I don't know how you expected to have enough to take his HW given all the ships in your home system are locked down, and all the ones not in your home system are cruisers.

You'd have to get through a fuckload of ships just to take Quann, you wouldn't even make it past that step.

My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

Blend, it will not score me a point to attack Twelve's homeworld, could I move through your ships to do that? It will leave IH to Khell and yourself if possible.


No, the deal is Aether abilities are free to anyone doing something to stop IH.

I won't attack IH just to give you the victory, I'd rather Twelve takes it. You need to lose a VP for me to help with extending the game.

This is a game making decision, so I am taking my time with it. There is pro's and cons to each move.

What SO's PO's can Khell score? I don't think he can score an SO so is there 2 VP he can score?

I also don't think IH can score 2 1 VP PO's but I'll lose my chance at a victory. I cannot score in action phase if I do this move.

Khell can score a PO (have 8 production in one system) and an SO (have 3 space docks) currently. He could also potentially score the have 3 ships in edge of the board systems.

I can also potentially score both those PO's and I have SO's in hand.

I was looking at the 6 CT PO and seeing whether I can afford to attack you and still score that. It is a possibility.

I am trying to see whether I will succeed in taking a planet off of you and keeping the 6 CT's.

I mean it's possible, but then you are relying on me to take twelve's homeworld to allow you to win, and why would I do that after you have betrayed our alliance?

Because you want to still win which by stopping me you still have a chance to do. Stop this line if manipulation immediately good sir.

But if Tatts and Khell have a guaranteed win condition, which they would, seriously why would I? This isn't manipulation, if I don't see a way to win myself I'm not going to steal the win from you.

If there was some doubt, yes I would totally try and eliminate you, Morgoth possibly winning with 2VP and an SO is probable but not certain, but both Khell and Tatts have clear ways to win which can't be stopped so I'd just be kingmaking between you and them.

And there is doubt, so long as Tatts stops you without being able to hold on to 6CTs. My VP possibilites can also be stopped this round.

Yeah but tatts isn't going to stop me unless he can hang on to 6 CTs :p and I don't think your VP possibilities can be stopped if you play smart. All you need to do is move your space dock into the asteroid field. Guaranteed 2vp. And if you don't do that I'm not sure anyone has the ships to reach bakal and defeat you.

One bad AC stops me quite easily. In any case, maybe let’s focus on the first favourite to win rather than the fourth or fifth :p

Yes there is a single action card that could stop you, which it is unlikely anyone has as they would have used it last round to stop me.

I could not find a way into which I could honestly attack IH. 😫

Truth be told he's held up to his side of the alliance all game. I'm not breaking that relationship.

If I could have done it and won I world have like with Khell earlier on.
