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.

I'll retreat if my dread somehow survives.

Doesn't my PDS also shoot once at your invading infantry, too?
Thoae bombardment rolls are seriously intimidating, btw.

Yeah, I think your shots were skipped, too.

Yeah, war sun bombardment is insane.

I’ve never had a game of TI where I built War Suns. I need to try that out.

IMO it's only really feasible in the 14-VP games. You'll never get to use it in time in 10-VP, except maaaaybe a L1z1x Inheritance Systems into War Suns very early strategy.

My $.02: the 14 point game here was a nice idea and doesn’t work. 10-12 would be more forum friendly. I think it stretched the game out too long.

Despite them looking like a weak faction overall, I am tempted to try the Muaat at some point, just to play around with the war suns.

Blend still has to resolve my battle for Tar'Mann, the result of which could change everything.

I assume that Blend will want to play in the next instalment, which means we'd need a new game mod - I nominate Gnaw as he has already been updating things this game so is clearly the person with the most requisite skills and experience but who has not yet officially modded

I would like to play, but I can see if I can help with map updates. I just need help figuring out the program or whatever.

Gnaw can't make the time commitment. Not even certain I'll play again right now unless the group would be ok with the possibility that an epidemic might wipe out a race mid-game.

Tatts, Nom: post your status phase so Morgoth can do his.

Do we usually do that or does Blend do something first? You need a placeholder? I'll do it today if not.

I have added in Tapper's Space Cannon Defense on MR. Drek now has 1 less infantry there.

Okay, so Nom needs to review his production on Lodor as I believe he's 1 resource/TG short for what he said he wanted to build and what he said he exhausted/used in TGs.

Will get the status phase going now.

Game map has been updated to the Status Phase excluding Khell's production on Tar'Mann which he was waiting for combat results to post, and assuming Nom has the resources and/or TGs necessary to afford his production on Lodor. Once Khell adds his production, and should Nom not be able to afford his production, I'll update accordingly.
