Morgoth when using Warfare, can I move a ship into the empty hex which has nothing in next to my HW?


"Systems that are empty or which you control"


Exactly, it is empty of both ships, planets and infantry. So I assume yes but just as an example, what if I chose to move a cruiser into each of the empty hexes surrounding Mecatol Rex, is this possible? I could score a VP that way.
Apt is the only one who reads this. Apt is nice.

I have a question for you Gnaw. Are you even going to try and score any more points this game? You haven't really been trying that hard up to this point as it is but you haven't negotiated with Tatts for Thiabah to gain the 4th Industrial planet. You've had a couple rounds where you could have tried to intimidate the council. You've had enough trade goods at various points to score that objective as well.

You've said taking my me out, which netted you all but Winnu, was a must for your game. Outside of me still being around you've had all my territory for multiple rounds and I'm sitting at zero points and could probably pass you if I gave up trying to defend against you and Tatts.

What are you doing? Do you still feel that this is the correct course of action? If not then talk to me. I'd like to try and finish this game not in last place or eliminated and I'm sure you would like a lot less pressure from having to waste resources and actions not gaining points.

What do you say?


I vastly underestimated the difficulty of eliminating you behind that fucking nebula. Which, btw, is partially your fault. Back in round 2 you performed an illegal action and none of us caught it.

You moved a dread from Winnu through Everra.

Spoiler


Had that not happened my game and yours would have been different.

As for my goals now?



Ccrysus and the Council of Xxcha have only desired a return of a Peace to our galaxy. History shows that force of arms alone can gain the Throne but Peace cannot be maintained by that alone. The Xxcha elimination of the Winnu proves our race unsuitable for the Throne. Once the Council faced that truth, clarity returned and a decision was reached. The Xxcha will be the first to swear Fealty to the only true Claimant to the Throne::

All Hail the birth of the Hacan Empire!

They will lead our galaxy to a prosperity that will dwarf that of the Lazax Imperium.
Guided by the Xxcha of course.


This made me chuckle! I wish I was in the running.


Gnaw read up just before that move, he used the secondary of warfare to move his dread into everra. Then he activated meer. Fully legal move, I remember thinking it was clever at the time.

How does that let you reach ensapta?

And more importantly why should I let you attack my friend gnaw and gain a point?

I'm quite happy to sell my PN to let you generate wormholes, or my action card to let you go from a to b, what you do with it is your business, but i'm not just going to move out of the way so you can attack my friend.


Awwwwwwwww

Alright fine, sell them to me.


What are you offering? I value both at 3TG. Give me your racial PN for mine and 3tg or equivalent and I'll play the action card when you want me too.

First it wasn't an illegal move as I used the warfare secondary to move the dread to Everra first then used a tactical action to move it to Meer system. Second, does this mean if Tatts agrees to call things off you'll back off as well?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Sorry, genuinely never even occurred to me. Also, up until the moment I was writing that action and checking the map, I thought it was actually a Creuss destroyer.

Oh, whoa, we're doing this now? I thought it'd be a couple turns from now (or at least after you decided on the SFTT business). I was hoping to have figured out a deal with Nom by then too, to avoid pillage, but oh well. I'll send the TG on my next turn.

Well if I did I would hardly tell you! ;) But no, I have no current plans to do so, and even if I did, getting through your PDSIIs would be pretty messy. In fact, I really have no plans of any kind at the moment, a bit lost about what my next steps should be.

Sit on Mecatol Rex and keep trying to get IMPERIAL, I guess. Hard to get that SC when we're at the butt-end of strategy selection order though... though if you attacked Gnaw to get Twelve's racial PN I'm sure he'd be willing to pick it for you ;)

Yes, there is always breaking my word and going in pretty much any direction which takes my fancy - but then what kind of lice-ridden homeless bear-bat would I be? ;)

I already gave it to him though I'm not sure why exactly. He did say he wod ask me if it was okay by me before he used it.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.
