So Twelve either has to get all hits to totally wipe out D'rek's fleet at the same time, or get no hits so she doesn't use Reflective Shielding

[Galactic Council]

Yeah, I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw the rerolls. Poor Twelve.

At least he got 1 additional hit out of his rerolls!!!

Twelve, can I ask you why you attacked Vega with 2 dreads, instead of making sure for your home system? Would the flagship and 2 dreads not have been better than a carrier?

It looks bleak in that region of the map.

Carrier and 2 fighters gives better odds than a dread

I was thinking along the lines of a dread and a fighter vs the above.

Anyway it is back round to Twelve, and is passing I assume?

So status phase, and Khell to lead the way?

[Khellendros]

Skipping forward a bit, but I think worth pointing out: As far as I remember Morgoth said he would choose Tech for his strategy. Tapper talked about choosing Imperial to keep it away from IH (if we provided him with incentive) - but is IH having Imperial worse than IH having Leadership? Imagine what happened this round with Leadership stalling, but ten times worse!

This is why Tatts was supposed to take IH's homeworld and stop him from scoring this status phase. Then it wouldn't matter as much if he took Imperial. But Tatts didn't (even after we worked so hard to get him those stalls), and here we are.

I didn't have the flank speed, so even attempting to go for IH's homeworld I would have fallen short. I thought that was posturing from you to deter IH. I had the moves, I could have moved the dread and then built in my HW. Now Khell traded away his SftT, I'm less incentivized to do it.

You have Super-Dread and gravity drive, how would you have fallen short??

So glad you internalized these thoughts and gripes instead of talking about them

[Khellendros]

At what point do I have to announce I'm playing Committee Formation? I'm not saying I'll play it this round...but I may play it this round.

Anyways, Tatts, play your Diplo Pressure on IH. I'll play mine on him too and probably draw Political Secret so you'll get something actually good out of him.

Once we actually get into the agenda phase.

Yeah, wait until Agenda phase is opened and you can post it then if you want to play it.

[Khellendros]

And everyone is also aware that IH has Twelve's racial and will pseudo-diplo MR so that I can't invade it as well, yes? So hope someone has a backup plan

That wasn't a deal we made, I'm just highly recommending you do it, because Diplo Pressure cards are way more effective when multiple get played on the same player in the same phase.

Of course. Wish you and Tapper hadn't let Twelve gobble your CTs so easily...

Honestly, I forgot that was the Mahact's thing till it was about to happen...

Seems I'm public enemy number one at the moment, the perils of Mecatol, what's the timing window of diplomatic pressure?

Is when an agenda is revealed status phase? Can you trade in status phase?

Yes. Cards with "When an agenda is revealed" as their timing window should be played at the very beginning of your status phase post.

No
