Gah, the heck with it.


Upgrade:
--Improved Hull over Positron Computer on Dreadnaught
--Fusion Source over Nuclear Source on Interceptor
--Tachyon Drive over Nuclear Drive on Interceptor


They'll move into the GC next action. Let's do this twelve!

[twelve]

If no reaction from Morgoth then none from me either

[Morgoth]

I was going to say that without your support D'rek, Twelve is free to move a ship as a reaction and probably beat me. So we might as well og all out I reckon.

This is the issue with the base game though. No great counter to missiles that are not other missiles.

Curious D'rek. How much does this improve your odds against what I have in there right now?

And we have someone else bowing out of the fight. Nice!!!!

[cerveza_fiesta]

Well, there ain't a heck of a lot I can do. I didn't have the moves to build and upgrade enough to win this round.

If you hadn't done the starbase I might have had a chance and probably would have taken dodgy odds, but the battle calc gave me like 2% chance of success. Screw that.

Your dread has +6 computer so each die there has only 15% chance of missing - average odds are only 1 of those will miss. The interceptors' 6 missiles are each 33% chance of missing, so on average only 2 or so should miss. 16 missiles, with average odds being about 3 misses = 13 hits. Before this upgrade, I needed 12 hits to kill. Now I need 14. Maybe I have a slight above-50% chance of winning, now, but still fairly close.

[twelve]

Hmmm. I'm not sure who's go is it at the moment. But I definitely want to do a reaction after D'rek officially moves to the GC.

[twelve]

Okay I'm assuming that Since everyone else has passed other than D'rek and then D'rek moves into the GC. I react to move my interceptor with the two starbases to attack Khell's homeworld.

[cerveza_fiesta]

no moves for me.

The only thing I could do would be frig with d'rek's territory, but I don't see much point. I'd have to kill population (at a 50% chance) and I don't have discs-enough to influence anything afterward even if I succeeded.

so CONTINUE PASSING to end of round for me unless D'rek decides to move to my homeworld instead of the GC for some super mean, not very nice reason.

Uh oh... that's not really how I saw this going. I was thinking you were going to move 1 dread to the hex Morgoth attacked, and then I was going to move my dreads... I'm not sure what would have happened if after my move and Morgoth's pass you had said "nope, I need to wait another turn to react"...

So are you saying you aren't moving into the GC? That was why I said I was confused as to who's move it was. I wasn't going to react until after you had moved into the GC. If you opted not to move and then pass then obviously I couldn't move to snipe Khell's homeworld and the be forced to right off the hex Morgoth was attacking.

I am swamped in work. Update tomorrow morning. In fact, I like you all so will try and do one now

I had just assumed at the time it would go

-morgoth passes
-twelve moves dread to other hex
-I move dreads to GC

and if you were going to change your mind or whatever it would become

-morgoth passes
-twelve doesn't move anything
-I decide what to do and do it

the idea of

-morgoth passes
-twelve passes
-I move dreads to GC
-twelve moves 1 dread to the other hex (or does something else)

hadn't even occured to me. So I don't know what I would have done in that situation when it came to my turn. Now I know what you were plotting in that situation and it affects what I would have done, of course...

khell no reaction

Blatts no reaction

[Tattersail_]

So it is D'reks turn 8, Morgoth and Twelve did no reaction after D'reks last turn (the upgrade) although that is not 100% confirmed.

So,


Morgoth are you not reacting?

twelve if he does nothing are you still doing nothing?

Khell no react?

We no react

Then CF passes and it is back round to D'rek.

Morgoth did not confirm he was not reacting, so once Morgoth confirms the domino effect can begin.
