Come on, geez, who are we waiting on? Let's go, let's go! Let's get on with it. Tick tock tick tock tick tock!

We are waiting on you again Khell. Everyone has passed or put in provisionals

[Khellendros]

I think Gnaw doesn't do backing down Gnaw, you really should play Orion or some other ultra-militaristic race every time. Actually you'd probably love the pirates, sending interceptors every which where.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah I can see how he can not bankrupt himself it just all seems a little pointless. This is why Gnaw frustrated me last game, he'd get in really promising positions then just keep making more and more moves...

I will most likely end it there too, but first have to make sure IH/Blend/D'rek aren't up to no good round my way.

[Imperial Historian]

It's still Gnaw to go. And I remain passed.

[Tattersail_]

Provisional Pass then unless someone does something threatening or that may change your mind

[Blend]

No reactions unless someone threatens me directly.

Am I alone in my complete bafflement as to how or why Gnaw continues to make and apparently afford moves? I was pretty sure he had run out of moves a couple of turns ago but now he's sent an interceptor on a suicidal attack against twelve...

I shocked too. short term loss = eliminated from game. Definately not a good long term strategy. guess he wants that reputation for a minion card. speaking of which can we get a refence to what exactly they are posted? everytime I try to find the detail the sites are blocked at work.

[Blend]

Can someone explain how the minions work? I see the tiles on the board, but I didn't really get what they meant.

I see that some of them hold cubes, one of them takes an influence disc, etc. But how do you purchase them, and when, etc?

[Tattersail_]

IH if Nova Burst is used that deals 1 damage to all ships in a hex yes?

Just if I'm fighting an ancient aswel as Tapper for example both Tappers ship and the ancient will take 1 damage before battles begin?

[Imperial Historian]

I believe it is all ships in a battle, not all ships in a hex. So you wouldn't do any damage to the ancient, or if you were having two consecutive battles to the second opponent.

[Tattersail_]

But didn't Gnaw kill all the ships in the center of drek and Tapper?

[twelve]

 Tattersail_, on 03 March 2015 - 04:53 PM, said:

They were in an alliance so it was all one big battle.

And I hope I didn't royally piss Gnaw off with my refusal to "play nice" The game IS a competition after all and I'm trying to do the best for me even if the hexes I'm going after were ones he discovered initially.

[Khellendros]

And besides, everyone knows that all the hexes belong to the Magellan Rockstars.
