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

I have you at 1 tactical token left, but you have 2 in your last post. Did you remove one when invading Quann?

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.

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.

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!

Yeah, and the next thing that happened was the blind agression of the Jol Nar towards the peaceful Nekro. A shamefull display of unprovoked violence.

Map has been updated to beginning of turn 6.

Another case of going back to shooting school for the Muaat and Mentak

Dear god those were some poor rolls. I didn't think I'd win but I thought I'd kill something!

[Galactic Council]

Back to you, Blend.

[Blend]

There we go! I think I was the only one left unpassed, so I just posted my last 2 actions and a PASS.

Yeah, I noticed it as I was posting my new moves, and went back and fixed it on the Quann invasion post.

Everyone has passed (I hope!), status phase is now open, and map has been updated!

Shit. Khell, I can see why you resolved it the way you did, but I meant for provision 1 and prov 4 to not be combined together. Since IH owned the hex I wanted it to just follow P4 rules, not P1 and P4. Ie: The GLS is an incentive for people to pay me tg to abstain from shooting- no reason to waste it defending IT.

Sorry twelve.

Oh sure, I’m the bad guy here I feel I followed the instructions given.

You did, like I said I can see why you interpreted what I'd written the way you did. I should have specified not to combine provisionals and a superseding order for them, but I didn't think to do so. I'll make it into an unambiguous decision flow chart for you when I get a chance

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

Yay, but FYI you're doing Anti-Fighter Barrage wrong:

Quote

Jol-Nar:

1 Destroyer Anti-Fighter Barrage [9 (-1 Fragile) ~ 8) (no hits).

Sol:

1 Destroyer Anti-Fighter Barrage [6] (no hits).

Destroyers have "Anti-Fighter Barrage 9 (x2)" so they should each be making 2 dice rolls, not 1. Furthermore, AFB is not a combat roll, so Fragile doesn't apply to it (just like Space Cannon and Bombardment). So my destroyer's AFB roll that you posted should have hit, and both Tatts and I should have gotten one more die roll in our AFBs.

Yes, you’re right, and in fact I explained to tatts that fragile didn’t count for AFB and then did it anyway, sigh. And I swear I stared at that race sheet and didn’t see the x2, goddamn it! Even though I had done it previously!

Sooo, any opinions on how to resolve those errors. Do you want me to add the extra rolls/hits?

I'm happy to just leave it as is and move on, since I wasn't online to catch it quickly. It's not like every one of Tatts fighters hit me in every round.

[Tattersail_]

Whatever D'rek said. Khell can you post my update

Well I'm partial to since D'rek didnt intend for you to use her graviton lasars on my move to Rex to remove that and apply them to her fight with Tatts and reroll the whole thing.

Cool, thanks. Sorry about that to both of you, that was dumb.

Blend, I feel your combat resolution pain.

Now I don’t want anyone suspecting that this might mean that your mod is not all-seeing and all-knowing, because they are! I mean, we are. I mean, I am!

I redid the fights and really weirdly this time you lost your homeworld?! Sorry, Twelve, I guess this game really is against you!

Yeah, it's funny how one little mistake can have repercussions on the entire battle!

[Galactic Council]

No one seems to have noticed, but I have not revealed the agendas yet - this is because I realised that Morgoth never actually got back to me about whether he wanted the agendas left as is, or put at the bottom of the pack.

Edit: Of course, the game has moved on since he played Politics a while back. So I think I'm happy to just post the two which were on top and say he missed that opportunity.
