So.... Tatts, Gnaw are you going to give Grievance any pointers this round or Grivance has IH thouroughly instructed you on how to be a royal pain in my backside that I essentially eliminate myself from the game?

Good question. It is Dr. Grievance's turn. Did the three of you work out any plans or is the good doctor throwing you to the wolves?

@ GC:

I think you've taken off another money cube from my population track, when it should have been a materials cube for the grey planet.

I have no clue what I've done with you. But it's wrong.

I've managed to move 4 of your cubes for no reason I can think of. You put one science and one mats out. I moved a money, 2 science, and a mat.

Edit: you have 9 cubes on planets and 2 on ambassadors. 1 discarded. So you should have 21 on the tracks? You only have 19. Why the fuck would I have deleted two cubes??

NVM. Found them. Pesky grey.

Wasn't this IH's response a while ago.

@IH. I really think you should build this turn. Your last cruiser and 2 interceptors.

That gives you ships on the board before him which gives you the opportunity to pin him in the supernova. Then it doesn't matter who wins the fight. If you did this I would bring a couple of interceptors to help with the pinning and you could move cruiser(s) into 310.

If you go all defensive your starbases are stuck there.

CF or Morgoth is going to have neutron absorber next round. That's going to make them much more difficult to pry open.

I guess what I'm saying is we need to either crush Twelve this round or admit he's back in the game and turn 304 into a speedbump. *shrug*

Edit: "we need to either crush Twelve " the 'we' translates to 'you'. I am aware of this.

I still think we need to do that.

Tatts. Sending your ships off like that is not a good move even if Khell has 0 mats. imo

For this round I'm only good to pin a ship or two.

IH if you really think that leaving twelve alive is worth it, what about putting jump drive on your cruisers and popping a couple into Morgoth's back yard?

Re twelve, this turn I don't think I can crush twelve, not by attacking him at any rate.

I don't like your build and attack plan, because I can think of at least 2 ways to counter it and screw me over, so twelve can probably think of 3!

I was thinking about attacking morgoth... but morgoth has 15 materials and starbases. I'm thinking I'd need more than a few cruisers to make a dent.

so with that said I will go through with the upgrade of starbases (it needs to be done sometime anyway), and let someone else do the rest of the moves, so:

UPGrade positron computer over electron computer, and blank sport, improved hull over hull

Or is more information needed?

@ IH It would be greatly appreciated if you can handhold Grievence through the next couple of turns. As gnaw, I have no idea what you had in mind to do.

I am taking off for the day. I suspect that IH and Grief will want to attack twelve. But they will have to give you the specifics or you can wait until I am able to take a look at it tomorrow.

Hmm. The lichen are -17, 15 income, and 4 in the bank.

@ Tatts: I don't think he can afford to build and fight. Even wanting to bankrupt some hexes, he's still only got 5 moves left? He is still dependent on single hulls and electron computers so building ships would just be risking those materials for no real chance.

[Tattersail_]

I realise this. Good chance to take a hex off of him. Wormhole is best.

Add science cube to orbital

Pass

[Tapper]

Next action:
Pulsar upgrade fighter: -1 shield becomes +2 computer.

[Gnaw]

Greivance, I advise building. You get to build 3 things in a single turn.

Build 3 starbases in hex 304. IH's strategy has been to contain Twelve in the hopes that he'll get trapped behind and exploded supernova.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Provisional Pass


This turn only.

[Grief]

Sorry guys, my last exam's tomorrow morning and I'm revising like crazy.

Go with whatever Venge would like (now there's a sentence to blanch at), except for that whole attacking me thing (also, we're definitely not being Grungy). Trapping someone up in an exploding supernova sounds fun but I've no idea if it's a tactically good idea. If the supernova then doesn't explode I'd feel a bit let down for one (not sure if it'd leave us in much worse a position than what we'd otherwise do...no idea sorry).

Sorry for lack of helpful input atm, hopefully will change shortly.

[D'rek]

Next action, unless Grievance stops it from being possible:

MOVe Interceptor in Iota Bootis to Sigma Draconis, and Interceptor in Rigel to Chi Draconis.

I knew you wanted to protect Rigel and go after Gnaw's home world. Canny.

[Gnaw]

Dr. Grievence, don't take an action yet. I have an idea but need to check boardgamegeek to make sure I'm reading the rule correctly.

[Galactic Council]

Working on a map. 45 minutes or so.

Is this legal? It would mean placing a cube on the 2 slot.
