Morgoth you can't bring 8 troops and 1 fighter as you only have 8 capacity available. It's either 8 troops or 7 and a fighter. I'm assuming you are bringing the troops but you will need to clear it up.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Yes, I could get the 2VP PO next round, which would put me on 9, and still AT LEAST one more round away from winning. Looking through the other 2VP POs, I am extremely unlikely/impossible to ever be able to get them. So what does that leave me with? Lead from the Front again. Let's say I get that, that's 10VP. STILL another round away from winning. I don't have the tokens to spare to draw another Secret Objective which is just going to be impossible for me to achieve anyway.


Thought you couldn't afford to draw another secret objective khell :)

Yeah.

For that matter he didn't specify how the 2nd dreadnought (all the way on Mordai II) is making it that far. Maybe he meant the Carrier?

Still counts as half a fleet supply, so that would put him at 6.5 ships, but he only has 6 fleet supply.

He got a 2nd dread from the warfare rider that he placed in Mellon-Zohbat system.

So with his command ship and 2 dreads in Mellon zohbat he brings 5 troops. He has 3 of his cruisers in the asteroid field fly into Mellon zohbat and grab 3 more troops before they backtrack to jol nar but because he only has 6 fleet supply he can't bring the 4th cruiser and fighter so he has to pick between 8 troops or 7 and a fighter.

Well that frankly sucked balls. Not even 1 sustained damage.

Gnaw, you could have made out like a bandit. Told you you didn't need to go first this round.

Probably more of the same when she resolves the invasion portion of the combat as well.

Those were some harsh rolls of the dice.

He was probably wondering where those rolls were when he was fighting you.

Anyone interested in trading me 3 trade goods now for 4 later this round unless Nico is interested then 2 with no pillage for 3 and no pillage when I gain trade goods to pay you back?

Well that’s a nice development. I guess updating Java was all it took.

@ Twelve:

Out of curiosity, why did you decide to move ships out of your homeworld last round?

I was thinking I would go before morgoth and use my ships in the attack. Didn't think Gnaw would turn down my trade offer. Still shocked he did. 8 trade goods, tapper's racial pn, both my political secrets and ceasefire pns and me vacating a system for easy conquer. Dumbfounded doesn't do it justice.

So unless you and Tapper and anyone else that can hit Morgoth this round, do so, he is going to win. I likely can't score points as I won't control my homeworlds and his troops are scary good.


I think Gnaw recognized that I needed to do something with my fleet, and that friendship in a zero sum game will only take you so far. With two options the obvious answer was your homeworld, but if that had been taken off the table there wasn't much else for me to do but go for Mecatol Rex and aim for a victory that way.

Edit: I also wanted your tech. Shame you didn't get warsuns last round.
