Swap 3 commodities with Gnaw for 3 TG's and offer trade of 1:1 Commodity with Gnaw


Tatts and ItNom/Gnaw, can you both please confirm this? Tatts is giving 3 commodities (which become TGs) to ItGnaw, while ItGnaw is giving 3 TGs to Tatts (as ItGnaw does not currently have any Commodities) ? That correct?

Yeah. Made that offer upthread somewhere.

Can Khell's troops be defeated?

Khell has strong troops, so you can either try bringing superior numbers, or bringing even better troops. So far, the popular strategy seems to be neither of those things...

Tatts I thought your deal with Morgoth was to allow his cruiser to fire a shot so as to have a chance to gain one of your tech. You didn't even give him a chance.

Twelve, we managed to work out a deal for trade last round. What do you think of working out something new for this one?



Can you move those ships turn one out of Quann?

If I place 1 ship in a system, can that player who has ships in that system move those ships out?


Not without firing, no. I could announce retreat in the first round but i'd lose ships either way. Hm, moving in the first round is not ideal for me by any means. I can move everything but one cruiser this round, and allow you to destroy the last one, on the condition that if it produces a hit you sacrifice a fighter or something. I make a sub optimal move, lose a cruiser but gain a technology, and you get to take the system.



Good try Twelve. He said I can destriy it but if it hits for me to destroy a fighter.

Naughty trying to sow discord between allies.

So far the popular strategy seems to be clog up his airspace so no one else can take a shot.

Twelve I may want to move near you next round. Can you disable PDS fire into neighbouring systems? Or allow me to try and take control of another planet?

Honestly I wanted Nico to play warfare and it would have been 8 infantry on 4. Holding back that card made me weaker in attack.

I'm pretty sure he expected to get a shot off or else I doubt he would leave his cruiser there to be wormhole crushed but I'll leave it up to him to express his opinion of how things went down.

Toll cost of 2 trade goods should do it.

You'll protect Khell? What if he pays you reverse Toll cost?

You are the second person who is disappointed that he hasn't played it yet. Nico if nothing else loves causing chaos in the galaxy.

It's more about limiting the number of other people ships near my systems than protecting Khell. there are way too many ships near my systems as it is.
