Is there a secret objective with fighters or something that IH may be able to complete?


Adapt New Strategies
Form A spy Network
Master the Laws of Physics


These are the only 3 he can possibly score. That's right isn't it?

I can't form a spy network, Tapper stole an action card from me.

The other two I could score yes.

[Galactic Council]

Resolved the Arc Prime combat, the rest will have to wait till tomorrow.

Blend, Gnaw you're trading together?
twelve, up for a commodoty exchange then? Tapper alternatively? Tatts, Morgoth?

Always.

On your turn then please and thank you

[twelve]

Tapper, Morgoth, please make note of our exchange of trade goods on your next posts. Tapper I'll exchange 1 commodity and 5 tgs for your 6 and Morgoth it's a straight 2 for 2 commodities swap.

Well shit.

Instead of you guys letting me build up with logistics and going all in to prevent IH from winning this round, you've actively worked to sabotage my ability to hold out and forced me to pass. Here we are with IH in all likelyhood winning this round while you guys fap about negotiating for all sorts of nonsense with twelve.

I can't pretend to say I understand your motivations, but I at least can blame myself from stretching myself too thin and leaving an opening for Gnaw and D'rek to attack me.

Gnaw, I will obviously hate you to the end of my days, but I would have done the same I expect.

I mean... you put an enormous fleet in-between IH's homeworld and everyone else, locked it down with Diplomacy, and then didn't do anything with it. Did you really think anyone else was going to somehow get a bigger fleet than IH's homeworld force *and* somehow get it around your big wall?

We still removed his everything else :shrug:

That 'enormous fleet' was nowhere near strong enough to beat IHs fleet and take a planet, even before he reinforced it. There was no way for me to attack right away, which was blindingly obvious I'd have thought. So I had to hold on until I could produce in my homeworld first.

What would you have built that could make it to IH's homeworld this round?

I have flank speed, but that hardly matters now.

[Galactic Council]

Tatts' and Drek's actions resolved, and map has been updated.

[Tattersail_]

Can D'rek elect to exhaust a planet if it is already exhausted? I had no planets to exhaust so by the letter of the action card it cannot be completed no? Not that I am bothered either way, I just saw this debate somewhere.

[Imperial Historian]

CI | Reparations | Play during the other player's Tactical Action | After another player gains control of a planet you control exhaust a planet they control and ready a planet you control.

Usually and means you have to do both doesn't it , is that the actual wording of the card?

[twelve]

Didn't we have this discussion last game when D'rek used that card. I think it was ruled fine how she used it.

The only thread I was able to find on Boardgame geek is just as ambiguous as the wording. My instinct would be to allow it as played - it doesn't say "You MUST exhaust a planet" so I wouldn't say it's absolutely mandatory.

It's the same idea, in my head, as having to put a CT down when you use the Construction secondary. If you already have a CT on that hex, you can still use the Construction secondary, you just don't put a second CT down because you can only have one CT per race on each hex in a round.

I also refresh and trade with twelve.

Well you don’t actually, not until your turn comes around

Thanks everyone, direct hit and flank speed in morgoths hands, was what I was most worried about.

No, I think when I used it last game the planet was not exhausted. Can't believe I've had this (dumb) card 3 times in 2 games...

[twelve]

Well I've played this game 3 times and have yet to get either politics or leadership strategy cards.

[D'rek]

If Khell decides it's not valid that's fine, and I can modify the post and will at least still build the destroyer with TG.

Dude. Once you passed you should have sold that to me. Our sector would look quite different right now with that.

My bad for not asking.
