Flying back to the UK tonight, I'll pass on my turn if there is any doubt.

Can I build infantry on Arretze?

Khell what are you thinking regarding my home system? Are we going to have to battle it out or are you going to move?

I'm thinking of passing but if I move a ship what's the likelihood of you moving into the asteroid field first turn next round with everything from my home system?

I have myself at 95% to win the ground battle if it comes to that but you did leave Arretze unharmed which is why I am prepared to barter your withdrawal.

Can I still score objectives if I own a planet in my home system?

You can't build while the dock is blockaded, no.

As for objectives if you have one planet, I don't know.

Regarding my withdrawal, haven't really thought about it. Need to see what the next objective which comes up is before I can start any negotiations.

Oh I see, you want to know if you should move out of my way now so I can move out straight away next go.

Hmm. At the moment the only other close-to achievable objective for me is to own 6 planets. If I had some trade goods I could do the 'pay 5 trade goods' one instead though. But also if there was a 2VP achievable one next round obviously I'd want to go for that.

So yeah, I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm not saying no on moving out, but at this moment I really don't know what my next move should be.

Home planets do not count towards the own 6 planets but what you are saying is that you want to go all out.

I'll need an answer from D'rek regarding public objectives.

I may as well not move the carrier so retreating into that system is not an option.

But not passing just yet

Lol, no, your own home planets do not count. Someone else's do.

And that is not at all what I am saying. What I am saying is that if you provide me with a way to go after another objective, I'll probably take it.

Tatts yes you can build ground troops on blockaded space docks just not ships. To score public objectives you have to controll all planets in your home system.

I think he's moving out of my way.

But also, can he build 6 infantry or does that exceed production capacity?

Edit: Ah no it's ok, he upgraded his space docks.

Wanted to get to the computer to make a proper post, my CT count looked like I had 1 more than I should have and I still don't know which of my home planets I have available.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

This
Having just Winnu moving out of it to take my 2nd planet still sitting at 0 points knowing I'm not going to score any at the end of the round. Feels like a new game.

This stage of the round always does, due to people passing and people waiting to see if they do secondaries, and a mod who said they'd be back but hasn't shown yet.


State of play being that IH passed, goes to Morgoth who has already passed but he could still do the Logistics secondary if I am not mistaken. He'd need to confirm no secondary even though he probably assumes he needs to take no action and just wait for Gnaw to take his turn. Gnaw may be waiting for Morgoth to go as he might have overlooked his pass, or has not but is waiting on whether he wants to use the secondary of Logistics.

However, I have just went back and looked and it looks like I am wrong, as in it is Gnaw's turn, Morgoth decided not to use Logistics last time round, so Gnaw, then Nom, Then D'rek then me, is that right? Only ones that haven't passed?

Just the disjointed feel to the end of the round, I take partial blame for the game slowing down due to my holiday, taking so long on my turn, not pming anyone, and losing some enthusiasm due to Khell being a massive twat.
