You'll have to wait and see! The uncertainty about SOs in this game is great.

I still see a path to more points, and possible victory so I'm going to do my best to keep the game going until a better position is mathematically improbable.

I have been considering whether an attack on Toaster's homeworld instead of tork is the better option, odds are lower that i'll take a planet but then Toaster can't just win first turn next round. I'd need Tatts PN to make it a 50:50 shot though.

That said chances that the game goes to another round and I win seem slim, so probably not worth it as this way I'll more likley increase my average score compared to everyone else.

2 tgs it's all yours

Man I'm going stir crazy. I just looked at the map and saw that D'rek only has 1 Dread and no carriers to bring troops to take back her homeworld and thought I was a complete idiot for thinking I still might need to take influence off her and I wasted a fleet token for nothing. Then I realized that she has cruiser II and Super Dreads. This game has been going on so long I keep thinking everyone has reverted to starting tech positions.

Tatts you using that action card on your next turn? I'm thinking now is the time to kill some dudes to reduce the troop count she has available to retake her homeworld.

Can he play it on lirta if it's exhausted? Is the better option to try and stop her gaining CT by exhausting lirta when she refreshes it? Or I guess you can probably take lirta if you need to.

I thought it best to play it if she uses diplomacy to refresh it. That way infantry and planet get exhausted before she can use leadership

Nom how do you have 4 cruisers but 3 fleet capacity?

[Itwæs Nom]

Right

As I lost the 1 fct upon activation due to neuroglaive that means even if all the 4 cruisers survive space combat, one of them will have to be destroyed along with its infantry before it can land said unit right?

- assuming yes and editing accordingly

Ah not sure 4 will be entering combat tbh. I'll let others answer that one. I assume not

[Itwæs Nom]

Yeah that's correct

Moment of Truth. 3 boys vs 2 of mine..
Was really hoping IH would move in before you would. Then I could have retreated with the surviving forces of the first on Tequ//Torq round into Thibah.

Yup! No bombardment, destroyer might get a shot off, close infantry numbers, it could definitely go either way.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah this is where Tatts PN would make all the difference!

Waiting for Blend to resolve combat.

[ToasTer86]

Pfff 2 hits the first combat @NOM, brutal
Ok, game over for me. Unless somehow I win that space combat. But with Warfunding and +1 from Warfare that seems impossible. Odds are 91% for IH, 9% for me.
So I will use foresight and save my fleet for next round.

So who is now the most best contender?
Is it Twelve , IH or is it Morgoth who has speaker and could win first round with imperial next turn ?

Or you who will still have all those fleets, and almost certainly enough CT next round to score!

[ToasTer86]

Ok posted my turn which uses my tokens, not able to score 6 tokens anymore.

With this build I also improved my chances in space battle vs IH, while also protecting my Space Dock.

Nope, Morgoth gets imperial and he wins first turn.

*edit* and just to clarify I will do nothing to stop him, if he wins that is fine with me.
