Active player goes first right? So actually D’rek’s rolls should be my rolls

I was going to point out that as active player, khells hits should have resolved first so d'rek wouldn't get euclidean shielding, but d'rek gained a tech via assault cannon so it's moot.

If we want to get full rules-lawyer, I'd argue that the wording of Step 4 isn't "each player resolves the hits they produced", it's "each player assigns the hits their opponent produced", and so if Khell, as active player, does Step 4 first, then he assigns the hits I produced to his ships first, and then I assign the hits Khell produced to my ships.

Anyway, it's resolved now, I'm going to leave it as is because I don't really think it would have made a huge difference to the battle considering how well D'rek rolled!

Ya, and like IH said, with the Assault Cannon it's entirely a moot point here, we're just being pedantic

Yes, I wasn’t being serious! Funny, that was my first (and last) battle of the whole game. D’rek’s had some serious good luck in her fights. Now to find that bar where Twelve is still drowning his sorrows and join him.

D'rek are you still planning to take the 3 planet system?

Yup. It might stretch me thinner than I'd like now that there's less/weaker forces to bring, but there's not much choice if we want to stop Toaster.

I have to wonder, Khell, were you simply guessing that neither Nom nor IH would space cannon you? It was a relatively close battle as it stood... to have started the battle with 4 graviton laser shots hitting you before it even began would have been nigh-hopeless. And they had plenty of motive for it, seeing as how you were squashing my ability to take a system from Toaster, but you didn't seem to try and negotiate any goodwill from them before the attack...?

Also I'm guessing you didn't use sustain damage on the flagship for fear of a Direct Hit, which makes sense, but is a real shame given the flagship's ability.

Clear evidence that D'rek has made a deal with the devil for die rolls if you ask me.

Believe it or not there is a bar I sometimes go to call "Good Times"

Yes and yes. Nom seemed to be happy with my move and I thought that IH, while less happy, still felt knocking you down a bit gave him a better chance of winning.

And yeah, I guess I should have just risked the Direct Hit. But I’ve had such crappy luck with action cards that it seemed fated that you would have one if I had risked it.

[ToasTer86]

So who can stop D'Rek now if you take all my planets except home / a home system .

Think this is it right.?
Stop me and either IH or D'rek wins.

[Imperial Historian]

Why is everyone assuming I can win but completely discounting morgoth and twelve when I have less points than them?

I mean I'm flattered, but maths!

I actually didn't even realise I could space cannon, if I had I would have but not going to make blend reroll everything.

Because you are risking it all, and making very clear you are going to use most of your resources to attack me.

Nom & Morgoth seem quiet.

[Imperial Historian]

I'm really not risking much, I'm only sending in one fleet and spending a few CT/action cards which I have an excess of. I should have plenty of TG/resources for next round. I am exposing some of my planets a little, but those who could attack me all need to preserve CT to score, my pds should discourage or hold my sftt, and my systems aren't that valuable. I think it's worth the risk, challenging as its going to be with my likely position in the turn order.

[Morgoth]

Sorry you guys, I asked Blend to give me the SO from Imperial, but he didn't notice. I want to know what I have to work with before I chose what to do.

IH, do you still want me to play plague?

I'm not guaranteeing I'll attack Toaster's homeworld, but it gives me another option as to what to do with my attacking fleet.

[ToasTer86]

Can IH use TG's to "indoctrinate" my troops?

And as far as I know, he can only use it once, per planet and invasion.
So he can't take over, for example, 5 of my troops while landing on my home planet

I can only indoctrinate one of your troops yes.

[Khellendros]

Now that I'm basically out of the game, I'm suddenly very anxious for you guys to just get on with it

[Khellendros]

Twelve, I would like a refresh please. If there is a next round, I'm going to need all the resources I can get if I'm going to be disruptive in any way. No path to victory for me any longer, so you don't have to worry about giving resources to a potential rival (or hindrance, as you're too far away from me).
