Also just to clarify, people can move freely through Silvano as I only have fighters there, correct?


Pretty sure they would have to fight the fighters.



No, I asked this before. If there are only fighters in a system, then you can just fly past them. Any other ship, you have to fight (unless you have the tech which lets you fly past).

If you drop 2 fighters off in Gwynan, that means you have 4 fighters there (unless I am missing something). Your carrier can only carry 3 of them, so I don't think you can have 4 fighters in that system.


Carriers can carry 4 fighters unless I'm missing something...


Oops, my bad, in my head it was only 3 that it could carry. Should know better given I had intended to bring 4 infantry with me when I tried to attack Torkan/Tequ'ran. Apologies!

Do you have an ability that allows you to hold more than 7 action cards?

Never mind, I see it's one of your racial abilities. Very interesting, that!

Looks fine, except:

move carrier from silvano with two fighters to retillion/shalloq (drop off 2 fighters in gwynan system)


You can't drop off infantry/fighters en-route. Units that move can come *from* anywhere, but every unit that moves must end its movement in the activated system.

Now just imagine if we got the "All players have a maximum of 3 action cards in hand." agenda voted into law, so everyone else is stuck at 3 while IH still has 10...

I think you just guaranteed that particular agenda an “against” vote.

There's 40 agendas that haven't even been drawn from the deck yet, so unlikely it will even come up, and if it did it's not like I'm stating something non-obvious. Those sorts of agendas usually require the player who really wants them to work pretty hard for them since it's obvious how much they personally would gain from it (same for Tatts and any wormhole-related agenda, or Blend and any trade-related ones, you and any Fighter-swarm related agendas, etc etc). But you never know!

Just waiting to see how IH wants to correct his action, and then I will.

Tapper trade PN at end of the round if you don't attack me?

That really depends on the PN. I am not fond of handing mine out like candy as they will hurt when cashed in.

If you want a pact, that's cool, I am open to it.

A. You don't enter the Mallice hex (you don't need it anyway as Alpha's are connected to Betas for you) and you don't use the alpha-wormhole next to Mehar Xull.
B. I will not enter a delta wormhole, Creuss or the Creuss-gate.


That's fine by me. I can give you a back door into someone's territory next round, so how about this as an added bonus.

You can choose where I put the Creuss Wormhole in the next status phase, (as long as it is non threatening to my planets), if you don't attack me this round.

In that case, I think the list of places that I could target based on the last map (exempting you, Gnaw and Morgoth because it would be ungrateful towards my friends and allies) are:

- Lazar-Sakulag
- Qu'cen-Rarron
- Everra
- Thibah
- Ensapta
- Tequ'ran-Torkan
- Abyz-Fria

Did I skip anything?

Sorry for the delay. Posting in thread and making an order takes different levels of effort and access. My plan is completely blown, and so I decided to go in a completely new direction.

I am sure The Alaster's construction on Bereg, rather than Mordai II comes as quite a relief to Khell.
