Reaction: Upgrade starbase with -3 shield over +1 computer.

Did not see this coming.

I was wondering how you were expecting to win. I thought you had something up your sleeve I was missing.

Well this round wasn't about getting his homeworld anyway. It was about grabbing the supernova hexes. Winning in his homeworld was going to be the cherry on top. I could probably still win the fight but it would be too costly/risky as I would have to forgo grabbing his supernova hexes. I need the material and science production more at this point if I want to be able to compete in mid to end game. I'm hoping that I can survive with only losing at worse one of the interceptors.

You don't have the balls to go for his homeworld.

[Gnaw]

Hell, you don't have the balls to go for the Tier 2 he stole from me.

[cerveza_fiesta]

[Imperial Historian]

No reaction from me just yet.

[Tattersail_]

I pass.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Back to tapper again then?

[cerveza_fiesta]

Provisional assuming no reaction from either IH or Tapper


Move 2 cruisers from Tier 1 hex to the ancient homeworld.

[cerveza_fiesta]

IH


Did you make a final ruling on what my $$ should be?


I'm sure it should not be $7 but will submit to your judgment on whether it is 8 or 9.

[Imperial Historian]

I've not had chance to dig through the files yet. I'll hopefully have chance at some point this weekend.

Lets say it is 8 for now, and you can have an extra money if I figure out I'm wrong.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. I totally misread what you meant on your last action when you said "tier 1 hex"


...yay!

I've just been calling it that because I can't see the actual name in the game image. I mean to move my cruisers from the tier 1 hex I already have down to the disputed ancient homeworld southwest of that location.

OK, let me know what you find out. It matters for my end of round planning, but not likely we'll get around to me again before the weekend is over anyway. No rush.

[Blend]

No reactions unless someone enters one of my hexes.

[twelve]

My action #5 & likely #6 will be move actions. Not much can happen to change my mind on this.
