If Gnaw's War Sun lives it nullifies that, no?

That’s what I was thinking but D’rek wouldn’t have asked... So I looked it up. The war sun nullifies the planetary shield, hence I can bombard and megan defense grid can’t be used, but the PDS still gets to shoot at the incoming infantry.

Huh, interesting, I didn't realize! I've added Drek's space cannon defense step to the post. Luckily for you it didn't make a difference.

Morgoth and/or IH: if I had a flank speed I could take care of your D'rek problem. Awful hard for her to win with a war sun and 2 destroyers guarding my infantry on 0.0.0 Trade it to Tatts on your turn.

I need all my trade goods, so you would have to pay Tatts' fee.


I don't have a flank speed, but I have a potential alternative, since you have light wave deflectors you could place the other wormhole in your homeworld which would let you move through mallice to dreks homeworld in 2 moves.

I'd understand if you didn't want to though as it would leave your homeworld open to nom.


Oooohhhhh.

Yes, I do believe that will work just fine. I've lost so badly that fucking with D'rek is the only fun left to be had.

😁





I mean, what else is there to life?


You know Morgoth, if you really want to hear her scream...don’t score the 14th point. Make us go into the another round with her having every advantage...and not owning her home system.

Her defense missed, so there was no update to do. The last version of the map on the google drive that I linked to further upthread should still be the most up to date version!

Nope. That one still shows her flagship and not my ships. 😁

And I moved 3 infantry, not 2.

Haha, yeah wouldn't that be amusing. Alas that would give away the victory, and to be honest, I am ready to wrap up this game. I'd happily play another one, but I've not had as much fun being locked up in the corner, even though it's been good from a pure points gathering perspective.

Yeah, I have no desire to drag this on unnecessarily. And I wouldn't be frustrated by such a thing anyway, as I would know Morgoth had willingly chosen not to end it when he could. Even if I or someone else were to technically win after that, it wouldn't really feel like much of a win now would it.

Uh, no I didn’t realise. Right, is there anything I can do with my final action that can in any way stop Morgoth or whoever from winning?

Sorry for the delay, it slipped my mind again last night.

The Saar came, they saw, they conquered (a little), and they weren't impressed. They're going back home.

Thoae bombardment rolls are seriously intimidating, btw.
