Now that is playing nasty.

Tatts do a no reaction for 9 then move your cruiser to iota bootis on turn 10. (remember you are first in the turn rotation so her turn 9 is after yours.)

And now I have to find out whether keeping my homeworld is going to bankrupt me.

Oh. 228 is after 307. We can retreat to 307. Now I just have to pray my missiles don't hit.

Shit. You bitch.

I'm bankrupted regardless of the results of my homeworld.

Well that's a shame. I was hoping for the opportunity to force you into bankruptcy.

no reaction

I think you've got your chance now.

[Gnaw]

Bank: $0, Sc 1, and Ma 1.

Bankrupting Delta Eridani (209), Aldebaran (107), and Delta Corvi (281) puts me at -13 upkeep with $10, Sc 4, and Ma 3.

• Bankrupting Zeta Herculis (105) makes it -10 with $8, Sc 3, Ma 3.
• or
• Bankrupting Sigma Draconis (226) is the same result.

I won't bankrupt if either of those is a combat loss. I think I have to assume that Morgoth will retreat to eliminate that possibility HOWEVER he doesn't have to issue those orders until the result of Sigma Draconis is in.

That takes me to Sigma Draconis and my missiles. If I hit Khell, Morgoth can retreat from 105 and I'm bankrupt. If I miss I can retreat to 307, combat loss that hex, and then it doesn't matter to my solvency whether Morgoth retreats or not.

Hello twelve. Look, you're not in the shittiest position any more.

Gnaw losing thay hex doesnt affect my upkeep. Drek is inviting me to crush her next round. Is it worth me reacting?

[Morgoth]

Battle orders: To the death!

Well, if Ih causes three damage without having received a single hit, retreat.

Gnaw do you need to lose your hw?

To be very clear: If I do not lose 105 or 226 I will be bankrupt.

If I do not lose 226, then Morgoth can force me to keep 105 simply by retreating.

So with Drek taking two of my non money hexes that means I can afford another move. I was thinking either the cruiser out of your home world into the worm hole hex. That leaves IH to move his ship if he wants.

He already said he wasn't going to influence that one. And I really do think you should move out of my homeworld hex.

However, that is moving your ship farther away from your own hexes and that would not be to your advantage.

Regardless of whether you leave the hex or not, I'm flipping my alliance marker.

If you're in the hex we'll lose our diplo. So it's your choice. Stay, lose diplo, and cap 226 or use a reaction move now to leave the hex you keep the ambassador.

[Gnaw]

IH is pinned in 105 so he's losing his diplo cube with me but he's also losing the betrayer card.

Why are you flipping your alliance card?

[Morgoth]

I don't think I'd benefit from removing you from the game, Gnaw. It is however hard to overcome the temptation. You shouldn't serve up your demise so readily.

[Tapper]

Combat order: Fight to the death.
