    One hit; Muaat removes 1 Ground Force.

    Yssaril plays Action Card "Geomagnetic Mines" at the start of battle.

    Geomagnetic Mines
    Destroy 1 enemy Mechanized Unit.
    Play: At the start of a battle in which you participate involving an enemy Mechanized Unit.

    Sabotage?

    @MrBlarney @El Skid , because I have both Automated Defense Turrets and wait...
    Does the +2 from Automated Defense Turrets only affect the Anti-Fighter Barrage?

    discrider on
  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    Tech tree states they receive +2 and roll 1 additional dice for anti-fighter barrage". Not +2 combat and roll 1 additional die in anti-fighter barrage...so thats correct.

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    Oh, and you "hit" with a 6 earlier. Didnt notice that!

    God damn it. Then I had the first round of combat wrong.
    Not to mention all these now far more impotent Destroyers.

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    Also no sabotage on that card.
    Can anyone else sabotage the Yssaril at this point so they don't get an SO?

  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    Hmm, this is true. A potential of four VP to gain and ownership of the Speaker token definitely means that this is a game-defining battle. Hmm.

    4463rwiq7r47.png
  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    We hadn't even considered the possibility of the Yssaril swooping in for the Mex Rex + 3 system 2 VP objective as well.. but that's something that can easily happen.

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    I'm definitely going for the 2 VPs, but I only wish I had an secret objective I could pull off so easily :(

    It's not an unreasonable assumption to make, I guess... I unfortunately don't know the game well enough to be able to say whether there are any SOs I will qualify for this round- maybe one of you who does know could tell us if there aren't?

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    It's more I'm worried that the Speaker token will allow you to immediately qualify for the SO next round, after building a Space Dock (or after capturing the same from me; Not sure if that's an AC or whether his GFs need to roll a 10 first).
    The SOs are above (Blarney posted the list in thread after I asked).

    At the very least, capturing Metacol Rex affords you 3 VP from the public objectives.

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    edited January 2015
    Agreed. This will let me catch up with you if I get lucky with dice.

    Soooo are you calling for a full round of sabotage calls then?

    I'm sorry this turn has been nigh endless, guys :(

    El Skid on
  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    Yeah, I'm sort of waiting on everyone else to make sabotage calls/debate sabotaging this turn, as I think it's the most logical place to do so.
    Of course, I don't have any Sabotages (nor Direct Hits) as might be obvious from the Yssaril's plays.

  • El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    @jakobagger @faintpremonition @MrBlarney @kirindal for a call for sabotages on my mighty attempt to gain victory through killing a Mech unit

  • jakobaggerjakobagger LO THY DREAD EMPIRE CHAOS IS RESTORED Registered User regular
    No sabotage.

  • KirindalKirindal Registered User regular
    No sabotage from the Nekro Virus

  • faintpremonitionfaintpremonition Registered User regular
    My order stands. I'm happy for there to be competition for first place, it opens up more possibilities than just dealing with Discrider's huge lead.

  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    Sorry for the delay. Work's been quite busy lately.

    No sabotage.

    I believe that with that, Yssaril's card goes through; 1Muaat Mechanized Unit is destroyed.

    Round 1

    Yssaril has 12 Ground Forces.
    Muaat has 3 Mechanized Units and 3 Ground Forces.

    Geth roll 12d10t8 for Yssaril
    Geth roll 6d10t6+3d10t8 for Muaat

    Yssaril:
    12d10t8 2 [12d10t8=7, 4, 5, 8, 1, 7, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4, 10]

    Muaat scores 3 hits; Yssaril removes 3 Ground Forces.
    Yssaril scores 2 hits; @discrider, how will you assign the hits?

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    Assign the hits to GFs for now.

    Yssaril victory. GG all.

  • discriderdiscrider Registered User regular
    Like, unless we have more "You can't pick this Strategy Card" ACs than the Yssaril has Sabotages, then he takes Bureaucracy and wins via Imperium Rex next round. I do not have any of these cards.

    I'm pretty sure at least one person does have one of those cards..And we get to pick new cards before the Strategy phase...

    I think calling this one over is a little premature

    E- though if you all want to submit to our kind and benevolent rule we'll accept it at this point

    How many ways can people stop the Yssaril from claiming Bureaucracy?
    I mean, you don't have to say, but I'd prefer to end this game as soon as possible, so I can start trying to forget my poor purchasing decision.
