@Blend: I think the Space Dock on my player mat should not be there, considering I have 3 in play already?

Haha, that's a nice ghost ship move, Tapper. Staking your claim for later, eh?
Twelve's move is interesting. Two carriers and a bunch of infantry into Accoen/Jeol'Ir. He's got no tactical CTs left and he knows Khell is going to stall leadership, so presumably his next move (even if he has an AC to stall it) is to WARFARE off the CT from Accoen/Jeol'Ir, put the CT back into tactical, and then move that force again. And he wants Tatts to play TECH ASAP. But he doesn't have the prerequisites to get Carrier II, so the only places that force can be going is Rigel or Everra. I guess he wants to have Crimson Legionnaire II tech before the attack. Is Everra really worth that much, though? Or maybe the tech is for gravity drive, but it's not like there's any better choice of systems 2 hexes away, and he could only move the 1 carrier that way if so.

It would seem risky to bind up so much in a nebula for a 3/1 planet, but you never know.

He also gets a bonus CT and your commander ability. Which may well be worth it.

true enough, might be a possible risk that.

My bad - fixed in the game thread, and the sustained dread will be fixed in the next map update. (I've also fixed Tapper's extra space dock issue)

Well I won't be making any move tonight as I'm going to bed, early start tomorrow. I was going to do something simple but the sudden possibility of Mallice is tempting. But it's something I'll have to look at more closely in the cold light of day.
It looks like you might miss the cold light of day at this rate

Sorry, been busy all day. We're emptying out my mum's house as my sister's moving out of it at the end of the month. I'll post my move now.
D'rek, I'll sell you the fragment, I'll put it in my post but just let me know if that's not correct and I'll edit.

And of course I got another cultural relic fragment I’d be more annoyed at selling my other one, but I don’t know where I would have got a third one from.

Except, Tapper’s got Antimass I think Blend, unfortunately.

Well, as the Carrier hit I guess it makes no difference to end result except I might lose some fighters

Okay, fixed again.
Clearly I shouldn't try to resolve battles while I'm working.

Well, Tapper can't actually get any infantry to it just yet, and it's just a sole destroyer guarding Mallice for now. Good thing Tapps swapped ceasefires with IH or I guess there'd be a warsun parked in Mallice pretty much immediately.
That said, @Tapper I guess you're going to grab gravity drive so that you can actually get an infantry to Mallice this round, but that's still only enough range to put 1 dreadnought there if I'm reading the map right. Did you want me to clear the asteroid field so you can get a 2nd one there?

I will maintain a solemn, dignified silence with regard to my intentions. Whomever attacks that destroyer does so at their own peril...
Kk, I'm gonna play TRADE next then.
@Morgoth - There's still time to make a deal for a free refresh for you. But 1 use of Tekklar Legion just plain isn't worth it. How about unlimited uses of Tekklar Legion this round?
