49.9 If an ability moves a unit outside of the "Movement" step of a tactical action, players follow the rules specified by that ability; neither a unit's move value nor the rules specified above apply.

So the logistics card does allow the ships to ignore movement rules. I could have moved my dreadnaught from my home system to any other system I owned.

This refers more to things like Transit Diodes where the ability is specifically geared towards moving units in a manner completely different than regular movement.

Maybe that's what you meant to do. The wording you chose when you made that card means that those two ships get to go anywhere when that rule is applied.

Don't like the interpretation? Change the wording.

Edit: sorry. One half of my dual major was English. I can nitpick words all day long.

Your head is going to burst when you get to the phrasing of the retreat rules in conjunction with movement and capacity (or lack thereof).

But hey, if you want to take a lawyer approach, my interpretation of the "move" rules have 20 years of legal precedent whereas yours have however long version 1.1 of the rulebook has existed (a year? less?)

I assumed logistics secondary would let you move any ship in your system to any system you owned that didn't have an enemy ship in.

That wouldn't even matter. As long as I don't have a CT there I'm golden. "...nor the rules specified above apply."

Edit: strikethrough. As written it doesn't even matter if I have a token there.

To use the current map as an example. If the logistics card was played now with its current wording that ^^ rule would allow Twelve to move his flagship, a carrier, and 7 fighters into Mellon/Zohbat and initiate a battle with Morgoth.

Gawd I love rules. They can be so informative. And so manipulated.

Sure, go ahead.

But since there's a different rule stating space combat can only be initiated through a tactical action I'm just going to blow up all your ships in the contested system

[Morgoth]

I am the Token Lord.

[Morgoth]

I did not expect this token power to be quite so awesome.

IH, I did not see that move coming. Good thing I had no plans on hitting twelve's homeworld anyway. This round has been full of surprises. I love it!

Yeah since no-one can move through the hex thought I may as well remove it from twelves hands.

[Tattersail_]

Tapper's turn I believe. Finally at a computer to have a look at the map and what's been going on

[Morgoth]

it's a cool map.

I think it is.

Probably paying the price for sneaking off to post on his phone.

This game is really tightly balanced, I think the new primary objective is going to be key to deciding who goes home with the victory, can't wait to see what everyone does next. Also this must be the first time khell has been first to pass!

[Morgoth]

Yeah, it'll be really interesting to see what'll come up. I think you've managed to claw your way into a much stronger position than what I thought was possible, IH. Chaos is indeed a ladder!

[Tattersail_]

Nico/D'rek would you like to discuss my removal from Abyz/Fria early next turn? I'm not sure how it'd work but I was thinking maybe you pay me TG's to leave and you move in. I'd take everything with me.

There was nothing worthwhile left for me to do. If D'rek had played Diplomacy then I would probably have refreshed and built some more, but she didn't and so I couldn't.

Blend are you still wanting to trade your trade PN for Wormhole placement?

Why would you want to give away a perfectly nice system like that?
