Of course d'rek moves the wormhole in bereg the one thing I asked her not to do.

Note to all don't trust d'rek ever.


No way for me to have gone after Morgoth with the alpha WH. I waited until you moved your forces out of there, which is what you didn't want me to move the WH for.


And absolutely nothing to do with building a warsun and attacking my homeworld I'm sure.

Waiting to see the results of combats before making a move.

Just as a quick FYI - according to the game rules, once you run out of CTs in your reinforcements, you are not allowed to add more. There are 17 CTs for each race in the game. Technically Nom now has 18 on the board, and Tatts is right on the edge of all 17. I'm going to suspend the rule in this game, because I think it's a stupid rule, particularly in this format. There are similar rules for Fighters and Infantry based around the generic fighter and infantry tokens that come in the box game that we are also ignoring, so I don't think it's an issue to suspend this rule as well.

Nom - I'm assuming you don't want to invade Tar'mann if you win space combat vs Khell? You know, given you've got 1 GF vs 3 of Tapper's super GFs?

Alright, game map updated to the end of Drek's turn including the ships that were missing in Tatts' homeworld.

Twelve - please PM me when you've posted what tokens you're adding for Leadership.

Everyone (particularly those who are slacking off KHELL) - please ensure that your next post has a full update on it so that I can ensure we're all on the same page!

And what if she’s lonely in New York?)

I have to say, this has been an interesting game. I've been fairly lucky in positioning for VPs, but haven't done all that much really. My one foray out of my own systems ended in catastrophe, and I never really recovered militarily. I never got to have fun with the ever growing Arborec fleet, but I did get a lot of mileage out of how hard it is to dislodge my race from a planet once they get established.

Is nom bombarding/invading tarmann?

His post instructions are a bit vague, I would assume he is at least bombarding...

Also wouldn't nom have had his space cannons in that fight?

I had reverted all the changes I had made. Did you change yours yourself or did one of the admins do it to you?

The PDS made up for it with their defense roll though. I had hope right up until there.

Yeah, it's impressive to see how well you can hold on with almost zero unit upgrades. Planta they are not. But that's not the only reason for your win. If this were Civilization, I'd call it a Diplomatic Victory more than any other category, you've done well at not upsetting anyone and warding off situations like, say, a Khell migration.

So the theme behind Daxcive Animators is that lonely soldiers build robot gfs, hmm? :(

IH can I have your racial then? I'd be moving it and hoping to have a pop at Morgoth, I can move 2 cruisers and 2 infantry at the moment, maybe a dread and a fighter too. I'd maybe weaken Xxehan or I am open to suggestions on that front?

Ah, yes, I did miss Daxcive Animators - will add it next map update if I don't forget (remind me if I do). I also forgot to roll for the Letani Warrior regeneration - I'll add that to your post now, so don't forget to add them to the map during your next turn if any of them get regenerated!

I was given no order to invade/bombard, so I did not invade/bombard.

EDIT: In fact, he confirmed no invasion via PM.

He should have had his space cannons fire though no? Or did he not give that order?

The only person I can see who can stop morgoth is d'rek who can place a wormhole in the tile she has just invaded and then move a warsun from her homeworld to morgoths. With Harrow and the warsun turning off space cannon defense she has a decent chance.

D'rek has moved my wormhole so I can't hit any of morgoths world's with decent force.

Or if nom took back resculon and one of us took a one resource planet. Do you think you have a chance of taking a one resource planet tatts if you have the wormhole?

D'rek are you going to attack morgoth or do something else?

How will she be able to build a war sun and move?
