    Round 6 - Invasion of Centauri

    Pre-battle: Yin conversion ability 1d10 = {1 < 5}, failed.

    Round 1: Yin Ground Force 1d10 = {6 < 8}, miss.
    Muaat Ground Forces 2d10 = {2 < 8; 9 > 8}, 1 hit. Yin removes his Ground Force.

    Combat resolves in favor of Muaat.

    Round 6 - Invasion of Gral

    Pre-battle: Yin conversion ability 1d10 = {5 = 5}, success. 1 Muaat Ground Force is replaced with a Yin Ground Force.

    Round 1: Yin Ground Forces 2d10 = {1, 5 < 8}, no hits.
    Muaat Ground Force 1d10 = {6 < 8}, miss.

    Round 2: Yin Ground Forces 2d10 = {7, 4 < 8}, no hits.
    Muaat Ground Force 1d10 = {8 = 8}, hit. Yin removes 1 Ground Force.

    Round 3: Yin Ground Force 1d10 = {7 < 8}, no hits.
    Muaat Ground Force 1d10 = {9 > 8}, hit. Yin removes 1 Ground Force.

    Apologies for the late response, but I must note that controlling a system requires the holding of all planets in that system and the presence of at least one non-Fighter allied ship. I thought that there might be a special rule for home systems, but I can't find any. In any case, Creuss and Naalu will need to re-do their orders on the secondary. L1z1x has yet to make a play on the secondary.

    Heading out the door for a couple days, I'll be able to post an update on the 26th.

    That just saved Naalu a command counter. Why use the secondary when it's your turn next and you can move them back for activating the home system?

  • Options
    SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Updated orders, keep trying to use that secondary to do something but the way it's designed there are very few situations where its actually useful.

    Maybe the Naalu would rather burn a SA vs CP, no idea really.

    Well I imagine he'd want to build ships in his home system, so he could have just moved the ships as part of that activation.

    Secondary Ability: Reinforce Spend 1 Command Counter from your Strategy Allocation area to move up to two of your ships from unactivated systems into any adjacent systems you control. This does not activate the destination systems.

    That is why. He could move his units and still build.

    On that note, and the primary, warfare II is just so much better then warfare.

    You can move units and still build with a normal tactical action. Activating a system goes move in units -> PDS -> combat ->build

    Congratulations, Iron Weasel! That's a very, very good reason to spend time offline.

    Also, holy crap has it been a long time since I last updated this game. Creuss is up for their turn, but I'll try to get a game state update uploaded sometime tonight in either case.
