    I activate the primary ability of the (6) Warfare II Strategy Card, placing the High Alert token in the Lirta IV system.

    Others to play on the 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.

    L1Z1X passes on the secondary.

    Creuss, what would it take for you not to attack our home system?

    Your 1 TG before I take an action would go a long way. Spending an action to drop a GF on Faunus or Vega and I'll forget your homeworld even existed.

    PSN SeGaTai
  • FidohFidoh BelgiumRegistered User regular
    Sadly, we don't have any TG right now. We can give you 2TG when Trade is played and spend our first action to move a ground force to Faunus.

  • Iron WeaselIron Weasel Dillon! You son of a bitch!Registered User regular
    So, you want a TG and you want us to spend one of our actions dropping a GF someplace, is that right?

    Assuming we agreed, what could we expect you to do with your first turn?

    The map and status update show you as having 1 TG, if that's an error I'll reevaluate.

    PSN SeGaTai
  • FidohFidoh BelgiumRegistered User regular
    My bad, wasn't looking in the right place.

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    So yes, the TG now, drop a GF somewhere accessible and poorly guarded, and the servers on your homeworld will remain functional. Not attacking you my options are to probably hit up Muaat. Though by myself there is no option that knocks them down to the 8 resources they need so somewhat pointless. Jol-nar appears to be in full turtle mode so thats not helping. Playing assembly early keeps anyone else from benefiting from the secondary, also a good option.

    Alright, if Iron Weasel agrees, I say we give you that trade good.

  • Iron WeaselIron Weasel Dillon! You son of a bitch!Registered User regular
    I don’t see what good a single TG will do us now, so why not.

    Transfer 1 TG to Creuss

    What does 8 resources give Muaat?

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Well far be it from me to tell Muaat how to win if they haven't figured it out. But the tech strategy gives you 1 free tech and you can claim a 2nd for 8 resources. They have 7VP, there's an objective that gives you 2VP for having 5 techs of the same color. Guess how many techs Muaat needs to get 5 of the same color.

    If any beginnerish people are interested, there's a beginner(ish) game being started here that I just signed up for. Using the BGG house rules that should be interesting to give a shot.

    My fighters were killed by the destroyer anti fighter barrage?

    I mean I assumed they would be but just wondering.

    This battle is way too close... all up to the dice now...

    Oh, whoops. Missed that you had Fighters at the Space Dock. Anti-Fighter barrage landed no hits, and results have been updated.

    Lose cruiser and carrier, press the attack

    PSN SeGaTai
  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    Accidentally gave SeGaTai a misclarification in PMs, so his actions have been appended to destroy both Cruisers, then prior to Round 3 of combat play Action Card "Skilled Retreat" with intent to move to Capha.

    Skilled Retreat
    Choose one of your fleets that is participating in a Space Battle. Place a Command Counter from your reinforcements in a friendly or empty unactivated system adjacent to that fleet. Move the chosen fleet into that system.
    Play: Before any round of a Space Battle.

    Anyone wish to play a Sabotage?

    Alrighty. Creuss' card passes and his Carrier and Mechanized Unit retreat to the Capha system. It is now Jol-Nar's turn to act.

    All this time your delicious tuna snacks truly contained Hylar! :shock:

    Jol-Nar activates Rarron/Qu'cenn moving in our flagship, the carrier in Arinam/Meer (2GFs, mech), and the carrier in Jol (1 fighter, 2 mech). Our children shall be avenged!

    Point of order, my gaseous fellow. The Yin quite clearly have an outpost on Thibah.
