Does D'rek still retreat even though she won the fight?

She didn't win, you still have one cruiser left. She retreated before she could destroy that too

You must have missed my post about me sending in 2 cruisers when it was only legal to send one.

Yes I missed the post. Should have realised though. So the outcome is that your cruiser in Winnu remains there, your cruiser from Tura Nora is destroyed, and D'rek still retreats, I assume, because I don't think you can reverse that. I also forgot to put a Jol-Nar token from her reinforcements on MR. I will update the map in the morning. Suffice to say, Ensapta is now empty of ships.

Quote

If a player announced a retreat during the "Announce Retreats" step and if his opponent has no ships left in the system, the combat immediately ends and the retreat does not occur.

D’rek’s ship stays in the system.

Where did you find that? I was looking for ages for something to explain the scenario.

Can someone figure up the per hit rate of carriers, cruisers And Dreads this game? I bet the carriers are more than holding their own.

Ah, it’s a new point in the Living Rules errata - yes, D’rek’s Carrier stays at Ensapta, sorry twelve.

My $@! # luck! Well I wanted to gamble but seriously, that was a close to a sure bet as you get with 1v1 and I come up in the losing end. Unbelievable.

Well now what? Should I try my carrier's luck with IH's carrier and try for some value with imperial?

[twelve]

Carriers seem to be this game's most reliable unit so far.

Given that they're the weakest, that means Tatts' fighter IIs should be able to take out Blend's war sun.
Oh, and those squids can shoot!

WOW.

I'm not even all that happy. I *wanted* the carrier to retreat. Bah! But also hilarious! What a weird game this has become.

D'rek what are the chances you declare a retreat when I bring in my carrier? Will likely gain yet another 4 trade goods from it if you do.

Yup, absolutely. I will continuously try to retreat the Carrier whenever the chance happens. The carrier dealing damage doesn't actually change much of anything for me (though obviously in instances like this it can potentially affect yours or other players heavily), so I always want it to live as long as possible in the hopes it grants more money, rather than hoping for it to actually achieve any military success.

Tapper & Nom, If Morgoth could be convinced to give me the Speaker token would you two be willing to guarantee him the card of his choice?

Defeats the purpose of QDN then doesn't it?

If I get a guarantee that Leadership is mine, and you guys pay me a total of 2 tg, then sure.

Saves Tapper a CT and 3TG.

I’m in for 1 tg

Tatts, you know it’s your turn right?

Indeed

I'm just kinda broke atm

[Morgoth]

I have never actually played the Jol-Nar, or at least not as far as I can remember. But that tech seems pretty awesome.

[Tattersail_]

Yep I am here, posted when I woke up, but I just arrived in work.

You mean my cruiser 2?

With ambush?

And d'reks promise to defend my airspace with PDS2?

Seems risky.

That said I was surprised from the start that you didn't offer to pay me to moveve. What's your offer?

[Morgoth]

I would be very pleased if you all could update your posts to include your strategy card. It gets tiresome counting all the time to figure out which one you have, and also whether it has been used or not.

[Morgoth]

Incidentally, I am ready to play politics, and am positive to MacGnaw's suggestion. I would need to hear a confirmation from Tapper too though. 2 tg in total and a guarantee that Leadership is left for me.
