We are waiting on D'rek regarding her ship's action, then it is D'rek's turn

Both Nom and Khell have actions to play. That is it for this round.

Tatts, I’m not certain what you’re planning but I think my plan for the next round is going to conflict with yours. Leadership on any turn except the first will be a bad idea.

Can you elaborate? What strategy card are you going to pick, I think you Have to take politics if you want to stay in rotation but I think you should take something else if you want things to develop nicely and prevent others from getting into a better position. It is within my best interest to stall leadership 1 turn Gnaw. Can you tell me why it wouldn't?

If you want more of a clue then I can elaborate further.

Diplomacy. And playing it turn 1 on Everra. We can’t eliminate Twelve the next round but I can strangle his resources. Which is the essence of war.

Twelve will be starved for moves, and blocking Everra won't be as good as blocking him from building PDS' I think. My plan is to increase fleet supply and moves this round and get into position.

Can’t stop him from building the second PDS. But rules say only 2 per planet.

Ah, that makes my construction theory off. If Leadership and Technology are going to be taken, then I was going to take Trade to stop that avenue. Block the free refresh, give refreshes to you and D'rek and others

That makes sense. Except I’d rather pay for a refresh than have him get politics.

Ha ha, that's why I was assuming you'd be taking Politics.

Twelve owes me 3TG let's not be stopping his refresh.

Ah, you have his trade PN? I remember, fair enough.

[Gnaw]

The alternative is I take politics and you Diplomacy. Which is actually smarter. You use it turn 1 to protect Thibah. He can attack me forcing me to use Nullification Field. Those dreads can’t move then.

[Gnaw]

And I think the plan for round 4 should be for me to attack Winnu. I'll lose but I'll soften him up for you to finish him off.

Edit: damn Everra for being a nebula.

Drek pointed out that I missed Khell's bombardment step in that fight over Tura Nora - will be updating that fight accordingly.

If he moved into Thibah and you hit him with your PDS then his dreads will sustain damage and that cheap fleet in there will fight to the death, whilost I'll be building more ships in Sakalug to attack him next round. It'd not be smart to attack me or you. He's safer with his PDS in his HW

That seemed unnecessary, D'rek. Are you actually trying to start something between us?

Khellendros, on 26 July 2018 - 08:06 AM, said:

D'rek, Blend can confirm that I intended to pass rather than take TN. But your aggression has changed my mind. If you have Unexpected Action and plan to move past me into my systems, then well played. Otherwise, what were you thinking?

Hahaha, suuuuuuuure. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. You're so believable. Don't try to get all up on a high horse dreadnought, no one is buying it, Khell. You're a warmonger, just own up to it, 'cause you're not fooling anyone.

Invoking the moderator is just low, Khell (and also completely meaningless... Blend can likewise confirm that I told him that Khell is such a super swell person full of flowers and honey and I hope he gets a pet panda... it doesn't mean shit).

I think we're better off keeping him out of Thibah. If he takes that he can escape. As long as he's bottled up on one planet he can't do much except build a fortress system. Which requires him to keep pumping CTs into fleet. I'm fine with that.

Remember, this thing is going to 14 points. It's going to be a LONG game. Given the map, I think Morgoth through to you are in a good position. The others IMO are going to be fighting each other over their superior resource systems. Khell being a wild card.

Funnily enough, Drek's paranoia really is getting the better of her. I really don't have any plans in that direction. I was going to make one more move to take Silvano and then pass, in order to save the CTs for next round. And next round I planned on [redacted] The way she's talking, she may inadvertently start a war she doesn't need to
