Quick announcement: I will be visiting family from this Friday until Sunday the 19th. I've spoken with Gnaw, and he has graciously agreed to do map updates for me during that time. I will be able to continue with the rest of my modding duties (though I will likely be a little bit less available than I currently am), so there should be no major interruption in gameplay!

[Tattersail_]

So right now it is Nom's turn, then Tapper's.

[Khellendros]

IH, I have only just realised while looking at the map that I stopped you from taking that 4 planets PO this round. You really should have accepted my offer.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah well you should have been more reasonable. Plus you are strong enough and only going to get stronger another 6tg and you start becoming dangerous.

[Tattersail_]

Tapper back to you

[Galactic Council]

Alright, for anyone who has seen the current version of the Silvano fight where I only allowed one of Nom's Infantry to survive when his Cruiser was destroyed, according to the rules, (Section 16.4 of the Rules Reference):

Quote

A player’s fighters and ground forces can exceed capacityduring combat. At the end of combat, he must destroy theexcess units.

Apologies for the mistake, I am currently rerolling the ground combat with 2 of Nom's infantry vs 1 of Khell's infantry.

[twelve]

Did you do the ambush rolls for Nom?

[Galactic Council]

Yikes... Plus I forgot Nom's frikkin Ambush ability.... Gah! This game is so complicated! Rerolling space combat.

[D'rek]

At the end of (space) combat you check capacity and destroy the excess infantry.

Then you proceed to the Invasion step (and an entirely separate ground combat).

[twelve]

Not sure if those hits(if any) prevent Khell from firing but if it does then Nom might not lose the cruiser after all.

Really? I figured it would all be considered one combat. Why would they say that Ground Forces also can exceed capacity during combat? For fighters, it makes sense... I guess maybe some race gets to use their GF as fighters?

They would have destroyed his ships before Khell could shoot if they hit, but neither of them hit, so it didn't change the space combat at all.

I've done a bit of research on Board Game Geek and apparently they ARE considered separate combats. So we go back to previous version of combat - aka Khell keeps Silvano.

[Galactic Council]

Alright, pretty sure I've got it all right now.

Sorry about that folks.

Posts re-ordered to be initiative order. I left the copied ones in quotes so its obvious which were moved. Blend can adjust to whatever he prefers after he sees them.

Thank you D'rek for doing that.

Tapper - apologies, I keep forgetting to ensure that people are playing in proper initiative order when I'm doing map updates. Will try to keep a better eye out.

Rest of you - STOP PLAYING BEFORE IT'S YOUR DAMN TURN!

Game map has been updated to the end of Morgoth's most recent turn (though may need to be updated again based on Morgoth's response to my PM re: Quann)

Morgoth has confirmed that he did not intend to invade Quann, so the map update I'm about to upload will reflect that!

[Galactic Council]

Alright, game map has been updated to the end of Tatts' turn, including fixing the Quann situation.

[Galactic Council]

And if my calculations are correct, D'rek is up!

[Khellendros]

Hmm, I did not see that result coming. Sorry Nom, that's really unlucky.

You’re just losing friends everywhere aren’t you?

Don’t worry, Twelve will stick by you to the end!

Done.

IIRC, it is just Morgoth > Nom > Me who have not yet passed
