If IH doesn't feel like staying up, then Khell is completely to blame for the delay.


Fuck that. No if about it. It's all Khell's fault.

[Khellendros]

I PASS unless D'rek/IH/Blend reacts in some terrible, terrible way.

Let me check...nope, no, I feel no remorse. My conscience appears to be...entirely clear. Hooray!

We still need khell to chime in right?

Yes sir.




Is there anyone battling ancients who WON'T be influencing for the discovery?

I will influence (bringing me to -10 upkeep with 1 in the bank and 8 to gain), just to get a look at the tile.

If it's not +Money, then I will bankrupt the hex immediately again.

[cerveza_fiesta]

wasn't thinking entirely clearly yesterday afternoon.

Battle instructions


Ancient ship -- Go until I have 1 health left. If I haven't managed to get the ancient to 1 health at that time, I'll consider retreating.


Ancient homeworld -- Pause and await further instruction only if the ancient manages to destroy 1 of my 3 cruisers.


My understanding of ancient targeting rules is that they will go for my INT first, right? They can kill it with 1 shot so there is no way their first hit will impact a cruiser.

[Imperial Historian]

If the ancient scores two hits in one combat round (ie 2 5's etc) then it will destroy your cruiser first as it has 4 damage to assign and the cruiser is the largest ship it can destroy. If it only scores one hit however it will target your interceptor first.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Right, thanks. Forgot about that possibility.

I guess no changes to my battle orders then. If it manages 2 hits on the first go, I'll pause and reconsider.

And I was just about to state that my odds against gnaw weren't that horrible and then I go and don't even hit him even after 5 rolls. Thought I would damage him at least once and maybe twice if I was lucky.

Going to cook dinner, I'll finish off the rolls in an hour or so if someone else hasn't done it beforehand.

the dice are with the defenders today!

[Khellendros]

That's pretty unfortunate for Blend!

Well fuck...

One question - shouldn't there be two rolls for the interceptors? There were two of them, but I only see one roll.

EDIT: Never mind, I see it now, was reading wrong. Well this pretty much completely fucks me over.

Second EDIT: My interceptors have a +1 from the computer, shouldn't the one that rolled a 4 hit given this?

Never mind again, rereading the rules now.

4 + 1 = 5

[Khellendros]

7/16 of that ancient's rolls were 5s or 6s. You can't beat that kind of horror.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah it was always going to be an uphill battle when your interceptors didn't get a hit in and then were summarily destroyed, but those ancients had some monster rolls.

Gnaw vs twelve's retreating interceptors

D'rek should definitely have moved that interceptor, she wouldn't have even lost any ships.
