Yes, Repeal hasn't been played yet.

But you know that so you are sitting on a sabotage just for this eventuality or you have it and arent using it.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Geez, sorry, for some reason I thought it was Tatts' turn, give me a sec, I'll be posting another stall action.

You can't use Lucky Shot on your own ship, Blend.

Why not? It just says I destroy a ship in a system with a planet I control. I've looked online and found that it's not against the rules as far as I could find.

Dang, I dunno what I was searching the other day when I was checking this. It's very clearly in the LRR FAQ. Shit.

Nope, I've updated my turn, Twelve you may want to update yours to include Leadership secondary.

Definitely had bigger plans this round, but even if I had moved a fleet token over to tactical, I don't think I could have managed to get a ship over Twelve's homeworld that would have survived his fighters. Or, well, it would have been only a 53% success rate according to the battle calculator.

Also forgot, again, that Transit Diodes wasn't an action, just used before an action. So with that AND Lucky Shot falling through, that was 2 less stalls than I thought I had going into this round. LoL. Ah well.

Would stalling more really have changed anything though? Either way not enough CTs to go for both objectives, right?

Right, but I might have been able to stall you out long enough to either force you to make a play for my HW to stop me from scoring, thus giving me the TGs I needed for the extra token with my fingers crossed that you wouldn't have been able to actually take either of my home system planets, or just ensure that you can't make the move this round.

Now I fear you may take a shot at my Home System, though it'd be a 50/50 chance to take a planet based on what's near enough.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I've thought about throwing 2 cruisers at your homeworld juuuuuust in case, and like you said it had to be after you played Leadership so the TGs wouldn't give you more CTs. But since you didn't draw a new SO it seems relatively safe not to.

Well, back to Tatts, let's see what he does. I thought he was going to research LWD and go for my HW, using Warfare to get past the ceasefire, but evidently not.
