I'm updating now, but I can't get Blend's ST count to work. From what I gather Blend acts on all 4 of the secondaries, spending 4 strategic tokens. However, he only claimed 1 strategic token from Leadership, placing him at a total of 3. Am I missing something, do the Jol Nar not have to spend a token on the tech secondary?

[Tattersail_]

Wow you are right it looks like. He didn't remove the strategic token when he played the tech secondary. Then used it on the warfare secondary. I'll do a quick re-check.

[Galactic Council]

If so I am unsure how to deal with this. The game has moved quite a bit. I might suggest a redistribution of tokens, leaving him at 1 tactical action less and thus unable to claim Mehar Xull. It is not ideal, and I am willing to roll back the game to the point he meant to play on the Warfare secondary, but it depends on whether you guys think it necessary.

If nothing is affected by the fleet pool size then use on of them for the extra strategic action and it means his status phase will have 1 less token.

[Galactic Council]

It's an easy mistake to make, especially in this format. So we'll just figure out a good way to solve it and no harm will have been done to the game.

That's not an option, as there has been no opportunity this round to redistribute tokens from the fleet pool.

Yeah I think giving blend the choice to remove his space dock or not take mehar xull has the least impact on the game.

[Imperial Historian]

If blend had realised I imagine his whole turn would have changed.

[Galactic Council]

Aye, I guess the space dock is the correct call in this instance. He made an easy miscalculation, and in reality could not afford to build the space dock. Removing it does not influence the actions of the other players I suspect, and it is a more elegant solution than redistributing tokens between categories.

[Galactic Council]

I'll post the updated map and send you your action cards in a moment

[Galactic Council]

alright, all action cards should be sent, and everything is ready for the new strategy phase, starting with Tatts.

[Tattersail_]

I have to go first. If I leave Twelve that option he could take my HW and knock me out the game.

[Imperial Historian]

I intended to move my cruiser from my homeworld to starpoint, but looking back realise that this wasn't in my post. Is this okay to change?

[Tattersail_]

No way Jose! 😛

[Galactic Council]

I am afraid it's too late, IH. There have been several actions, the new PO has been revealed and action cards have been distributed too.

I don't think it would have affected anyone else moves, it's the first map update where I could have noticed the error but alright will be more carefull in the future, doesn't actually affect things all that much.

[Blend]

JeeZ, so sorry bout the messup. Taking the space dock off is definitely what I would have done in this case. So sorry about that!

[Galactic Council]

heads up twelve, Tatts played an action card in the game thread that concerns your choice of action card.

I honestly think this is wrong even though this is the easiest way to handle it as Construction was the second secondary to be played. This mistake should have cost him 3 planets. Warfare was played near the end of the round. That has a huge impact on the game.i dont think I'm going to formally object but would like to hear what D'reks take on this is.
