Interesting. Very interesting.

If you did sabotage her flank speed then what does that stop? Just dread or flagship?

I'll pay an action card a round for 3 rounds?

I'll still lose the battle any way but I'm not retreating.


Already passed


You can still sabotage her card no?

You can sabotage when passed I believe.

Just realised if you do Sabotage her Gnaw then she will only have a dread and a destroyer that can move. It'd put a dampener on her situation for sure. Come on, live a little :)

Does she have to re-do her action if it is cancelled or fulfil it to the best of her ability without that card?

edit, if she leaves her Dread, then there's an above 50% chance that I destroy her flagship.

I have asked Khell not to resolve yet, as I am offering 3 action cards over 3 rounds to whoever sabotages that flank speed. If no one takes the offer then fair enough.

I have great resource production, but the lack of early influence planets resulted in me being unable to do a couple of things I really wanted to do this round. Note to self for future games, resources are not everything.

Battle resolved. It was all over once that flagship got to activate its special ability.

couldn't tatts carrier sustain damage?

And cool, that's the first time I've seen the Jol'Nar Flagship amount to anything.

Tatts, I have to ask: Why did you not Orbital Drop on Arnor? Sure there’s no way you could have known D’rek had a Flank Speed, but even so it was entirely unmanned and your most important planet after Jord. I don’t know if it would have made D’rek think twice about attacking, but you would have stood a good chance of keeping the planet and the space dock intact even if she won the space battle.

No, it was already damaged from previous PDS fire earlier this round.

Ah, I see. It's hard to keep track.

Well, there's a lot of action in this game. I like it!

I have to say tatts complete destruction at the hands of the jol nar is astonishing to watch. Theoretically all the advantages are in tatts hands but you wouldn't know it by how systematically d'rek has taken him apart.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see several eliminations this game now, whilst before I would have said eliminations are virtually impossible.

I honestly didn't expect an attack this round. I could've played diplomacy on those planets instead of my home system as well, but was greedy in my building choice.

It all goes back to the start, if I'd have thought she'd be aggressive I would've played aggressively too, but I thought she'd be passive and was willing to look elsewhere. The moment she took Jord was when I realised I'd be playing catch up with her plans. I'll have to go back to basics in Jord, and hope she fucks off and stops ruining my zen.

Being greedy is dangerous. It's why I went for more construction rather than taking MR this round. I could have gained tremendously, but I could also easily have lost Qucen'n-Rarron, and then where would I be?

Or maybe as Sol you should have played aggressive anyway and kicked those Jol-Nar nerdy wet butts early on :) But it’s not like I did that in the first game with Twelve’s Jol-Nar as my neighbour, so who am I to talk!

Granted I gave you my SFTT to cover my butt so you didn't have incentive to do just that.

Is it just Drek and I left unpassed? I have at least 2 more actions to do before I pass.

Me. But I pass when it comes back around to me as I have no action cards to use and am out of command tokens.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.
