Down to D'rek and Tapper now I believe, unless Khell has a reaction up his sleeve.

[Gnaw]

One thing I know we can do with TTS. Combat dice rolls. Put the anticipation and thrill of the dice hitting the table back into the game.


And, yeah, the hippies need to do something.

[Morgoth]

We're waiting for Khell or Tapper?

Me, I think.

[Tapper]

Influence.
No discs removed.
Flip 1 colony ship face up.
Add a cube on the GC science spot.
Turn 2 colony ships face down for 2 materials.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Confirm pass

[D'rek]

Tapper, any sort of strategy or ideas you'd like us to pursue?

[Morgoth]

No reaction so far.

Well, not this round. Passing is best, let's see if by some miracle I can down a dread, that would be a serious setback for them considering their mats production.

Longer term, I think we can't really allow CF + Morghy to roll us up: I think I am certain to lose the Pulsar, for example.

The one saving grace is that the planets around it are hardly worth claiming, so maybe it will become a natural frontier. Thing is, the GC is a price too peachy to pass on.
Some form of resistance will be required next round.

[Imperial Historian]

Confirm my reaction, build a starbase to murderise twelve.

[cerveza_fiesta]

I pass until end of round , for future reference

[twelve]

No more reactions from me. Waving the white flag and begging for mercy that isn't likely to come.

Down to D'rek and Tapper.

[Imperial Historian]

I'm guessing you have no more moves left gnaw? Shame as otherwise an inty in twelves other tile would almost certainly eliminate him from being able to influence the rest of the game.

[Gnaw]

I could make another move. But I'd start next round with:

2 interceptors, 1 cruiser, 0 hexes, $0, 2 sci, 2 mats.




Edit: and that's assuming my cruiser survives this round. Not assured.
