@Twelve: could you please double-check your command tokens from your last few turns? I've got you at 1/5/1, rather than 1/5/2...?

Btw folks. Just so there are no misunderstandings:
PDS II on Druaa standing orders:
Fire on any ship that comes within range.
PDS II on Dal Bootha standing orders:
Dal Bootha/Xxehan, Nebula, and asteroids: fire on any ship entering.
Rex, Bereg/Urta, and wormhole: fire on any ship entering except Morgoth or Tapper.

Building? Building what? I passed this round leaving 4 resources on the table.
I'm stuck between Tatts and Tapper. Tatts has nowhere to go except towards me. And I'm just waiting for the inevitable Tapper betrayal. I've got the weakest flagship so why bother building it? And they damned stop-here-first nebula is annoyingly placed.
And I have no fucking clue what I'm doing.
I am hurt
First off, I haven't researched Destroyer II, which is a requirement to tilt the balance of power between your fighter swarms into the favor of my fighter swarms.
Second, there are MUCH better targets for aggression than you from my PoV.
Third, Tatts finally has his wormhole techs, allowing him to go places.
Also, your Flagship is insane.
A battleship it is not, but it doesn't need firepower, it just carries it.
See it as an Advanced Carrier with Armor that allows you to both take more fighters into Fleet battles (need to carry just a few ground troops, can fill the rest with Fighters) AND allows you to turn a little bit under 80% of your ideal fleet composition (percentage increases if you have Carrier II) into ground troops for combat only.

The provisional does not outright say "Ground Invasion" (or Orbital Bombardment from the dread) so I think you could make a case he is not actually landing troops, just moving them into the system on board of the carrier?
He was more explicit in his PM that he wanted to invade
Aha!

Likewise, Morgoths Flagship (especially now that he has Special Ops II to hit on a 6 or higher) is equally insane.

Shhhh! I'm hoping no one notices that little fighters can shoot infantry bit.

Morgoth, notice that I'm not firing on you building ships. For now. Y'all will play nice with my good friend Tapper, right?
Edit: Tapper. The wormhole. Would you prefer that Morgoth stay out of it?

I think that for a biological species, he currently has his squishy, fleshy tentacles in enough pies to be adding another battlefield.
If he was a sythetic, ruthless AI without sentimental feelings for his neighbours, I would judge the situation differently.
(Also, I must admit I am curious what he'll do given maximum opportunity to move around).

I have brought some chaos to this world at last! 😁
Sorry Khell, but friendship only goes so far. You left yourself way too open, though losing that battle was more than a little annoying.
Gnaw and Tapper, depending on what i chose to do, i may need to enter the wormhole hex this round. I’ll pull out again though.

Gnaw I have 0 plans to attack you. Unless provoked, there's no need for us to fight. You have access to a Wormhole or Mec Rex of you're brave enough. The only way this will change is of you attack me.

I think you got what you wanted, despite losing that battle, which is Spec Ops 2.
Basically every boargamegeek post I've looked at has been like, "Yeah, Sol are an alright race, pretty good against most anyone. Oh, but pray to the gods that they're not next to Nekro, because if Nekro take Spec Ops 2, everyone is fucked."
So...sorry everyone!

I was at 3 at the start of the round. Gained 2 from leadership spent one each on dip, tech,imperial and politics. Shit I am at 1 left. Was going to grab the token objective. Guess I'm not now. Was also going to grab monument objective but saw Morgoth make a move so thought defense is the smarter move. Now I have only one option left and didn't want to do it but I guess now I don't have any choice.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

You can only grab one objective per round, or one public objective and one secret objective anyway.

You were definitly a potential target before you built your fleet, so that was a good move I think.
