I think this may be in the wrong thread

Move along; nothing to see here.

There wasn't that much luck involved in getting the double ancient to be fair there are only so many tier 2's and pretty much all the rest are in play or discarded. I think a few people have to really hit twelve now, but I can't be bothered digging through the thread to see if anyone has a chance. I think CF still does has a chance, though twelve can probably block him but the question is does he have the moves available, and will making them cost him the points he needs?

Also CF I don't think influencing the supernova is going to gain you anything moves wise, 2 discs on drek's hex opens up two money planets which puts you on 21 income anyway, and if it gets desperate bankrupting either 311 or 312 only costs you 1vp each, an influence or two is just a waste.

Yeah, I think those 2 pts move it out of reach.

Looks like Twelve wins here and D'rek wins gIV.

The races are for 2nd and 3rd in both games.

He's got way too many actions. Time to hedge my bets

Let's try the Explore option once more. (Please find the double ancient hex!!!!)

Spoiler

Assumption: Twelve is keeping Chi Draconis. Waiting on orientation and influence decisions.

I see you lurking.

[twelve]

Keep Chi Draconis. Rotatate counterclockwise once. Don't Influence.

[twelve]

Not lurking. Strategizing. Trying to see where the wormholes are, seeing who has wormhole generators, trying to decide if I should influence the hex.

[Gnaw]

Khell is up in both games

I think I've run out of nonsense moves to do here, so PASS. The nightmare is almost over.

[Blend]

We move our 2 dreads and 1 cruiser into 105 (Twelve's hex with the 2 starbases, the Ancient and the interceptor)

Now to see what CF has up his sleeves.

If I'm understanding the mechanics correctly, he'd need 6 ships to get to our homeworld, 2 in 103 to pin our Starbases, then 3 more in 205 (206?) to pin 2 more starbases and an Interceptor, THEN he could attack our homeworld. Or am I misunderstanding how the mechanics work?

Can't Though something can make it to the hex to just to the north of 103. That's and easy 2 points.


Edit: Nice Crosspost.

He could do that... but if he wants to win that won't be enough. You've got second sewn up, so all out CF!

I had misunderstood how WG works. Guess he COULD do that.
