D'rek, hello? D'rek, I move two interceptors to play with your star bases and move my dreads into the GC? I'd move interceptors, move Dreads, move dreads. My two dreads versus Twelve's starbases would royally fuck him over and open the game for everyone else. I haven't researched starbases so I would not be able to hold the centre. Maybe I do not win this way but it wipes the bragging smile off Twelve's face.

If you say you'll commit to that plan of action I'll take it on faith and not build more stuff in Eta Geminorum to pin the new ships on my next move. It'd have to go like:

GP - move 2xInt to Eta Geminorum
D'rek - do not build/move ships (probably research something cheap, then)
Khell - move interceptor in Aldebaran out of the way
GP - move dreads to GC

if it went like that I'd be okay with it. Khell does have to agree to move his interceptor in Aldebaran though.

I think the latest map has D'rek's cruiser in the wrong location and Tapper should have the traitor card. Just the few things I noticed when I took a quick look at things.

You're right about her cruiser.

The Traitor card seems to have disappeared from my file.

Dumping 4 more interceptors into my homeworld probably isn't going to help me much I think..... But that sure would be a sight to see. 28 missiles flying accross the sky. Law of averages state that I would land 4 hits. Do I want to test my luck to see if I can get 2 more....

I moved my Dread into Aldebaran so Tatts would have to go around else one of his ships would be pinned.

[Tattersail_]

I'll place my move in the morning, I need to look at computer and write things down. I can do three more moves I reckon. I would like top see what Morgoth had to say, and Khell, maybe IH too. This could be my downfall big time but it may just hinder twelve a lot.

I've made mistakes before, but isn't that 5 hexes?

ha...I was kinda wondering if you would.

I followed the same reasoning. The only line of retreat is to a hex that comes after your homeworld in terms of combat order, so you couldn't gain a win there and hope to retreat from the homeworld with interceptors intact.

Under that scenario, even if 1 interceptor of mine survived, all of yours would die.

@Tatts

You know, it might actually do more damage and put you in a better position if you simply hit Aldebran. Make sure a dread is destroyed and that the hex is lost to Twelve. You have less chance of losing both dreads and we still accomplish our turn 7 goal of death by a thousand pinpricks. Not that the hex is all that great for you to keep afterward, but whatevs.

Of course, you kill one of Khell's interceptors, but that's secondary considering he'd lose it to Twelve's dread anyway.

You are right there Gnaw. But dropping 2 interceptors in Iota Bootis versus 5 in Epsilon Eridani really doesn't change the outcome much.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@Gnaw, yer right. 2 interceptors in Eps. Eridani and 2 interceptors in Iota Bottis. Sorry bout the mis-count.

Over to you Khell.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Oh and anybody who hasn't been doing it, please update the page 1 posts with your moves.

I have very limited time over the next few weeks and it is a big help if you all can make sure your moves are there for my quick reference

Thanks x 1,000,000

[Khellendros]

Not much I can do at the moment. Can't move my interceptor out of Aldebaran as twelve's dread is now pinning it. So still pass?

[Gnaw]

Khell, I made a fuckup a while ago. And it seems that CF carried it forward.

Where are your ships supposed to be?

Here's where I fucked up:

Check the wormholes there bub. Capella can't be reached from your neck of the woods. Wormhole generator isn't likely to help you either as there is no half wormholes either.

I stared at the map for ages and yet somehow was still blind to that. Clearly I am no general yet

@ Tapper: how do you feel about going for Capella and Zeta Herculis? Throw something rubbish into Capella, and you'll have more chance of taking Zeta Herculis, as twelve is more likely to focus on one over the other.

I will then:

Move two interceptors to Arcturus, for now.

I moved a cruiser and a 'ceptor.

That was your turn 3.

Move two interceptors to Capella.
but that was not possible so
Move two interceptors to Arcturus, for now.

Move Interceptor from Arcturus to Aldebaran. Move Cruiser from Delta Eridani to Arcturus.



Posted Yesterday, 01:14 PM


PASS.




So you have 1 interceptor in Aldebaran, 1 interceptor and 1 cruiser in Arcturus, and 1 interceptor and 1 cruiser in Delta Eridani?

Yeah, killing the Aldebaran dread works, too, and there's still another round after to push on to the GC, while Twelve has less of an active fleet to defend the GC (or must spend more turns+materials gettin that dread back to defend it) .

You move interceptor in arcturus to Iota Bootis.

CF, who thinks you have 2 ships in capella, moves his two interceptors in iota bottis to cappella.

I like how Twelve jumped on that. But never said a word about the two blue ships in Capella on CF's map.

Am I up?

No,

Tatts deliberately decided to hold things up until he has a chance to look things over and that will probably be tomorrow morning some time for you, then D'rek has to go and she is at least 5 hours later than you so proably noonish your time before you might have to put in another order.
