I shall be away celebrating my birthday with my friend and family from tomorrow until Sunday, so next update will only take place on Monday at earliest! Given the current pace of the game, I don't expect that to be much of a problem!

A 6-day-long birthday celebration?? Or a 1-day party with a 5-day hangover?

[Khellendros]

Sooo, how does everybody feel about me activating my Hero? This is like the one chance to capture one of IH’s War Suns…but there may (or may not!) be some collateral damage.

[Imperial Historian]

I feel bad about this

If you do, I hope you have more than one sabotage. I have 2 harmful action cards that I don't intend to use on you. I think your Hero would affect me the most. Even if it is a gamble.

I have 5 Sabotages.

The thing about you is that you have ships near two of my attachment planets. Do you fancy moving them far away?

First turn I am moving majority of ships home, near home, then more to follow. I'm vacating Hacan air space

[Tattersail_]

How about you activate your Hero on the 3rd turn, I'll have moved my ships away and it forces IH to move his ships early too.

I figured you were going to go for that, which is why I dived onto getting my flagship SO immediately in case it gets captured.

It's a good idea IMO. If you wait, IH is just going to move the war sun away safely.

Activating it on a turn when there's going to be no ships around seems even more pointless...and the ability is almost pointless to begin with! It's more a stall move than anything else, though I'm not actually sure I want to stall right now either. IF I did use it, I can always trade any ships you lose back to you on your turn or my next turn.

I could live with that. How does the trade work?

What would be the trade?

[Imperial Historian]

I'm being shunned again

I need that warsun to potentially stop the only player who can win this round!

Admittedly unlikely, but possible.

I don't think that's even possible. Not enough CTs to set himself up for both 2VP objectives (or a 2VP + 1VP objectives + MR + both SOs).

I mean, there’s a 70% chance that your War Sun will be fine. But I do like your goal of warring with Morgoth (I assume that’s who we’re talking about)

Same as any trade. I can give captured units back at any point if I want to. So I’d just give them back to you rather than keeping/using them.

Define "some" and "collateral." If it results in zero losses for me and the potential return of that dread you still have, all fine with me.

I don't think you're affected at all. It's IH, Tatts, and D'rek who are in the vicinity.

It is unlikely but technically possible for him to score 2 X 2vp, rex and an so. He'd only need 6 CTS to achieve this, so unless you are stalling him out he could do it.

70 percent chance is less than I like. Be warned it may result in reciprocal heroing if I don't have my warsun deterrent.

I don't intend to war with morgoth, but that warsun is my main deterrent for discouraging any attempt at rex and the imperial point.

7 CTs since he'd need 1 to get another attachment planet, too. And there are not realistically 5 border systems he can take... he doesn't have enough ships in range.
