    Yep. That certainly did not go well for the Fishfolk

    Thanks for taking care of all the rolling and admin too

    No problem! Sorry for the screwup!

  • ElvenshaeElvenshae Registered User regular
    And would you believe that I totally misread a card?

    Would’ve made things way more interesting if it worked like I thought it did.

    Question from a newbie that I hope someone is able to answer honestly without giving away too much...

    Given that I currently hold Mecatol Rex, is there anything @MrBlarney could do on his turn that would allow him to try to land ground forces again? I realize the Warfare strategy card would allow him to remove the command token and reactivate that system, but are there any Action cards that allow a similar action? Or am I guaranteed that the only way to lose Mecatol this round would be for someone else to invade, destroy MrBlarney's fleet and land troops?

    Excitement will inevitably abound. Who loses a planet next? Mojo, weakened by combat? Blarney, overextended? Preda, trying to rebuild? Or am I due for another assault from what I thought was a friendly neighbor?

    Edit: I don't know enough about the Action Card deck to give answer.

    @Elvenshae I believe there may be one copy of an action card that allows one to pull a tactical counter off the board, mirroring Warfare, but could be wrong. Other than that and Warfare itself, yes, someone else would have to fight his fleet and then land their forced against your own.

    I can't see a way. If there is an action card then I always have that sabotage on hand if the price is right

    Are there action cards that let you remove an infantry from an enemy planet? But even then, it'd remain mine until someone actually landed ground forces, correct?

    Nope. There was such a card in TI3 but it's gone now (although if it did strip your last gf from a planet you lost it)

    Thanks for the info, all. Waiting on an answer from the host about one thing, then I'll go.

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    I would say it's probably possible, but unlikely.

    There is exactly 1 copy of the Unexpected Action card that let you remove 1 CC from the map.

    ...well, then, hopefully this doesn't backfire on me.

    This is probably paranoia on my part, but I don't like those Letnev ships hanging around my border when he still has command tokens to use.

    Signal Jamming: Action- Choose 1 non-home system that contains or is adjacent to one of your ships. Place another player's command token on that system.

    Put Letnev command token on the Centauri/Gral system.


    @MrBlarney for the next action.

    The continued movements and posturing is quite interesting.

    Play Action Card "Mining Initiative", selecting Bereg and gaining 5 Trade Goods. (AC 6 --> 5, TG 0 --> 5)

    Mining Initiative
    Action: Gain trade goods equal to the resource value of 1 planet you control.

    @Mojo_Jojo has the next action.

    Play diplomacy targeting my homeworld to refresh both planets and put tokens from everybody else in it

    @Brody , @Hedgethorn froze your fleet and you should have right of reply before more people continue play

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    I don't have a reply. Nor do I have tokens for secondaries.

    Pass.

    True, true. It's an impactful enough Action Card that I should have waited for Sabotage calling. Do you think anyone will want to Sabotage my card?

    In any case, PLAY on the Diplomacy secondary, refreshing [0.0.0] and Bereg. (SP 2 --> 1)

    Play secondary. Refresh Winnu and Lodor.

  • ElvenshaeElvenshae Registered User regular
    Pass on Diplomacy secondary.

  • PredaPreda Registered User regular
    I should be next and everyone already passed. Play Uprising- Action: Exhaust 1 non-home planet owned by another player, then gain trade goods equal to its resource value. Targeting Bereg for 5TG.

    @MrBlarney for sabotage

  • HedgethornHedgethorn Associate Professor of Historical Hobby Horses In the Lions' DenRegistered User regular
    Play diplomacy secondary, refreshing Nestphar and Quann.

  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    I thought we were going to be friends, Preda! No sabotage, unless someone wants to play one on my behalf.

    We're moving along at a good clip, but maybe we should hold up a bit for a game status update before @Brody takes his action?

    4463rwiq7r47.png
  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    We've not done a whole lot since the last update. Just a fight over Sakulag/Lazar, two Action Cards, and Diplomacy.

    Frontline Deployment- Action: Place 3 infantry from your reinforcements on any planet you control. On Mekar Xull.

    Play Imperial.
    Claim one victory point for possession of Mecatol Rex.

    @Brody @MrBlarney @Elvenshae @Mojo_Jojo @Preda for Imperial secondaries, if desired.

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    Don't have the token for it, so.
