Twelve's move via alliance chat:


Move Interceptor in nebula south of my homeworld to ancient in the nebula next to the wormhole hex

Move cruiser to wormhole hex.

Hey - you stay the heck away!!!

My ally needed help with those starbases of yours. I'm just here to lend a hand is all.

Poor blend. His allies have abandoned him to a doomed fight.

Pro tip: you are going to need some hull to even think about getting a shot off

[Imperial Historian]

Also I completely missed that Gnaw was up to his old tricks again and has somehow traversed the galaxy. I spent ages wondering where 309 was.

Every time the hulls show up on the board, they're scooped long before they make their way back to me.

As it stands, my starbases get first shot on all of Khell's and Twelve's ships (excluding Twelve's Ion Missile)... So IF, and this is a big IF, Twelve misses on his Ion Missile shot, and assuming they don't roll a single 1, my starbases can at least wipe out Khell's ships before anyone else gets a shot in. If Twelve's ion hits one of my starbases, then I can still potentially wipe out either Khell's Dread or two of his Cruisers.

I don't see any point in wasting an action which would require me to bankrupt my pulsar just to put a hull on my starbases. It would make them slightly longer lasting, but I'd need to give up their firepower to do it, so it just means that Khell and Twelve would get more shots at wiping them out. They're glass cannons, yes, but I think they're my best bet at the moment.

As did I and I'm his ally.

Yeah... Saw that coming.

I don't see that there's much else I can do that's actually worth the trouble. Either I'm going to win this battle or I'm not, I don't think an extra interceptor and cruiser will make a difference, specially considering how weak they both are, so....

Since I'm stuck in battle,

REACT UPGRADE

CANCEL CANCEL -- do not react.

Positron computer over electron computer

EDIT

also colonize my three remaining material planets. One in each tier 1 hex, one in the ancient homeworld.

Colonize the material planet in the tier 1 hex where D'rek is sitting. I would like the other two to be colonized during my upkeep.

EDIT: unless by some miracle I win against Tapper/IH and have an option *other* than to colonize those two remaining material planets.

Sorry about the confusing back n forth between here and the PM thread. my head is not in the game today.

Consider the above to be my final orders.

All other decisions and orders for the next while will come from my teammates.

[Gnaw]

Congratulations CF

[twelve]

Yup Congrats. This is what #2? You should be a pro by now.

Note that it is not allowed to colonize planets where an enemy ship is present at the start of the upkeep phase. Not sure if that will affect your above plan or not, but worth noting.

[Imperial Historian]

I'm thinking of doing a reaction btw CF, might affect what you do. Waiting on Tapper's input.
