L1z1x will be at 8 Action Cards and must immediately discard one when making their Command Counter allocations.
Creuss has conditional orders to place one command counter into Strategy Allocation and one into Command Pool (SA 0--> 1, CP 1 --> 2)
Creuss also elects to use the Refresh ability of Mirage, exhausting it to gain 2 Fighters in the Mirage system.
EDIT:
We'll be playing to the 9 VP under the standard Shattered Empire strategy card recommendations.
We discard Overrun. I'm phone posting, but it's the one that lets you insta-kill a GF when attacking mech units.

Try again, my collegiate friend.
The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1
So, I'm just looking to improve my position, not take down anyone else.
I've been so out of this game for so long anyways.
Sorry.
The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1
I've been reading a lot of people saying the swap ability is great because it's a free delay, but it's also a mandatory delay. Having to spend an extra action before I can build ships has hurt me a lot more often than the delay has helped.
I don't blame Naalu for denying his hostile neighbor the Warfare card in what's probably the last turn.
The Muaat scourge on trading has reached an all time high. Unless someone moves to eradicate the threat they pose, they just might find their trade deals vanish this turn.
Gee mind-snakes, we thought you guys were our friends. Where's the cold-blooded camaraderie?
Is there any chance of anyone sabotaging that AC? (I'm guessing no ...)
Edit: In case it needs to be spelled out, no sabo on our part.
