    I think I'm going to have to confer with my new allies about strategy before I do anything here, sorry for even more delay

    Let's move the False Wall West troops to go join the troops in False Wall South

    You can only move troops with a worm that appears in an area where you have tokens. In this case you just get to make the worm appear where you like, devouring any tokens and spice that are there, as long as it's a sand territory.

    Good choice!

    Blow 2, Card 2 -> Shai-Hulud! Fremen get this one too, but there's not really any effective way to use it.
    Blow 2, Card 3 -> Habbanya Ridge Flat (10).

    I will update the map and send out updated sHtuff to include Traitors in your employ. After that..

    Bidding Round
    CHOAM Charity is automatic for Bene Gesserit (+2 Spice).
    Everyone is available to bid, so there will be 6 Treachery to go through.

    Hold on. Mod error detected.

    The Emperor holds 4 Treachery cards and is excluded from bidding this round. As a result, there are only 5 cards to be bid on this round and bidding opened with Harkonnen at 1.

    With that in mind, does anyone wish to change their bid?

    *reading the rules*...Ah, so one can't bid for cards if he already holds 4?

    Then my bid should be invalid as well.

    OK, but remember that it also means Harkonnen gets a second one that Atreides doesn't know. :)

    The Baron pays 1 spice to the Emperor and gets 2 cards.

    Sending the second card identity to Muad'dib, and the Fremen begin the bidding.
