Basically I will give my sftt to whoever puts substantial pressure on Gnaw to allow me to actually get to play the game. If someone does something to him that allows me to attack his damn flagship I'll give it to you. If attacking his destroyer gets him to pop his racial tech and I have a CT that I can use to attack him it's yours. I'd prefer the attack to destroy some of his ships but being able to move off my homeworld is more important. Putting pressure on Tatts would be helpful too as I haven't tried attacking Gnaw because he still thinks I want to attack him. All I wanted out of this game was a straight shot to Rex and turtle up. I guess I get to do the turtle thing without being able to score any points.
Yeah, and I'm not in a position to deliver all of that. :shrug:
It does surprise me you still haven't attacked Tatts instead, yet. I thought you were going to last round.
Uh, not that I'm encouraging it or anything...

At the moment I am torn between IH and D'rek.
I'd say, like Gnaw said that we'd get the strategy card we want.
Gnaw already claimed Technology, so for me it'd be Warfare.

So you make me an offer and dismiss it without awaiting a reply? That's some Art of the deal stuff right there

Because I didn't and still don't have enough capacity to bring enough fighters with me and gnaw would have hit me with his flagship, and be in a position to then attack me with his cruisers and flagship after my fight with Tatts. Game over for me. 8 shots from distance and I'm done. I have to take that damn ship out but I can't because he just cancels my action so I'm stuck waiting for an opportunity where I won't get eliminated by going on the offensive. Which is why I've offered my sftt to motivate someone to do just that but everyone is content to let Gnaw and Tatts waste resources and CT to try and fight me. Smart on everyone else's part. Just wish my 2 neighbors would wise up and get their heads out of their asses and realized it to.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

My math comes out quite a bit more in favour of you than yours... but hey if you want to keep holing up that's fine by me, as you say I like the distraction for Gnaw (Tatts, maybe not as much... feel he could've been helpful scaring away IH/Khell if he weren't busy with you, but them's the breaks).
Also, attacking Thibah and having Gnaw move his flagship to your HW would be *good* for you. Gives you multiple fronts you can attack on, and he can't use Nullification Field in all of them.

3 dreads and 2 fighters first getting bombarded with likely 2 hits. Then fighting Tatts 2 cruisers, carrier and 2 fighters. Say I only get hit once but likely twice. All three of my dreads have been dinged up best case. Now Gnaw comes in with 2 cruisers and his flagship. I get hit with 2 more hits from his pds. There goes my fighters. Odds are I probably win the fight with 1 maybe 2 dreads. Then my 1 troop has to fight his 2. I still don't take the planet. And even if I do its for a 1/1 planet. I then don't have any CT left to build anything else.
This is all the average likely outcome. Gnaw has been hitting closer to 80% of his pds hits instead of the 60% rate it should be and this game the die have not been kind to me so I'm a bit gun shy at taking a risk like that for so little payoff.

Question, how did Khell move to the hex below Rex? D'rek is in the asteroid field and Gnaw looks to have a cruiser in the other system that he could have traveled through.

Except Gnaw moved that cruiser there after Khell's turn using the Warfare secondary.

Ah missed that. Just was looking at Gnaws actions and didnt notice his secondary actions.

I like how you've lined up all my Fighters in rows. Possibly not the most sound tactical formation, but looks nice.

Lining them up all nice and pretty for D’rek to knock down...
