You are in prime position to collect twelves planets as he moves on to pastures new.

You are in a great position to collect any laws as well.

But alright...

I agree with your sentiment. I'm constantly baffled by his choices.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I'm not interested in playing a several months long game just to survive and not finish at the bottom. Not fun for me.

Twelve, imho, chose from the beginning to go for revenge. He had several starting positions available and took a weaker one next to mine. He has consistently opened 'negotiations' with blackmail rather than deal making. I have no problem with blackmail being used when necessary (usually later game) but he has chosen it from the beginning and as his opening bargaining move. He could have taken imperial this round and scored points off it.
Those are not the actions of someone who is interested letting bygones be.

I can play cutthroat as I have shown and am not angry. Some days you eat the tiger and some days the tiger eats you. This game he's the one dining. *shrug*.

Apparently the guy depicted on the Sol card is an actual person - the RPG Manager for Fantasy Flight Games :)

Sorry folks. Went down to Big Sur for a few days. Only came up to the store for internet a couple of times. Will get things caught up tomorrow.

I want to bring a ship at full capacity into a system but I also want to pick up an infantry in the system I'm activating that I also have to fight a space combat. Will that work?

I want to attack Starpoint/New Albion with a ship maxed out with fighters but the infantry I want to pick up is in the same system. Do I pick up the infantry before combat and thus have to destroy the ship before combat or if still in excess capacity at the invasion phase?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

The act of picking up the infantry in the system would still be part of the movement step, so you'd exceed capacity before finishing movement and have to destroy a unit to fit in the capacity.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

I just need confirmation from Morgoth & Drek before I resolve their combat, then I will move on to Gnaw/Twelve's fight.

I'm going to wait and see what happens with twelve and gnaws battle before making my move. Retreats by either of them could affect what i do.

Who ended up with Gnaw's racial pn? What is the cost to take it off your hands? At some point I expect to have my action cards stolen so I want his pn as a deterrent.

Battle is currently paused to allow Twelve to update battle orders (and potentially destroy his Dread instead of his Carrier or Cruiser in the most recent round of Space Combat if he so wishes). Will continue once I hear back from Twelve!

I was favored by 3 to 1 to win this fight without Gnaw using action cards. And I'm on the verge to lose. Figures.

Ouch twelve, i was expecting gnaw to have some action cards which might swing things in his favour, but not for for things to swing so much without action cards! Unlucky.

Are you retreating? Waiting for a retreat, or definitely no retreats before I move next to rex.

Alright, the battle is now fully resolved.

Talk about EPIC, and bad, bad luck for Twelve! :(
