Don't ask to gang up on me with others when you laid the bed yourself D'rek. I asked early on to negotiate territory and you just come up with you are going to take it and ignore any communication with me. It was only last round that you mentioned anything like ceasefire. You used an action card to get there and I am certain you'd have approached my territory sooner rather than later. It is what it is, you've got a mighty system going on with no contest from either Blend or myself. I think by doing this I push you back just a little from your cushy position.

I am quite certain confident with what action cards I hold that I'll be able to repel your attack if I need to but would rather not have to.

And there it is.

Hey Blend, can I borrow your racial PN? Or, did you want a crack at Tatts emptied-out planets yourself? I'll move the wormholes for you if you want to occupy Lazar/Sakulag or Qucenn/Rarron

Tapper has my racial PN at the moment. I would have otherwise!

Your justification is meaningless. Fact is you just left two juicy systems completely open, *and* you have just about 0 resources left to build more ships with (even less once I use Reparations on you), and Creuss with its wormholes might enjoy occupying those empty systems since you'll be so poorly equipped to try retaking them. Who knows, maybe Blend has an SO that would benefit from doing so, too.

The rest of my round is going to be about taking MR, scoring Imperial, then reinforcing back home, so anything I might decide to do wouldn't happen until next round anyway.

I have action cards that help prevent people taking planets off me this round. Next round my ships will be free to move again.

Tatts on my next turn I'm putting in the trade for your racial pn.

Yes that's not a problem, I should have done it then

[Hugin & Munin]

Tatts put his invasion forces into his chat PM. I’m allowing that this time but told him and now all y’all to put them in the action post or I’m going to assume that no invasion was intended.

I'm pretty sure even with Harrow you can't bombard against PLANETARY SHIELD. Unless I'm missing something that is.

[Imperial Historian]

I don't think you can either. Interestingly I looked up harrow and you can use it against both planets in a system with just one ship.

That makes the war sun for the liziz considerably more terrifying!

[Tattersail_]

Regarding the invasion of Mellon, I am pretty sure both dreads use bombardment before combat. I put the provisionals in my PM as I didn't want D'rek seeing what action cards I wanted to use, in case she played hers differently. Next time I'll just put the action card use in PM. TI4 Battle Calculator must be broken because in both battles with all factors considered I had higher than 75% success rate.

@Trapper

so any plans for MX this round?

I will take it this round, likely on the fourth action.

Still going to go for it?

Bah. You're right.

I'll fix it in the morning.

To add to that discussion;

If my last ground unit dies, I'd still get to use Harrow one last time, as per its wording. Confirmed by Dane.

In terms of this combat,

Bombard Mellon first, with both dreads and plasma scoring, they'll hit on a 4.

Then ground combat round 1

then Harrow round 1

Then ground combat round 2

Harrow round 2 with both dreads and Plasma scoring I think.

The other planet is straight up infantry on infantry as D'rek has planetary shield.

I have 3 commodities left to trade. Is there anyone that still has commodities left to trade? If not anyone willing to sell their trade agreement for some trade goods at a discounted price?

I'll trade you my trade PN for your commodities. I'll also throw in a free trade if I gain the trade strategy token.

I've asked if you were up for a full swap like half a page ago and only just did the 1:1 with you, now having, coincidentally, 3 commoditites left

[Tattersail_]

There you go, straight 3:3

I thought you only had 1 available as you were trading with the Winnu for your other 3. Looks like my mistake. I'll gladly trade you for the other 3.
