Whoa Tapper moved to Finland???!!!

I didn't want to say this in case I was the only one who didn't know and then looked like I was out of the loop on all the goings-on in Tapper's life.

[Morgoth]

Just use a keylogger like I do.

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.

Yes, I don't need it (he says, optimistically). Just put it in as a trade on your next post.

Any chance I could see mine returned?

Hmm, if you play Tech next, I will return it.

That could work for me.

Can we all see Khell's planning in advance? Blocking Tapper from reinforcing his homeworld by giving him back one ships, only to go and take his homeworld on the next turn.

Interesting, guess we know what SO khell has now!

Tapper if I moved my warsun to take one of your attachment planets could I persuade you not to play your ceasefire? I can see morgoth and tatts eagerly eyeing them up and you are going to struggle to defend them both now.

I don't think giving you a third attachment planet would be a good idea as of the amount of points you are on.

I agree but Tapper has no reason to listen to you one way or another, Tatts, so the question is what are you going to do about it? If IH's war sun fleet moves to Ang are you gonna attack it? If he waits to move it are you going to move into the alpha asteroid field and blank space to block it and/or help me to stall Leadership so IH has to pass earlier?

Is it IH's turn now? Maybe discuss after he makes his move?

Well, now he has moved. Looks like he is securing the alpha wormhole space in anticipation of either attacking Ang or Mecatol Rex (well, there is one 3rd option that seems unlikely but I secretly hope is the real answer). Your dreadnought from Mehar Xull + the cruisers from Atlas + dread from 0.0.0 could defeat IH's force in the alpha wormhole pretty easily, though.

I'm not going to be able to stall Leadership quite as long as originally intended, since I had to use up both an as-an-action card and a tactical last turn after your threats. Probably 50/50 right now whether I can successfully stall out IH/Morgoth unless someone is willing to feed me another as-an-action card.

[Imperial Historian]

I'm unlikely to be able to score as tapper has my ceasefire and enough firepower to protect his planets, I just want to make it hard for everyone else to snaffle a third attachment planet.

[Imperial Historian]

Are there any flank speeds left in the game, Tatts has played one and claimed to have another. Trying to remember if anyone else has played one.

D'rek do you happen to have one for sale?

[Morgoth]

Well you are no fun IH

Khell it looks like Rarron is the only attachment planet I can reach this round now thanks to that move by IH.

Attacking him will lose my the SftT which I'm reluctant to do. I think I'll be moving to Rarron with this cruisers. Just thinking if 2 mechs plus another infantry would be enough to hold it for this round.

If I do, and if I didn't already have it earmarked for something I want to do, I'd only sell it if it were going to be used for something like Supernova'ing Primor or New Albion/Starpoint.

Occupying the borders after he's already been invaded for "protection". Classic.

[D'rek]

Hmm, if IH now goes ahead and takes Ang for the 2VP PO, I'm not sure Tapper can win that fight with the unactivated ships he has left... and even if he can, why take the losses instead of saving them for reclaiming the homeworld.

Since Tatts has decided to attack Khell, that leaves pretty much only Morgoth who has any unactivated ships in any sort of position to try and block IH from scoring that PO... but also means if Morgoth succeeds in taking Ang (or another attachment planet of IH's) Morgoth scores that PO instead.

But Tatts you still think letting one or the other of them score that PO and doing nothing about it will somehow lead to you catching up in points, huh? Well, nothing I can do about any of it, all my ships are locked down, and I'm not in the running for the win at this point anyways so hardly motivated.


@Morgoth: anything I can offer you to use JR-XS455-0 ? Your choice of Leadership timing can be part of the deal. Strategy card choice for next round is a possibility too - I could get Quantum Datahub Node with the Tech Rider, pick the SC you want, and then use QDN to swap with you.

[Khellendros]

@Tatts: I have Parley so I really wouldn’t bother with that. All that will happen is that your ships and mechs will be stuck there and then blown up.

I’m telling you this so that you use your fleet more profitably, maybe in cutting down the leaders’ chances of gaining more VPs

Tapper has my ceasefire and I have one CT left, I don't know how I'm supposed to take ang if you are stalling me out of leadership.
