Bah, well everything kind of fell apart when Khell moved into the nebula anyway. And I had hoped to win that battle, with the pds and the defence grid and morale boost, leaving me in control of the planet and my fleet safe in the nebula.

IH you can have my SFTT for 2 TGs. It should last longer than Twelve's.

Edit. It's not just 2 TGs, it is a guarantee that you'd not be attacking me too. I'm assuming you weren't going to anyway.

Hmm. About 2TG and your trade PN?

He's totally attacking you for vp because you left yourself wide open and you didn't reinforce abyz/Fria and took what backup you did have in the other direction. Tatts do you know why? He's playing for points. Have fun racing your fleet back towards your undefeated homeworlds.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

FWIW IH, I pointedly did not use Peace Accords to take Lodd Eru.

Blend, also you destroyed a cruiser in Thibah instead of the carrier.

@IH: real curious to see where your fleet is going to go... you've been stalling real hard to not move it yet... but if it doesn't do anything that offends me, what were you thinking for strategy card next round, since you're second pick? I was going to go TECH, but if you have your heart set on it I could let it go for 2 TG, or some sort of PN exchange.

@Tapper: sorry about letting some green things slip into the Nevant DMZ. Hopefully I can clear them up without plopping a whole fleet between us.


I was mainly stalling to see what would happen and if any opportunities came up. You'll note I didn't attack starpoint when I easily could have.

I was assuming you'd get construction to get more of your fleet on the board and be able to move it, but not to fussed. I guess I'd pay 1tg for tech.

I want to keep mansa 3 until I can score the 4 hazardous planets are you willing to cede it to me until then for me staying out of your business with morgoth?

Twelve does make a good point, abyz fria and your homeworld are pretty undefended, and khell has made a mess of my plans to score a VP with 4 hazardous planets.

If you give me your support for the throne and cede me mansa 3 until I score the 4 hazardous planets VP I'll move my fleet away back through the wormhole.

They are not undefended. I can build in either one, and have a fleet either side. I have action cards that can free up systems so I am in a good position. We are in a good moment with me ceding Mansa 3 to you with whatever army you brought and once you have Bereg back you'll have scored the VP.

How about my SFTT and promise not to take Mansa 3 until after you've scored the hazardous VP for 2 TG's. I don't want to give my SFTT away for nothing and we've already had previous agreements that have held true.

Ha I just reread it and realised you wanted me to give you 2tg I assumed you were giving me 2 TG in the first deal and I was asking for mansa 3 instead.

Hmmm what about if you get d'rek to agree to cede mansa 3 to me, I'll clear out and give you 2 TG in exchange for your sftt. I'll keep my forces away unless khell or somebody makes a move on mansa 3 before I can score it.

D'rek as per IH's last post, would you be willing to let him have it, until he is able to score the Hazardous VP, if he moves his ships back through the wormhole?

You'll get my PB's again next round to keep our relations good.

4 tgs to make a 4tg dread from 2tg cruiser? The price difference between them is 2 tgs so I'm not paying more than that

Question: do Ragh/ Lisis count as a Home System for the purposes of Expand Borders (based on the back of the hex), or does only Jord qualify as a Home System for Sol?

Initially I thought it would have counted but a Google suggests it doesn't:
https://boardgamegee...d-subdue-galaxy

I think it depends on the exact wording of the card. Think this is a mod call.

Thanks!

The Glossary doesn't define it on the planet entry, but it does count Home Systems as a different category, and the text I guess refers to that. Since Home Systems have a different back and never a planetary trait, I guess the 'no' is logical.
And that will force me into taking a risk other than pass. Sorry, Khell.

Well, I have a fleet that I cant do much with now that it turns out I can't bring gfs with me when I retreat. I'd be amendable to suggestions as to what I'll use it for.
