What gets me is that some people seem to think I should be there as well. I really wish they would share with me the path to victory cause I'm not seeing it. I keep coming up stuck at 10.

My friend is in surgery then recovery room so I'm available most of the day. If that matters.


I hope your friend is sound and everything is okay. Good luck brother and God be with you.

Twelve tempted to take the research technology action card you have strongly suggested you have. Care to offer me a reason not to take it?

I specifically didn't use it last action because it sounded like you needed a path to Rex and I was in the way. I also have and action card that let's you upgrade a cruiser to a dread I can't use. I'm going to discard that at the end of the round you can take instwas.


Hah, yes, considering how important that card is for your reclemation of your homeworlds next turn. I hope that IH prefers a boardstate where you do not have a homeworld to one where you do.

I'm not using that card for x89. I made a trade with Nico so he can gain a public objective. I'll get X89 next roundl. I'll have enough actions available to wait for tech to be played before I nuke your troops.


I assume you mean you'll be researching x89 in addition to War Suns?


Yeah. That won’t get you infected with NekroSyphillis at all.

Thanks.

She should be okay. Low risk surgery. There's always a risk of course.
I really like her which is the only reason I'm putting up with the "I want you truly present if you're going to be here" no iDevices rule.

not if IH takes that card because Nico would still have my racial PN so I can't trade it to you. I'm waiting to here if IH is okay with my counter proposal.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Hmm. That means you’re not seeing the 11th point either. Validates my math.

Blend/ Khell, you might want to put a ship in the empty space between my homeworld and Lodd Eru to prevent Morgoth from sneaking away taking Lodd Eru. That just means he takes more of my planets if he opts to run but it is what it is.

Just wait to make any deals for it until after IH's turn. I'm hoping that I can afford his extortion and get to use the card myself.

Gnaw, your mat is wrong. Or, not entirely. You'll get one point this turn, which puts you at eight. Next turn you you can use imperial for two additional points, leaving you at 10. Then at the end of the round you can either claim 1, 2 or 3 points depending on what new objective pops up and whether you can finish your secret objective.

Yeah gnaw can achieve all 3 one point objectives if he retains Rex and claims imperial so victory is well within his grasp. Whether he can do this and still retain his homeworld is the question.
