I'm sure someone must have the plague action card. I suspect Morgoth currently has it for some reason. That would definitely help.


Plague will probably still leave like 5 infantry there though. It's a risk. I guess X-89 can still be the backup, as long as Tech isn't played early.

Doesn't IH's flagship neutralize Morgoth's sustain damage advantage? I was thinking Morgoth then Gnaw fly in and ding up IH and you grab logistics and come in behind to finish up and then use Logistics to nuke and invade or am I not understanding a mechanic correctly?


I think Morgoth can still win despite that. But hard to say for sure.

Nice of twelve to volunteer drek, gnaw and morgoths fleets to fight me without offering anything himself :)

You are too far away and even if you were not they are all in my way to get to you.

And go backwards in points? I don't think so. If there is a senario where doing so will gain me the victory sure but I'm pretty sure that the game will be won by either IH or Morgoth well before then.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

No one can beat the tax collectors, rightful rulers of the galaxy. 😛

Khell is going to have a lot of rolling to do next round.

Taxation without representation... hmm mm sounds very familiar, let me peruse the Solaran history books. I'm sure there is a precedent for the Mentak's current situation.

I’m away again Friday-Friday for Easter break, but only going to Devon so *should* be fine with modding. But just in case I’m slower getting to things over the next week, that’s why.

Similar to Morgoth from last week.

There was that one time Morgoth got divorced and left the forum for, like, 6 months whilst in the middle of an Eclipse game, so by comparison this is no big deal :)

I've stuck in a provisional on the off chance the game moves forward. I'm away for the weekend too.

Yeah, sorry guys! I’ve been on a road trip in Spain and for whatever reason the internett refused to work on mine and my gfs phones. We’re at her parents house now and they have wifif.

I’m really sorry keeping the game for so long.

Nom, IH, I'm thinking that if I don't attack Morgoth as my last action he is just going to pick up Imperial again, kick me off of Rex and win the game. If I do press my attack and depending on which hex I attack what are the chances that you guys don't pds fire me?

Where are you thinking of attacking him? I need to have a look at the map properly before agreeing to anything but I don't see why I wouldn't agree to not PDS you.

No worries ;)

And look Gnaw, Morgoth did exactly what I said he would!

Either the alpha wormhole to take out his flagship or the system south of Rex.

@ Morgoth: What are you using for your 4 resources to build? In your update you haven't exhausted any planets and your TGs haven't gone down.

And are you taking the ground force from Arc Prime or Wren Terra?

@Gnaw: I don't think you need to spend 1TG as you have Sarween Tools, and your remaining planets exhaust for 12 resources, which is how much you need for a war sun and 2 infantry.

Gnaw has 1 tactical CT left.
Morgoth attacks one of Gnaw's planets.
Gnaw builds a war sun.
Instead of taking any sort of counterattack or retribution against Morgoth, Gnaw spends his last CT on Dal Bootha.

Everyone: ;) :) :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:
