    Wrong thread MrB, was impressed with you keeping this going while running Phalla

    Sorry about the mistake there, got my threads mixed up. Currently on a laptop right now, so it's not my usual environment.

    OK, taking a quick look at things, it appears as though stever777 initially made one decision on Trade II and then subsequently reversed it? I'll allow it, but stever777 needs to verify whether or not he will do anything with his open Trade Contract (i.e. offer to renew his trade with the L1z1x) or if he will close his action.

    In the interest of fair disclosure and the declare-reveal method for Action Card plays in case of simultaneous play, I should reveal that Creuss also declared privately the play of a duplicate "Communications Breakdown" Action Card. Since it can no longer be played due to the L1z1x card, it returns to the Creuss hand.

    Round 5: Battle at Lodor

    Pre-Combat: L1z1x Assault Cannons 3d10 = {2 < 5; 9, 8 > 5}, 2 hits. Creuss destroys 2 Fighters.

    L1z1x has 3 Dreadnoughts.
    Creuss has 1 Cruiser, 3 Destroyers, 1 Carrier, and 3 Fighters.

    Round 1: L1z1x Dreadnoughts 3#1d10+1 = {7, 8, 5 >= 5}, 3 hits. Creuss destroys 3 Fighters.
    Creuss Cruiser 1d10+1 = {2 < 7}, Destroyers 3#1d10+1 = {4, 8 < 9; 11 > 9}, Fighters 3d10 = {8, 8 < 9; 9 = 9}, Carrier 1d10 = {10 > 9}, 3 hits. All three of the L1z1x Dreadnoughts are damaged.

    Pausing for retreat/sustain calls.

    Err, the card returns to the Creuss hand I think, MrBlarney.

    I mean, we'll take it, but...

  • Iron WeaselIron Weasel Dillon! You son of a bitch!Registered User regular
    I did jump the gun on playing our AC, but as we have the higher Initiative, our card would have been revealed and played first anyway. Sorry about that.

    Anyway, things can only improve from here on, right?

    keep up the fight-got pretty good odds to take out some dreadnoughts.

    I did laugh when I saw your action card play, thought for a bit that MrB just wrote down the wrong race name, guess I'll just be holding on to that one

    Whoops, my previous post has been corrected to state "Creuss" instead of "Jol-Nar". Moving on with combat:

    Round 5: Battle at Lodor

    Round 2: L1z1x Dreadnoughts 3#1d10+1 = {6, 11, 10 > 5}, 3 hits. Creuss destroys 1 Carrier and 2 Destroyers.
    Creuss Cruiser 1d10+1 = {5 < 7}, Destroyers 3#1d10+1 = {2 < 9; 10, 11 > 9}, Carrier 1d10 = {1 < 9}, 2 hits. L1z1x destroys 2 Dreadnoughts, losing 1 Ground Force as collateral damage.

    Round 3: L1z1x Dreadnought 1d10+1 = {5 = 5}, 1 hit. Creuss destroys 1 Destroyer.
    Creuss Cruiser 1d10+1 = {8 > 7}, Destroyer 1d10 = {3 < 9}, 1 hit. L1x1x destroys 1 Dreadnought, losing 1 Ground Force as collateral damage.

    Combat resolves in favor of Creuss.

    It is now Jol-Nar's turn to act.

    Yeah, I don't think that it'll come as a huge surprise to anyone that Jol Nar PLAYS on the primary ability a) of the Diplomacy Strategy card.

    I activate the primary ability of the (2) Diplomacy II Strategy Card, choosing option a) and targeting the Jol-Nar system.


    The Secondary ability of the Strategy Card is now available for play.

  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    Tar'mann is still up for grabs. Creuss has first option for annexation, and if SeGaTai declines, Muaat will have their opportunity.

    4463rwiq7r47.png
  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    we continue to not include Tar'mann in our master plans and offer it to the Muaat in our continued efforts to keep troops(what we have remaining) away from our shared border.

    Creuss passes on secondary
