Twelve is going to love you guys (if his dreads hit).

He was shell shocked last night, so went to bed in despair. Only to wake up with new hope. This best not be a ploy to send him over the edge. ie his dreads die anyway.

You definately got that right!!!!!

I'd pipe in but I'm definately biased at this in this situation. But for what it's worth I also would have to say engagement is only referring to cannon attacks after reading the rules that Tatts so generously posted on thread for us.

If Twelve does end up taking the centre, is it possible for me to open diplomatic relations with him? Or am I full? I don't know how many you can have.

Most people can have three, Pirates only two.

[twelve]

Okay I've got to go get ready for work. I'm definately going to have a bigger spring in my step this morning but I should be careful not to get too optimistic. I could lay another couple of eggs and miss again.

What about Victory Points? How many of those can you have?

Ie in the track to the left where the Diplo Relations are, I have three, and a 2vp sign.

OK, I'm just going to re-roll. I did make the rule earlier so best to stick with that. I still don't think it applies for SS because outcome was unaffected by my mistake. Twelve's is certainly affected, so best to re-do.


==============================================
Eridani v. Ancients in the Galactic Centre.

1x Ancient dreadnought defending - 3 init
2x Eridani Dreadnought attacking - 5 init


Missile Round - Ancient dread health bar [000000]

Eridani dreadnought # 1 fires 4x flux missiles [6,3,1,6] +3 = [6,6,1,6] - 3 HITS. - Aims 3 missiles at ancient dreadnought
- Ancient dreadnought sustains 3 damage
Eridani dreadnought # 2 fires 4x flux missiles [1,4,2,4] +3 = [1,6,5,6] - 2 HITS. - Aims 2 missiles at ancient dreadnought
- Ancient dreadnought sustains 2 damage

Cannon round 1 - Ancient dread health bar [0=====]

Eridani dreadnought # 1 fires 1x Plasma Cannon [4] +3 = [5] - 1 HITS.
- Ancient dreadnought is destroyed


Eridani Emerge Victorious!

rep tile picks x 2 = [3,2] keep the 3, replace the existing 2 on player board. 2vp tile from Twelve's board goes back to the draw bag.

+1 vp for killing the ancient dread.

[Galactic Council]

Ok, so now I just need any extra colonization instructions and upkeep from everybody who was holding off for the outcome of the re-roll.

I won't be processing the upkeeps for a bit, so there's time to make changes if anybody wants/needs to.

[Galactic Council]

Most stuff (except the centre battle) should be up to date in the latest board update. I just put it up a few mins ago.

So number 14 on my list for next game (since I'm volunteering to run it) is:

• It is preferable for the person in combat to be online during that combat. Since that is not always possible:

• Please leave fairly explicit instructions for your combat instructions.
• You may designate another person to be your decision maker in your absence but you will have to live with their decision.
• The mod may at their discretion halt your combat at any point in the process to wait for your input.

supernova and hive rolls? or is that too soon yet?

[Galactic Council]

Too soon for supernova and hives. They happen after all upkeep and end-round colonization is complete.

[D'rek]

Losing VP since last night and twelve flawlessly takes the center? Well, this has been a disappointing morning to say the least...

[Morgoth]

I also did only one move ..

Upkeep is up

If you're modding it then rules can be whatever you want. It's rare instructions fail to describe your intent. Twelve's were fairly lengthy granted, but it was pretty clear what he wanted to do when I started doing combat. If it hadn't been for my mistake in "engagement round" interpretation then there would have been no trouble.

As for stopping combat, yes, it's your discretion. I did that with Morgoth's first battle when his dread was getting whittled down and he had an option to retreat.

ha, apologies.

I will try to get combat done earlier in the evening next time.

Do you feel everyone was treated fairly?

Best thing is for me not to screw up next time. I promise to do better.

[D'rek]

@CF - one of these days you'll need to do the colonization of my money slots from my first turn in this round. I know the cubes should be there, but I'm sure the other players will appreciate it.

Yes, it was all fair I suppose. Just such a tease to have a 2 VP tile last night and then it drops down to 1... now I'm telling myself I shouldn't have said anything!

[Tattersail_]

My grey planet should be colonized with a science cube.

That was not a criticism of you CF. it's an attempt to bridge the gap between at home board gaming and gaming across time zones using the the tubes.

What do we need now? Has Solid done his upkeep?

[Galactic Council]

@morgoth

extra move fixed.
