The only way it’s possible to prevent me from scoring a point this round is to take my homeworld and prevent me from taking it back.

I'm pretty sure IH will work on scoring his secret objective that's why he took leadership instead of Imperial. And Tatts will win if someone doesn't take a planet off him.

I took leadership as there is no PO I could feasibly score with it whilst holding my homeworld, I knew blend was gunning for my homeworld. I was hoping he'd maybe leave me a round to reinforce.

Oh well you get your free shot at torkan which is probably enough to get you the win before morgoth right?

This game has been very close.

With Diplomacy I can lock down berg/ Lirta IV so I can guarantee I can score the 2 VP objective. I have lower initiative than both Tatts and Morgoth so if it comes down to status phase I've got this. However doesnt Tatts just wins by popping Imperial and scoring the same objective in the action phase?

I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Well before you said that I'd assumed morgoth would stop him by taking a planet from him.

I'm shocked Blend didnt use that action card and come for me as its obvious I have what is needed to score the winning points.

I also have to block Morgoth's path to Torkan. He has 5 infantry vs Blends 4. If I dont stop his access then he also wins during the status phase so I cant diplo Berg/Lirta IV

I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I was also surprised he went for me.

I can only assume he has spark a rebellion

But then again attacking morgoth to protect torkan woukd have been the better play there.

Oh and you need to park your fleet over torkan if you are trying to stop morgoth taking it. The a and b wormholes are connected hasn't been played or discarded so that flagship can skip over to torkan loaded up with 6 infantry.

Yeah I have to. Missed the flagship play so I definitely have to do that to force him to make a play against Tatts.

I don't. I'd have attacked tatts homeworld if you'd waited a turn. Ah well let's see how this goes. There is a minute chance I'll squeak the space combat.

Wtf why? Morgoth is already going to fuck me up ha.

I would have a 50:50 shot of taking your homeworld which is the only PO I could feasibly score.

Hey. Just had a thought. What are the chances Tatts has unveil flagship? I've thought both Blend and Morgoth had it but they both had opportunities to score it and haven't. Tatts could win by scoring 1 with Imperial and 1 by unveiling his flagship. Either that or Spark. With Morgoth forced to stop him which would put his flagship in position to be hit by Tatts plus he is the points leader all but guarantees the will score 2 action phase points.

I dont see how he doesnt win without IH forgoing retaking his homeworld by taking Tatts instead.

Well I just checked and Tatts didnt draw a new secret objective so he probably still has turn his fleets to dust. There has been some weird behavior in regards to secret objectives.

God dammit.

I thought that battle was a 50:50 with my action card.

Blends rolls yet again!

Where are these action card SOs! If there are some in the draw pile there is still hope for me, but also for other people.

My brain is hurting trying to figure out all the various routes to victory.

I can honestly say I don't have one, a plan that is. I'm not fooling myself to believe I can score what I wanted. Morgoth stole my technology rider that was going to help give me options.

As I go last in the round I can plan once I know the board positions.

Diplomacy and fleet logistics complicate things. When twelve plays diplomacy will be important.

Blend taking my homeworld also complicates.

There are SOs still out there which would allow me to win in the action phase, but I need to be able to move.

There are action cards which will stop twelve winning.

I'm going to have to put my faith in the yssaril and a lucky card draw.
