trust me. Go read them for yourself.

Yup, CF can either participate in taking pot shots at twelve, or he can get the hell out of our way while we do it.

Looks like I will be gaining a fair amount of cash myself this round if this little operation is successful.

[Tattersail_]

With one move what do you suggest?

I believe you as that makes logical sense. You can't spend what you don't have as this game doesn't allow for "credit"

Now isn't this more fun?

It is but I've got WORK TO DO!!!!!

Well there is nothing I can do at the moment so I should just log out and finish my work day without any further distractions (YEAH RIGHT)

[Tattersail_]

I can pin both his interceptors with my dreads, other way around but you get my drift. Lose both interceptors which I was about to move elsewhere

Gnaw is presently (always?) more in the loop than I, hopefully he can suggest the best course of action.

[Tattersail_]

I see no way of moving my interceptors elsewhere other then to pin him, there us no way around him. I can move one six spaces or two three spaces. or do you need me to do just one more move?
