Seriously khell what the fuck are you trying to do? you did the opposite of that a few moves ago If you wanted to burn moves you could have been upgrading your shit.

I had to do the opposite in order to get another ship in play. Now I don't need that pointless hex any more, but I do want the production from the other hex.

How is not yet obvious what I've been doing this round???

Yeah but you'd have had exactly the same effect by using the influence action to put a disc on the hex, and deliberately bankrupting yourself to get out of it.

And I still remain baffled by your moves.

But then I would have had one less move available to me

I shall reveal all once the round is over.

As his ally, I wish I could pretend to understand everything Khell is up to here, but I'm as confused as the rest of you!

[twelve]

I want to know if I get to attack IH next round or if I have to see about scrapping up enough research to get a wormhole generator. If I have to wait until round 8-9 to get the tech then it will be an incredibely boring game added to an already incredibely poorly played one by yours truly.

Ah, excellent, so you haven't seen that I'm about to betray you and attack you with all the forces at my disposal!


...Now where did I put those forces? Hmm.

Yeah, I'm sure too.

Moved interceptor to thingy Draconis -25.
Influence -28 or 30 or whatever the last one is.

[Galactic Council]

I'm updating the file now.

[Tattersail_]

IH you think no reaction from me? Rigel only has science and materials. Ill get them production wise anyway. Drek could always move again couldnt she? I did think id lose a hex or two. What do you think?

Let's talk this through a bit. Khell being ouf of moves gives us some flexibility back.

[Imperial Historian]

Well if your going to lose a hex, rigel isn't a bad one to lose. If you move to engage in rigel, d'rek will probably just take chi draconis. Killing one of d'reks interceptors could be worth the trade though, as you gain vp from battle, potentially kill her ship (but probably not as she will just retreat it) and prevent her getting rigel which is a great hex.

Alternatively helping Gnaw out in his homeworld could be good as you then remove khells foothold on this side of the map (dunno what Gnaw would say to that though).

[Tattersail_]

You can my cruiser in chi drac can onky move two hexes. What are my chances dread vs dread? Has drek got cloaking device?

I have one more move if it is worth it. Im thinking of losing my honeworld and helping you in yours. I still get production from hw hex. Then I can fight drek next round. What vp do I get from battles? Just standard rep points?

[Imperial Historian]

Dread vs dread you get ~99% win odds tatts. Drek does not have cloaking device.

Gnaw what are you thinking, making any more moves? Personally I think you can only afford one more with confidence, nuking 305 or 306 could be useful.

Tappers homeworld would be a gamble, but is possible.

D'reks homeworld is also empty, but she'll almost certainly just move back to stop you.
