Help
I’ll be in the air most of tomorrow. Have to go back east for a funeral. Good news is that it shouldn’t affect the game any given I have last ‘choice’ of strategy card.

Twelve, as you're going to finish the game anyway, could I have a refresh for myself and IH please?

Do you have IH's Trade Agreement?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I do.
Yeah sure as long as you wait until after my second turn to make any trades using your commodities or trade goods.

In exchange for Tatts trade agreement Pn sure. And you also wait until after my second action to do any trades.

Pheeeeeeew. I knew Public Disgrace would be out there somewhere and was pretty afraid of it. No idea why you used it on IH, Twelve, but I like it!

I have my reasons. Mostly petty. It was going to be used on Tatts so he couldn't get better initiative than me but I value ending the game more this round than putting the exclamation point on what a bad strategy he and Gnaw employed this game.

Will I be getting a free refresh from you too, twelve? If so there's a decent chance of the game ending this round. If we go for the plan you suggested earlier.
Take good care to keep relations civil

Bit late for that now, non?
Too far away and he's got far too many units to be able to make any sort of HW play. If I had an Unexpected Action card, I could potentially do something with wormholes, but that just got played so no chance of anyone having it to trade. Maaaaaybe Khell with Logistics could do something, but nothing much in it for him, I'd hardly expect/want to impose on him to pick up that slack for us.

Without it being a VP gainer for me I'd hesitate to do it (and I suspect that if I tried Twelve would rescind his free refresh offer for me, which would definitely curtail my own VP gains this round). That is, such a move would need to help me stay in contention as well as stop Morgoth winning (not to mention the agreement I have with Morghy not to to attack). I also don't really know how I could stop him from winning with anything I'd do, if he's going to pick up the VPs from twelve's trade goods.

Well a moratorium on trades with twelve and morgoth could help.
Moving a wormhole into twelves territory so every trade he makes nom can loot, would make there plan difficult.
If morgoth doesn't get 10 vp, he still has a shot at gaining 2vp from spending 16 resources so reducing the number of planets he has would stop that.
And then he still has to score an additional secret objective, so moves to stop him doing that could also be beneficial.
So basically if someone wants to use my wormholes to stop this I can help.
