That fight went as expected. I'd have hoped for only 2 dreads remaining.


It could have went worse. I’m happy with the results.

Damn direct hit card. If not for that I'd still have all 4 dreads still.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Gnaw you should win the fight hands down now, as long as you move in first turn. Twelve game will be over.

Well, at least you can take some solace in them severely hampering their own chances at victory for very little benefit.

I have to say, I really like how the Arborec plays. I just haven't been good at fully utilizing their strenghts so far.

If you give me your racial PN, I will try, if available, to pick up a card with higher initiative than Gnaw's, and then swap it with you so you can go before him.

No, Tatts can still do another action.

Oh wait, he's taking Leadership isn't he. Better hope for an awesome agenda then I guess.

Tatts and Gnaw are given the leadership and diplomacy cards per their agreement with whoever they selected as speaker. I think D'rek. So I'm screwed in terms of initiative.

I have an action card I can play that might help but if either of them have a sabotage I'm screwed.

If they do, maybe someone will sabotage their sabotage. Is that allowed?

Nope. I'm feeling hopeful though. 2 have been played already so the odds either of them have one are pretty low.

Could I have your racial PN anyway? Not saying I'll use it (especially if it's worse for you if I do), but it potentially gives another option.

I think gnaws racial ability is effectively a sabotage. In fact I think he's the only one able to sabotage a sabotage.

Gnaw battle calculator has you at 97% win in battle and even with just 2 GF's you have 78% chance at ground battle victory.

That is your Flagship, 2 Dreadnoughts, 1 Cruiser, 2 Fighters and 2 GF's versus his 3 dreadnoughts, PDS and 3 GF's.

So I am going to build a light army this round and a meatier army next round.

I'm thinking parking 2 cruisers in Sakalug, 1 Carrier and some GF's.

What are your thoughts before I take my last turn. I could build 3 dreads this round but don't see the point just yet

I do enjoy playing with you. I'm thinking of it this way, it's been so hard to take one hex off you. Like very, very hard. Imagine letting you get to a point were you have Mecatol Rex and have built up your fleet. You'd be impossible to kick out.

Honestly you should have increased your fleet capacity by one and built your flagship this round. That flagship would've saved you so much.

So wait... Tatts has been spending all this time and effort to give Gnaw twelve's homeworld?

I was puzzled as to what Gnaw got out of this deal, now I have no idea what tatts got out of it.
