Didn't Blend take the ancient hex? And doesn't CF have one too many Interceptors?

no and no

He only got two interceptors from the discovery tile and one blew up in the fight against the ancients I thought. Or did he just lose one cruiser?

cruiser x 4 4 [1d6=4] 3 [1d6=3] 5 [1d6=5] 5 [1d6=5] 2 hits ancient destroyed

CF wins

CF draws 3 rep tiles

Yeah his interceptor gets blown up here.

Twelve are you going to continue stomping me into pulp?

[Imperial Historian]

You are definitely in a tricky position Gnaw. If twelve gets advanced econ it's probably game over for you, but it doesn't benefit you much at all. You need to upgrade your fleet. Normally I'd be saying power is going to be the tech everyone is after this round and to get that, but I think with planta you probably need to up your firepower instead, which leaves a choice between computers or plasma cannon. Both have there upsides, but twelves high initiative strategy probably means plasma won't be much use in the short term. If you want to go offensive, maybe a drive for your cruiser and try and sneak into one of his worlds, but I don't think that will work against mechanema.

I'm also pretty stumped as to what to do, I kind of want advanced econ but I think I probably need to invest in some combat tech or CF and tatts are going to try and take my stuff.

You've got missiles, there is no way he is getting higher initiative than you so you'd always win that fight.

[Imperial Historian]

Anyway this nicely removes my dilemma so I shall research positron computer.

Damn you, I wanted that ambassador last round to make up for the 4 rep I traded, but needed all my discs

Nevermind. I have not idea why I thought that. Man that really sucks Blend. You are in serious trouble now.

Yeah, I'm so screwed. Its going to be fighting for my life the rest of the game I think.

You do have a good material production so you can replace one of the dreads. Just get some computers and source on them so you stand a fighting chance.

As I have no idea what to do now against you to give me the best chance of taking something off of you that I want you may be very pleased with that move when it's all said and done. If I had grabbed the adv economy I wasn't even going to attack you this round. Now as I don't have anything better to do I will have to.

[Gnaw]

hahahaha.

So it's my fault you're going to attack me.

Sure lets go with that. And I've been spinning my wheels trying to figure out what to do this round. It all depends on what tech is still there when it finally gets around to me, well a little bit. Might forgo tech altogether and start systematically nuking your territories.

I was thinking of suggesting an alliance between you, me, and D'rek - but then I realised I have no diplo slots left. Ah well, onwards

That and someone else would need to take the traitor card from me and the fact that I don't think D'rek would want to ally with you at this point.
