Actually, would he have been able to use QDN once the round finished? That'd mean Twelve would get the leadership strategy.

No as Gnaw gains tokens during the status phase. He can always have the token to spend.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

hey twelve, how hungrily are you eyeing MR this round?

Why do you ask? You offering me something?


It depends. I should be perfectly capable of holding it against you if I want to, but that would mean I'd be hampered in my other endeavors. I could be convinced to relinquish it to you at the beginning of next round, when I've gotten all the use I can of it. I very much doubt I'll be allowed another round of imperial.

In other words, take it first round so he doesn't get the benefit from using it and having Mec Rex :)

Maybe. It's not a sure bet, and if I don't have any good action cards, and I don't use my racial ability to rerol until I crush him, I could still simply chose to use my retreat card and wipe him out later with the addition of another dread and the flagship. But then that would be my focus and I'd rather it wasn't.

You want to dance some more, Tatts? I'm still up for a peaceful withdrawal, if you will accept it this time.


What does that entail?

I don't know how we can affect the game from here.


How about this. I will peacefully leave Arnor/Lor and put myself fully towards IH. It will take a few turns. If and when you've actually let them leave without attacking, I'll play Politics and make you speaker. Thereafter we shant attack each other forever.


I'll agree to this. The PDS in Nevant. I have a card that destroys that. It will stop firing on me every time I move. Its served its purpose, would it piss you off greatly if I removed it? It also allows me to stall whilst you move.


Yeah, okay.

Alright, so I’m considering rerunning the battle in Gwynan, with dreads and other units instead of a War Sun attacking. The probability is that the battle goes the same way. The major difference (other than Gnaw not yet having a War Sun) is that Gnaw does NOT lose his Herrah troops in Quann because they go to Gwynan instead (and Blend keeps two infantry rather than one in Quann). Xxehan still gets taken, the racial PN and action card still gets used.

The other major difference is that Blend’s War Sun may successfully retreat to Quann if Gnaw doesn’t get enough hits in. Unfortunately, if that happens, then I doubt either will want to play their first moves this round the way they have done.

Thoughts? Do it or just leave it?


I like this or the TG option. Even if it's such a chaotic cascade of events and decisions that we cannot really predict how things would have gone, Blend should still get something. It's, like, good sportsmanship kinda thing?

Let's just move on from it guys. Like, 10TGs when you have nothing to do with them is not even useful. I will sit here in my nicely diplomacied Silvano and watch the game end. Have fun. Enjoy.

You could give me 10 TG's for my racial and trade PN? :)

No, No you can't. Even with a morale boost and shields holding I will take Rex from you. Though you wold be able to push my ships back off I would still be able to hold the planet against your flagship, dread and 2 infantry on the counter attack. So the question to you is what are 2 CT and a VP worth to you? I agree that IH is the immediate threat and I would like for you to actually do something about it and I'm all for you relinquishing Rex to me at the end of this round using that skilled retreat card you stole from me but the the price has to be right.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Morgoth, Why would you use all those trade goods to keep Rex? You are so close to scoring the trade good objective. Though i must admit I didn't factor that into my battle calculations. It does make the fight a lot closer but I need to make a move if I'm to have amoon shot at even getting close to winning

But that would have been the case anyway, even if say your WS had survived to this round. You need to build a space dock, in Silvano. And then use Logistics to build.

So I’m going with the TGs and Blend, you can use them or not, it’s up to you.

Edit: sorry, not Logistics as it’s not a home system. Build the following round then.

And if you want to add in a Leadership secondary use, you can.

Morgoth, If you give me 3 trade goods on my turn and then agree to attack Starpoint and New Abilon as your first action and agree to use the skilled retreat card when i do attack Rex I'll hold off my attack of Rex until you have used it for the CT and VP.

Hm, I have a suggestion that you might find agreeable, but I'm working late today, so it'll have to wait until this evening.
