So what exactly does Nuclear Meltdown Do exactly? I'm fairly certain it's not good for me but specifics would be nice.

I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Considering it never existed, but Zohbat did...

Tapper now you've researched gravity drive I'll have to rethink what I can do this round. Expanding outwards and building was going to be my intention with a surprise for someone but that'd leave me exposed to you coming in once I've left the house. What assurances can you give me?

Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

Bad but I thought it would exhaust the planet as well so I thought my 2 techs this round was off the table. And I was able to get my build done before the explosion so there is that. And thankfully I brought over a second dread so I didn't also lose a fighter in the process. Sneaky Nico.

I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Oh Nico I forgot to mention this earlier, you sold my PN to Blend so you don't have it anymore. you have it still listed on your latest update.

Yeah, when you guys use ACs could you please quote them for everyone else?

And Nico's status update should say 4 action cards, not 6, and the PNs should say: 2 Mentak, 1 Yssaril, 1 Creuss, 1 Nekro.

Gonna be incommunicado for the next couple of hours (dentist appointment, then a couple of errands to run) but my provisionals are with D'rek, so as long as her ladyship is around, the game shouldn't be held up too long!

Just blew up your space dock.

Yeah Gnaw, very not okay with that after I spent so much to keep it around during the agenda. But it could have been worse. And to even think I was entertaing the idea of giving Nico the free trade refresh as a sorry I was such a dick earlier and I know this isn't enough of a make up for that but here is an opening oveture gesture. Not sure how likely I was to actually go through with it but I was entertaining the idea.

If it pays off though... He will have 6 planets outside his home system, and can play imperial to immediately score it and the imperial VP. He can almost certainly score another objective at the end of the round. Leaving him on 8 points and difficult to dislodge from the top.

Once warfare is played he can restock his home system and be sitting pretty.

Can anyone even stop him? Morgoths fleet is mostly unable to attack, and he doesn't have any infantry in play until warfare comes out.

I suppose twelve could attack him and take his homeworld with the right upgrades, but doesn't strike me as the sort of risky move twelve would take.

Nico is about the only way khell can be stopped, if he plays the wormhole in the neighbouring system tatts could sweep in and take jord.

Course there is a risk that the attack fails but with the psychology of the board and the board position right now if it pays off he almost guarantees a win. Genius.

Khell. Suddenly the silence of space is ripped asunder by the sound of your ship's cloaking devices failing.

Next time don't use the low bidder.
