    So Creuss, you're declining to exert your Minister of Peace ability at this time, right? I'll resolve the combat once I get home tonight.

    Ack. This is what I meant by a double edged sword. I have to build more ships in Rarron but I'd have to spend a turn flipping the values first and it would be too late then. You guys are lucky these 1,1 trade treaties are keeping the Yin from overpowering the galaxy.

    Bah. I have to punt.

    Activate Rarron. Exhaust all planets but Rarron (5R) to build 2 cruisers and 1 destroyer.

    I think the I<-->R value swap on Rarron is a mistake. I haven't done that this turn yet.

    Oh geez I didn't realize Jol-nar couldn't try moving in again this turn. duurrrrrr

    Ah, right. The text was correct but I didn't update the maps for this round for the swap. I'll do that when I get home tonight.

    L1z1x, if you're playing an Action Card as an action, you can just go ahead with it: no need to use the "declare, then play" procedure in this case.

    L1z1x plays Action Card "Target Their Flagship", using their Dreadnought to target a Naalu Cruiser.

    Target Their Flagship!
    Choose one of your ships and target one opposing ship. Roll 1 die. If the roll is equal to or greater than your ship's combat value, the target ship is immediately hit (and does not receive return fire). Your ship does not roll during the first round of combat.
    Play: Immediately before a Space Battle.

    Sabotage plays?

    (No, I hadn't forgotten about the card play, I thought that it was to be done after Anti-Fighter Barrage and Assault Cannons. FAQ says I should have done the Action Card first. Doesn't make a difference in this case, fortunately.)
