I wont be using Fleet Logistics this round if the card doesnt get sabotaged. May not use it at all if Tatts wants to pay me to hold off.

Plus I am not required to declare what my second action is until I know if someone sabotages my action card.

Blend will you hold off using warfare for 1 round? I'll offer you 2 TGs when I refresh commodities


It depends on if the action card I am planning on using gets sabotaged or not.

If it does, I will be using Warfare on my first turn.

If it doesn't then I will be using it on my second turn.

That is why I am waiting for Drek to be around to post my action as she will know everyone's plans.


For 2 TGs I can hold off on using Warfare regardless though, maybe use Production Biomes first turn if my action card gets sabotaged.


Deal then, 2 TGS when I refresh commodities this turn, for withholding warfare one round
Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

So play the action card and people can decide if they want to sabotage it and say if it's sabotaged I reserve the right to play fleet logistics. I certainly haven't left provisionals for the use of every action card in the game.

Drek has also previously said that we shouldnt post our actions until she has announced that the action phase has started.

Blend when are you planning on using Warfare?

Morgoth, can you withold technology a round at least?

Blend most likely will use Warfare immediately, use Fleet Logistics to take 2 actions in a row, and move the pimped fleet (Thibah?) to whichever system he wants to invade (Gwynan?).


On that subject drek how do secondaries work with fleet logistics?


Your turn goes from:

[Secondaries]
Tactical/Strategic/Component Action


to:

[Secondaries]
Tactical/Strategic/Component Action
Tactical/Strategic/Component Action

^^this

With Fleet logistics it's fine to post a half-turn and wait a reasonable amount of time for possible sabotage. Not worth doing this on every single turn since most ACs don't have a splashy enough effect to be likely that anyone will sabotage it, but for more likely scenarios, sure.

I dropped some placeholders into the game thread so you can go ahead and post your (half) turn. I'll be back in a bit to replace the placeholders with the real content.

I believe you said you owe me for that sabotage card awhile back?
Free refresh for me, Tapper, and Morgoth please? And definitely not for a player to be named later...

Use construction secondary to move spacedock from tequ'ran to shalloq.


That would be the construction rider, yes?

Alrighty then, first part of my turn posted - will post the second half once I know whether or not the action card will be sabotaged.

Took me a bit to find Sakulag. That’s evil. I applaud it.

It's obvious. I said to D'rek that's what he would do.

I guess I know what I'll be doing this round then. You can commiserate with Morgoth and Tatts when it's over, Blend. I believe they have a club.

Your lead is too daunting, I have to do what I can to stop you.

If no one sabotages the card, it'll be interesting to see if I can manage to actually take Lazar from you, and then to see if I can hold them against your flagship.

Hmmmm, when I traded you that card Blend and said it was obvious where you would use it, I guess I was wtong. It wasn't obvious. Did not expect that. Just be warned my pds provisional for that system is to fire on any ships within range with the possible exception of Khells. So don't be surprised if you get a couple pot shots sent your way when you move there.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.
