Was really wanting Khell to block his path and was thinking of dropping a unit there as well but didn't expect him to make his move so quick.


Couldn't do it. The more space I leave him the more other places he has to go.

If I move ships to the wormhole can you stand down your pds? Trying to figure out my best options and want to keep as many choices available.


Hmm. The problem(s) with you doing that is that my Carrier will be busting out through that wormhole first thing next round in its escape from the ill-fated mission to Mallice. I may not want it to stop in Quann, and worse (for me) engaging in battle with you, whether intentional or not, loses me that SftT VP.

It's not my most ideal option granted and it will leave my homeworld woefully underdefended but I really, really, really want to be in a position to punish Morgoth for attacking me this round. I can still move there and take the hit I guess but I forgot that you had that carrier you wanted back in your territory. I'll probably pout and sulk and wonder how things went so epically wrong this round and do something else.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Tapper passed, so yeah it’s your turn. Should blend or Tatts wish to use the secondary they can edit it in I would think.

Thankfully I have another round to shore up my defences. What will happen if you send your home fleet towards me and lose it do you think? It might seem that I have my main fleet somewhat locked in place, but I wonder why no one has asked me yet which Creuss PN I am in possession of.

Even I have forgotten that tbh, unless someone else traded it to you? I'd have to look it up unless you spill

Wow, was this possible?

I traded with Nico in the agenda phase and he traded with you, what I traded with him, in the same agenda phase?

I've been hoping Nico would play it a lot sooner, so I could trade it again. Pretty cool card isn't it?

If you are looking at me Morgoth can you hold off until next round? You can take Nevant for tech if you like but I need it this round. I'd at least like discussion with you on it.

A real 'new world order' feel to this round.

My predicted struggle to the finish line has become even harder than I could have imagined. The resource shortage which has been present all game for me is finally going to bite hard I think.

Twelve's seeming invincibility has been shattered.

All of Blend's deal and profit-making amounted to little when Tapper came calling.

IH waited like a patient snake in the grass for everyone else to make their moves before feeding on the delicious scraps.

Gnaw rolled dice like a champ and now looks poised to take the mantle of Mecatol ownership. I doubt Tatts will bother taking Imperial from him next strategy phase. May the crown rest heavy.

Morgoth is veritably hounding Twelve and probably has the most powerful fleets now. I wonder if there's some secret objective at play there.

Tapper is also looking very strong, although I think Blend's counterattack did more damage than was expected. Positionally, though, it looks like he could pick up VPs all over the place.

Nico...continues to exist. He does have all those resources though, so one day we may see that manifest into an avenging fleet.

Tatts is in a similar situation to me in that he has a bit of a move and resource shortage on his hands. In a way, I think it would really benefit him to take control over his own wormhole placement rather than selling it every round.

Good Luck to Gnaw in his Mecatol Rex campaign. From this stage, at this point, Morgoth, IH and Tapper are looking like they could challenge you, but you're in the best spot currently. We'll see during the status stage where everyone is at.

I think it's all going to depend on the next objective and who gets imperial/politics. If it's a tech objective twelve will most likely get the win. Control morgoth or tapper. Something else it's all up in the air.

Yeah, I think people needed to see just how weak the -1 ability makes the Jol Nar fleets. Though he is still a powerhouse, but no longer quite so dominant, which is all I wanted. Well, that and tech. Glorious glorious tech! It was more than a little annoying to see him pull out two retreat cards, however, and that he hit with all three pds shots.

Tapper is in an excellent position to pick up points, but the question remains what sort of objectives will be revealed in the following two rounds. That's the deciding factor I think. Most will be impossible for me to accomplish, or require an absurd realignment of fleets. We'll see.

You do have a serious point advantage though, I still expect you to win through in the end.

Okay that suits me, I have no plans in attacking you either, we have similar VP right now, and we're a little ways off the top of the pack. Co-ordinated effort may be a way to even things up top though. Like this round with Twelve.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I enjoy how many of us are still contending for the win, though I'd be surprised if Khell doesn't take it with his current lead.

He cannot gain points without his home system. Depends if anyone is strong enough to take it.
