D'rek,

You now have an opportunity to clear out of Rex to the Beta Wormhole to save your troops. I'm confident in my victory but would rather not risk the troop loss if we can avoid it.

You must have a couple really good action cards to be that confident in your victory (a Maneuvering Jets and a Morale Boost, perhaps?). But nah, it'll be fun to play it out and I'll get moneys, too, so come forth and let's battle!

Or she could you know, be d'rek and move and take ensapta, and block you from rex entirely... You know in the classic d'rek style of making the move you least wanted her to make.

[D'rek]

Although I don't see why you guys didn't consider that I could just hop onto Esapta now and block you

xpost - yeah that^^

[Imperial Historian]

I have just read eres siphons... Why did I give you my racial, so many TGs!

[Tapper]

In Gnaw's fight: Cruiser II cannot sustain damage, I assume the Carrier is meant?

Oh she can and I realized that even before before asking. But I was wanting to try the carrrot first. So here is my carrot offering. If you move out of Rex with your infant to the beta wormhole I'll pay your 2 tg fee to stand down your pds. If you don't move then I'm not paying and we fight it out and if you move to Ensapta well... just know I hold a flank speed.

I mean... that's good for me. I would get Ensapta and you'd just go around. Everyone would be happy, right?

[Tattersail_]

Just take it one round at a time Twelve, I doubt anyone could stop you next time round. That's a lot of infantry you have. You may as well take Ensapta now and be primed for Mex Rex next round.

No I couldn't go around. All other access to Rex is blocked. But you know what isn't blocked and unguarded outside some pdses that don't worry me in the least? I want Rex not your homeworld. You said you wanted it for the influence and didn't expect to keep it. So now you have an opportunity to gain 5 resources from it and keep your ships and infantry plus the 2 command tokens or keep it for 1 more round at the expense of your homeworld. Your choice.

[twelve]

And fuck! You called my bluff. And I almost took warfare instead. Oh what might have been.

[D'rek]

Sorry, I thought you left so I went ahead and posted. I didn't look at the map to both verifying you actually couldn't fly around with flank speed. Maybe IH or Tapper will move their ships for you.

Or, I've left orders to retreat from Ensapta to MR - just send, like, 1 destroyer to Ensapta from Winnu, and when my carrier retreats/dies send the ships you were planning to send to MR in the first place.

[Galactic Council]

You guys have it so easy with all your planets and resources and influence. I was a goddamn miracle worker with the Saar.

I thought I couldn't gain Rex with you blocking the way but I think I see a way to do it with an even better chance of taking Rex than before now that you've moved your troops.

Though graviton lasers... How much do I want to roll the die?

This is definitely the safest way but it would require me to not gain the value of Imperial. I've got some time before my next turn to figure it out.

Ahhhh, that way. The paper crane folding technique way. Yup, that'll work too
