I am away from tomorrow until next week. I will post a move tomorrow but it may not be till late because of travelling.

@IH:

Can you incentivise me to take Morgoth’s home system? This is one of about four different actions I’m considering. And I don’t mean incentivise me in a ‘for the good of the galaxy speech’ kind of way

It would be cool if you left a provisional further action or two in PMs, too, just in case we get that far through the round!

Are you sure I do great speeches?

What sort of incentive are you looking for? I have to say taking morgoths home system was not the move I expected (I can't see how you'd actually achieve it)

I believe my War Suns can get there with the boosts. Morgoth’s left a little gap to take.

Incentives like TGs to offset my inevitable losses, helpful ACs, votes, etc etc.

As I said, it’s one option I can take but it’s the riskiest so requires the most incentive. Otherwise there’s probably other things I can do.

[Tattersail_]

He'd need flank speed and in the silence of space amongst other things, and hope Morgoth does not have a sabotage. That's a big commitment, so would need a big rewards, and suffice to say Morgoth has a massive fleet, and his home world look heavily defended.

[Morgoth]

Well shit, there goes my point from twelve's sftt.

[Morgoth]

That seems a risky move to make, Khell. Why would you commit your war suns to death like that, unless you think you can knock out my dreads in one round?

Just so you are clear regular warsuns have 2 movement, only muaat warsuns have 3. You'd need silence of space or a flank speed to get there. I could send my votes your way on one agenda next agenda phase?

[Imperial Historian]

And if one of morgoths dreads survives round 1 both your warsuns die. I really don't think you can win that fight, but if you do you have my vote!

[Morgoth]

Hey IH, why all the sudden hostility? What did I do to you?

[Khellendros]

Just your votes? Pfff. Maybe I’ll invade Muaat instead for that insult

(Getting on a plane now, so gonna have some time to ruminate).

I'm not being particularly hostile and you did betray our alliance and take Rex off me, a planet we specifically agreed was mine

And I thought you were a space horror of your word.

I clearly don't have much you want, and I'm not even particularly sure you attempting to take morgoths homeworld is a good idea.

I am (sorta kinda). It was an empty threat. Alright, let’s see what’s what and then probably do a boring move boooo.

Why not just take Rex? I assumed that was the point of our negotiations, you won't attack me, I don't attack you but if morgoth takes rex whoops that's not IHs anymore.

[Khellendros]

I have been considering it, but I’ve also been thinking about what I would actually gain from that. Other than stopping Morgoth from collecting an extra VP, I’m not sure it does much for me. I don’t think I’m likely to be able to gain Imperial next round even if I do manage to keep hold of Rex.

D’rek, I took a Carrier from you as I said I wouldn’t do anything further to IH this round and Tatts has nothing left worth taking. If you want it back I’m happy to give it back.

I don't need it for now. If you've got a use for it, go ahead and hang onto it.

I would like to get my dreadnought back from your sheet, though, if that's possible.

And you would trash our friendship over such trifles? I am shocked and appalled.
