Uh, have you seen the fleets on the other side of the wormhole? You'd be facing a lot more than your pair of cruisers can chew. You really need to grab more than 2 planets, Nom... oh wait, you just gave Silvano to Khell for some strange reason... you really need to grab more than 1 planet, Nom if you want to have even a hope of going toe-to-toe with, say, IH's fleet popping through.

True, he does have to. And I believe that's just what he's planning. As for IH, I think he's tied up most of his ships now (other than possibly those disputed movement Dreads and a Carrier in Bereg?).

Yeah, I'll take the risk instead of having to pay the Mentak tax. If I'm wrong, well I have other ACs for that situation, too.

Indeed, but IH is also first to pick strategy card. IH could go first next round, overwhelm the Cruisers easily, and then Nom can't build a big enough second fleet, and loses the second battle as well.

Wormhole placement?

Right now I am aiming towards Corneeq but can be persuaded to land it elsewhere.

@IH - How did both of your dreadnoughts make it to Mallice? Move 1 + Slipstream + GravDrive for only one of them?


During your tactical actions, apply +1 to the move value of each of your ships that starts its movement in your home system or in a system that contains either an alpha or beta wormole

Why would it be +1 to only one of them, any of my ships starting in a wormhole has +1 movement


Your dreads have a movement of 1. The Racial ability gives them a movement of 2 if they start in your homeworld. To get to Mallice, they need a movement of 3. Gravity Drive only gives ONE ship a +1 to movement. So you could get ONE dread to Mallice, but not both.

Please revise your action accordingly.

*pause here to discuss wormhole*

I have my action ready, so options are;

Corneeq, Tar'Mann, Nevant, Thibah, Arnor/Lor, Ensapta, Silvano?, Quann, Lodd Eru, Saudor,

And no Tar’mann either. Unless you really want the space rodents coming to visit?

I've thought about that, I think Khell will be scared of crossing your path, but obvious place at the moment is Corneeq. Nom already has an Alpha wormhole.

I don't think Khell will be able to make much use out of coming through the wormhole if it's in Tar'mann. But it'll put him on a defensive footing / stall his rolling deathball. Also it gives Tapper a way out of his boxed-in position, which is generous.

Corneeq, I just don't see it getting used much by either side, and we don't really need to stall Nom with defensive play at the moment.

There's also the empty hexes.

Ah so I can get either my carrier or one of my dreads to mallice, I have been misunderstanding gravity drive all of last game, good job I so rarely had to move! In that case 12 my destroyer is going to move this turn or stay where it is. If you want to do a trade speak up ASAP. I'll give you 2tg for your trade PN which is all I have left, only because I feel a little sorry for you.

With Gnaw distracted by his genocide of Twelve? It's not as offputting as you think. Not that I'm saying I want it in TM, and might take umbrage.
