Hey, Iron Weasel, I kinda got shafted too, and now we're both boxed in together. So we can either fight it out over a relatively small area (and still face possible invasion) or else team up to expand outward without worrying about fighting on two fronts.
What do you think?
HMMMM we're at an impasse here. The only system Weasel hasn't played is a pretty decent planet. Simply placing that at 3,1 instead of Rarron seems simple, but I'm assuming he meant to dump a weak planet there next to an enemy and not a decent one.
On the other hand, if we go back and redo all those moves, then it's not entirely fair to everyone else who now knows what planets everyone has and their general placement strategies.
Yea not sure what a good solution is, it's not like Stever has a great position so don't see it being terrible playing the available card there. Dont' really think we can roleback the placements.
By the time he got to 3,1 he only had two cards left, Ion Storm and his last planet. Since he couldn't place the ion storm there because of the asteroid field he was forced to play the last planet card (he simply named the wrong one). So just stick the correct planet in that slot because nothing else would have changed and he never really had a choice in the first place.
Map tip for new people: The numbers next to your reserve units are the max available. You cannot have on the board more units than there are models (exception: ground forces and fighters).
Warsuns: huge circle
Dreadnaut: star destroyers shaped ship
Cruiser: battlestar galactica shaped ship
Destroyer: tiny triangle
Carrier: Princess Leia's ship from A New Hope
Fighter: tinier triangle with huge guns on side
PDS: 'W' shape with 2 prongs at bottom
Space Dock: Deep space 9 shaped thingy
Ground force: flag

Yeah, I failed to keep track of my systems and that's the solution I would have suggested anyway.

Looking back, I probably should have tried to swap the Rigel system for Corneeq/Resculon. Oh well.
As an aside for newer players, my mistake is fairly huge; 3 resources is quite significant. I'm not saying everyone needs to dog pile the snake people, but everyone is going to have to work harder as a result of my oversight. Sorry about that!

So what you're saying is that you came up with a sneaky way to get us to do your dirty work? Nice try, nice try.
The prides feel it is important to honour our word. We shall strive to maintain peaceful, profitable relations with the slithering ones.

That's one way of looking at it, sure.
Oh, and Auralynx: we don't need orders just yet. We have to choose Strategy Cards first,which determine order of play.
Pro Tip: Naalu always go first.

"Orders," in this case being fighter / GF distribution. Load two of each on the Warsun if you didn't, I can't tell and think it can carry both. Just the fighters if not.
I'll take Production.
You don't have to "pre-load" fighters and ground forces. When ships move, they can freely pick up any passengers along the way (both in the starting system and in systems you move through). The restriction is that you can only unload them in the activated system final destination.
In other words there's really no reason to not keep them on planets if you can.
Another new player tip: keep in mind that the Production card's primary and secondary abilities are one of the only ways to produce units in a system without activating it in addition to producing units in a system that has already been activated by you. Also once a system is activated you cannot move your units out of it, so be careful first turn to move any units out of your home system before you activated it to buy stuff. Also keep in mind the starting 3 fleet supply limit: cannot have more than 3 non-fighter ships in a system until you put more command counters in fleet supply. Careful you're not already at max when you go to buy.
Speaker and strategy card picking order is also different from action order. Strategy cards are picked speaker first then going clockwise, action rounds go in highest initiative order of the strategy cards people have (Naalu always having initiative zero). If speaker position does not change via the Assembly strategy card, then it remains the same for next turn.
Game ends when someone gets at least 9 VP, or the Imperium Rex card comes up, which is mixed in randomly in the Stage II public objectives. So the game could suddenly end any time a new objective is drawn from the 7th on.

Ok, no space docks in -2,-2; -1,-1; or -1,-2; it'll be our DMZ.
Geth roll 1d6
Your right...I did didn't I.
Hmmm...this might mess up all the placements that came after. We'll see what Weasel wants to do.
On the other hand, if we go back and redo all those moves, then it's not entirely fair to everyone else who now knows what planets everyone has and their general placement strategies.
Group consensus? Compromise?
Resculon 2(R) 0(I), Coorneeo (red tech) 1(R) 2(I)
With the disclaimer that an important part of the game is keeping the people with a map/race/economy advantage in check.
GAME START!!
@Auralynx (Muaat) is speaker and chooses a strategy card first. Play then proceeds clockwise from the speaker's position (player mat) on the map.
Happy coexisting!
P.S. Last chance to change your ground forces and space dock deployments if you want a different one from the starting setup I did.
