Okay twelve, how would you like to coordinate against Gnaw? Obviously I'm not going to move against him in full force unless the Null Field is exhausted or he has no token to spend on it.

And if this happens and is successful, I expect you to be in my debt for the rest of the game.



Finally got a look at the map. I didn't realize where berg was located. From where its located you can hit multiple of Gnaws systems so if he cancels one you just attack another. He is guaranteed to be hit hard once by you.


You make it sound like I have an infinite number of moves :p He'll pop Null only against certain targets I reckon, like his homeworlds, but to look like I can actually take those I would probably need to move in a large fleet. If I do that then I'd need to be compensated (at some point) for the 'wasted' action, as it's imperative for me to be constantly moving.

Let's see what agendas come up and then work out a concrete plan of action after.

Agreed about planning later but as far as compensation I'm offering you points. See plural. Not just my sftt. I can give you my racial pn so then you would have multiple opportunities to get imperial every round. Make an effort to hold Rex, and you more or less will win this game.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

This reminds me - when does your racial PN get used? Could I, for example, use the strategy card I picked, THEN use the racial PN, get the SC you picked, and then use that?

You Have To use It At The End Of The Strategy phase. So you only get one strategy card per round.

That makes more sense, otherwise what a powerful PN that would be.

So I would have to give it to you during the agenda phase. And speaking of that my only trading partners are gnaw and tatts. Seriously doubt either will be willing to trade me for their commodities so during that phas will you give me 3 trade goods for my trade agreement pn?

Would you accept a piece of paper with the word TRADE GOODS written in crayon on it? Because if you want real ones, you're looking at the wrong person, I'm broke.

D'rek before we get further into a pointless war over mansa 3, I'm clearing out back through the wormhole next turn.


You say that, but you let Morgoth block the Beta wormhole and Gnaw is blocking the Alpha wormhole nearest you, so this seems a bit iffy even if you had an Unexpected Action card. Can you be more specific?



Mallice I would guess. But surely he meant next round rather than turn, otherwise what was the point?


Yeah I meant next round, I'll be researching dreads 2 and moving to a hex with a wormhole on it.

I did that with the Nekro, though I guess I was far more discriminate in my choice of targets. Though to be fair, I doubt IH is angry at you for attacking him per se. Rather he seemed a little offended you'd offer such a terrible deal. Space Ghosts have no skin you know, insults go straight to the core.


This I was busy at work and the offer was so ludicrously bad I rejected it out of hand, I'd have probably come to terms with a better deal with more time but no way I'm handing over 6 TG just because khell says he is going to attack me.

Also I'm now offering my services to everyone who khell has pissed off to remove his ball of blackmail from the board.

So not really next turn at all. More like "sometime vaguely in the next round, after tech, at some point" ...?

@Gnaw - presumably you would be willing to move the Destroyer in the alpha-wormhole out of the way in order for IH to come back through there, since it would mean IH taking/diverting Khell for you, yes?

Oh ye of little faith. I didn't need Khell to hold on for a few more rounds. Even teaming up on me like you and Tatts are doing. Now I might have a chance to bloody your nose. I still stand by my statement when you first attacked me that that move will sink both of our games. Looking more and more prophetic as time goes by.

Hmm. Good point maybe.

IH do you need that alpha wormhole cleared?

Not sure what your CTs/expected CT refreshes are going to be like - you may want to move it now if you have the available moves, or it may be better to wait until the opportune time next round.

I will send one of my Destroyers to the other side to block Khell in/cut off reinforcements, as well.
