I'll post my move in a few hours. Got worky stuff first.

Your turn. I like this game

Rotation clockwise then.

Gnaw is up.

[Khellendros]

Oh, is that all I'm deciding?

Hmm, do I want Morghy or D'rek to after me?

Let's go anti-clockwise.

[Galactic Council]

Nice to know you read the thread.

After a decade of playing the same game, I fear the passion is waning. But this being the last round and all (yes?), I will turn over a new leaf (har har) and put together a truly impressive end-game strategy.

[Imperial Historian]

Strategising time.

Ok I think an obvious move is denying D'rek 382 and 201, which is an easy 4VP for someone, though me moving in a cruiser and a dread smacks a touch of overkill (it's a shame but i can't think of a feasible way for Tatts to come and grab those hexes, maybe take his dread round the long way since he has the moves?). Really just need to stop D'rek influencing 382, as I think she'll find other avenues to explore if we deny her those easy points. So it's either a dread and move my cruiser into position elsewhere, or send a cruiser in.

I could go for shellworld (if d'rek doesn't first), equip my cruisers with jump drive and fly round the galaxy delivering death and destruction or try and help tatts take back some of what he's lost. Your cruisers are decent now Gnaw but morgy and d'reks missile shields make them a bit rubbish for dealing with either.

Tatts Rigel is probably a lost cause now, but your dread and maybe some of my ships can hopefully take back Gnaws homeworld, if d'rek has to defend from khell and tapper to she may struggle a little, you've got a lot of moves and not much else, so I'd say either build your dread and move for sigma draconis asap (maybe via 281 and influence it?), or play a wait and see game.

I'll probably be able to deal with twelve though i'll need a few moves.

I think the best move for me is to grab shellworld at some point, hold the line and maybe lend a hand to tatts.

Anyway I think

Move Dread from 305 to 382 and cruiser from 234 to 204 makes the most sense.

Gnaw/Tatts feel free to pull things back if you think I should be doing something radically different.

You didn't even mention the guy who's in the lead... how much is Morgy paying you???!!!

[Imperial Historian]

Shhh don't ruin the surprise attack

[Imperial Historian]

@ Tapper and Khell I don't suppose you'd be amendable to working together to take down d'rek and morgoth, are only admitedly slim chance of grabbing a win? Don't know whether Tatts and Gnaw agree but stopping them grabbing the win would be the best goal, but I don't think we alone have the ships to really hurt Morgoth (D'rek we can maybe hurt, but Morgoth has to much material on the board)

[twelve]

What am I chopped liver? I can field a handful of decently decked out ships. I can cause some damage if unleashed.

But half of his ships can't move.

And 2 of the ones that can have to move through me. And I can pin them with interceptors if he does that. Plus he gets the traitor card.

I suddenly got this flashback to all those times I asked if you wanted to work together to stop Morgoth and CF.

Weird, right?

7 money + 7 science + 4 mats = 1 money + 1 science + 8 mats = your opinion doesn't really matter in this game anymore.

[Morgoth]

Surely the person responsible for the almost complete destruction of Tatts and Gnaw (without researching anythign remotely combat related even, don't think I'm not impressed) should feel the brunt of your anger? I've been abandoned by my ally and left to attend every faculty meeting on my lonesome.

[Tattersail_]

Gnaw have you been doing the supernova rolls?

[Tattersail_]

Ih I am looking into your plans now.

That depends on what you're willing to do.

[twelve]

I'm willing to send my dread somewhere.......

[Khellendros]

And you have my axe!








'Axe' being the Planta word for 'moss'.

Oops. Forgot something. Wormhole Generator.

Morgy can protect what he has fairly well. And gain some as well.
