Wait I'm assuming morgoth did have a flank speed which he forgot to play? Otherwise he can't reach torkan?

[Morgoth]

It doesn't come naturally to me either, but this game I was in several battles! It felt weird and thrilling.

Also, thank you D'rek for running this, and running it so smoothly

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah thanks D'rek!

I can get to Torkan in three moves, which is all I need.

But I also have two flank speed.

Yes. He has 2 flank speeds, in fact. I might've deleted that bit accidentally when I edited the ground combat in.

Lol, no you can't.

[D'rek]

Oh wait, yeah he can, through the beta WH...

[Morgoth]

I wanted to be sure I could reach Torkan in 3, in case IH drew the last sabotage after the deck got shuffled. But then I drew another flank speed this status phase so it didn't really matter in the end.

I'm very proud of all of you for playing a great game, all being close to winning by the end, and most of all keeping the pace of play up consistently! We finished the whole game in only two months! What a difference!

[Imperial Historian]

No the nebula law has been cancelled, so he needs flank speed! But it doesn't matter at this point.

Great game guys, this has been by far our closest yet.

I'm sure blend and twelve are going to tell us how they would have won soon.

Beta WH, not alpha

[Imperial Historian]

Oh yeah!

What the fuck is going on? How can Morgoth even reach Torkan?

It's a passive bonus I got from winning game 2.

Ah shit! I fucked up. I didnt even realize the connection of the two wormholes right next to each other

I would have gotten there anyway with Flank Speed. There's actually no system I cannot reach with the flagship in Lodor.

[Morgoth]

This was a really fun. I am happy and rather surprised I managed to squeeze in a win there, tatts was in the better position for sure! Can't wait to a new game with all the expansion content!

[twelve]

Yeah I knew I fucked up when I moved to Berg/Lirtz IV. I played passive and was playing for a status phase win. I had Spark and should have tried to hope to hold Torkan until I had a shot at IH or if Tatts played Imperial for only one point so I could get the win. I was sooo command token and resource starved all game. I'm shocked I had a shot at all.

[twelve]

Actually I messed up on two fronts as I also didn't realize that the Ysarill is the only flagship that has 2 for movement speed. GAH!!!!! I messed up so bad.I played Lost star charts just so he couldn't steal it and reach Torkan. STUPID!! STUPID! STUPID!!!

Yeah. Maybe one of these days I'll actually play a race that doesn't suck balls and can score a win. Though I have to give you guys credit. Both times when I had Imperial you stopped me from scoring 3 points total. I totally would have won otherwise.

Good game all and many thanks to D'rek for running this.
