Well I officially have no idea what Khell is trying to do.

Either I'm an idiot, or Khell is operating on a level beyond my mere mortal mind.

I'd kill the dread tatts, gnaws passing ploy isn't a bad idea. Moving to the warp portal hex can wait (unless you want to move your cruiser to my homeworld?)

Gnaw your moving on Khell right? I can put a ship in my ex homeworld if need be to help.

Anyway, seeing as twelve probably won't attack me this turn, I was going to attack some ancients...

Unless you guys think I should attack twelve?

Trying? Trying, he says!

[Tattersail_]

Ih better you getting discovery than other people. I say go for it. Open a way to the GC.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah that's my reasoning, I can't do much damage to twelve at the moment, so I may as well claim some discovery vp

[Tattersail_]

Khell Judy wants us to focus on him whilst team mates acquire GC and some of my hexes. Big mistake on his part in my opinion.

I think you should take the ancients. I was thinking maybe I could take your homeworld for this turn.

However, Khell can build either one cruiser or two interceptors.

I don't think you can do this - you're breaking the link that allows you put a disc down on 304 in the first place.

Well then shit. Can I mess this game up any more than I have?

Let me go back to the drawing board then.

[twelve]

Influence
Move the disk from 318 to 304 return 1 science 1 material 1 money
Move disk from player board to 318
deploy colony ship to 304 material slot
deploy 2 colony ships to 318 settle adv material and grey as material
Reset 2 colony ships
Redeploy 1 to 318 and settle orbial with money
Incomes should be 8 money, 6 science, 8 materials

(4$, 2S, 10M Upkeep -10)

Hold on. Just thought of something.


Edit: Naw. This works fine. Probably better than what I initally thought as well as I save some money and 2 materials less probably isn't going to be that big of a deal.

Actually the first one is legal just not as worded. You only placed two discs. First disc to 304, pull disc from 391, second disc to 391. *shrug*

I was wrong and D'rek is right.

I thought you could only move a disk from a hex to a different hex, or player board or from the player board to a hex. I don't think you can pick one up only to put it right back down. right?

GRRRR move that damn Dread the other damn direction would you already.

Morgoth IH messed up. You can take out one of his cruisers and a hex. Then next round you and I can do a squeeze play on him and remove his last two hexes essentially eliminating one of the players from the competeing alliance. You take the hive hex while I attack his MY homeworld. He has a boat load of resources but eliminating a strong military player might be worth the effort. Your thoughts? Plus I'm likely to take the brunt of the IH's defenses.

@Morgoth,

Thinking strongly about passing here. I have a build that I want to do, but I can as easily do that on a reaction, really. First choice of tech next round might be useful, even just considering what's in the predictive tech pot.
