Yep, that’s fine.

Your Hero is interesting. Must be hard to decide when and how to use it as there are so many potential combinations. And some pot luck as well with the Relic.

Aye. Unfortunately I had to use him more as an attempt to find a path, rather than as a tool to lead me to the place I already wanted to go, if that makes sense.

I don't relish being point leader. I know you thrive at it IH but there's not a lot one can do when everyone conspires against you. Look at how strong Khell was.

Everyone would need to reveal their SOS to narrow it down

Also there may have been less tactical tokens if people didn't use strategy counters straight away.

I just meant if you wanted to narrow what SO I had then a mass reveal would help

I'll have a token but I still need Morgoth to play Imperial first. I'm just glad he waited to play Imperial until after you played Leadership. But chances are I wont be able to do anything to prepare to score it.

Aye, but I need as many SOs as possible to find one or two I can use, and I couldn't use the agent on Imperial if I had already used the strategy card.

Hah, I won’t be bullying anyone this round. The Light/Wave is more a holdover of dashed plans from last round - I have no idea what I would realistically use it for right now. Certainly any plans of bullying you ended once you took Minister of War.

It's all very exciting, by my reckoning the only way to definitely prevent tatts winning this round is for him to lose one of lodor/cealdri/xanhact, or he loses thibah and someone plays an action card which removes a structure.

I don't see many ways to achieve that even if my warsun moved to lodor, odds of me winning the ground combat are slim, and as I'd be losing my sftt that's not something I'd do for free.

I do see a way for blend to do that but would require a combo move with me and seems unlikely to occur.
