Yes, I am aware of that rule, but we’ve always gone on to post our final status updates anyway as far as I remember

Actually, that's not true in cases where the win took place in the Action Phase and Drek made it clear last game she modded that as soon as a win is attained, the game ends. Period. So no backend scoring.

Indeed.

You can post your would-be-status-phase-post in the chat thread if you want, but it won't count for your score.

[Khellendros]

Oh it won’t ‘count’ count. But I’ll count it

Sooo Mirage it is then? I'm willing to suicide my Flagship, dreads fighters and a few destroyers to soften up Amor/Lor if someone can come in behind me. If no one speaks up about being willing to do a follow up attack on Arnor/Lor then I'll post my attack on Mirage in the morning. I'm wiped. Too much sun. My forehead looks like a lopster.

[Blend]

I certainly can't get enough to Arnor/Lor to make a difference, particularly with all the PDS IH has in range.

[Imperial Historian]

Why are you attacking mirage, I'd have much preferred you to attack Arnor Lor, it would have been a much better fight!

[Blend]

Khell, reminder that if you can move that destroyer out of the asteroid belt wormhole, it'd be appreciated on my side of things!

Donezo. Lots of special abilities in a Winnu vs Argent battle over a legendary planet, but I think I caught them all?

Glad I brought the Mech. I didn't realize the antifighter took out infantry too. And not that it will likely matter but I wanted to use emergency repairs after anti-fighter barrage but before the first round of space combat. It didn't make sense to repair them only to have the antifighter barrage damage them again when they wouldn't be destroyed by the excess hits.

[twelve]

Isn't the anti-fighter barrage a step before the actual space combat?

Yes, it's part of space combat whereas the Space Cannon Offense is part of the Movement step, so everything in your post is in the correct order. I definitely would have used your Emergency Repairs only after the Anti-Fighter Barrage, you'd have 2 ships undamaged that way if you had.

When I told D'rek to use it at the start of space combat that is what I thought I was telling her. I always get the order of the PDS and Anti-fighter steps mixed up.

I see where the confusion comes from. AFB is the first step of Space Combat, so if you said to use Emergency Repairs at the start of Space Combat, that would indicate BEFORE AFB.

[twelve]

Well Folks. I took 2 influence off of IH. We need to take 3 more possibly 6 to prevent yet another IH victory. Or, whoever has the action card to remove a tactical action now is the time to use it to force IH to pop Imperial before he has the Command tokens to win.

Sure it'd be more useful at that time, but it can't be played at that time, it's not a valid timing window for that effect.

That's why I keep telling you guys to use the whole Tactical Action bit-by-bit or type stuff up with the manual beside you.

It's all laid out in an easy-to-follow sequence of steps and sub-steps (and sub-sub-sub-steps) so you don't have to remember the timing windows perfectly.

Ah yeah, timing on the Emergency Repairs card is At the start or end of a combat round. So Twelve would have either had to use it before AFB or after the first round of combat. In that case, without knowledge of how AFB or space combat would go, he'd likely have done it before AFB regardless. Makes sense to me!

Yep I think so.

You mention I destroyed a mech when twelve bombarded mirage... It's news to me I had a mech there!

Whoopsie. Fixed. Orange and red are hard to tell apart sometimes

Wouldn't playing Politics be better? That way you can for certain gain 2 action cards, and before your turn, and you don't waste a tactical action on moving to the wormhole?

Yes, that would definitely be helpful too! I'm pretty confident the only card left in the Frontier deck at the moment is a Draw 2 action cards card (not 100%, but like 95%), but Politics would be better all around, as I do plan to spend a ST on it. Depending on what I draw, I may still ask you to clear that space if possible. But we'll see.
