    We can't not shoot and can I even pick up on a retreat like that?

    This seems like we'd both lose ships for very limited gain

    Why can’t we not shoot?

    And I don’t see anything that says you can’t pick up a troop like that.

    You can pick up troops up to your capacity as you enter systems that have them, and you have to pick them up before you retreat if you want to take them with you (e.g., if I had troops on Sakulag to evacuate, I’d need to pick them up and have them in space - up to capacity - before my ships left).

    And if you wanted to invade Sakulag with that troop, you’d need to pick it up as part of your tactical move, which means it would be in space at the end of your movement, with your ships.

    Huh. Looks like you "must" go to space combat, and must roll all available dice - this is different from PDS fire, which specifically says "may."

    Hrm.

    @Mojo_Jojo

    So, we can't trade ceasefires, since we've already handed ours out. I'm willing to help you with your plant problem, as stated. So how about a gentleman's agreement that you'll not further reinforce the Lazar / Sakulag system, I'll clean out the remaining infantry there at a later date and, once I do, I'll pay a blood price for it if it fails to regenerate. The planet itself is, let's face it, marginal, and provides almost no direct benefit to you - but I'll toss in a trade good when I take it to soften the blow.

    You may then feel free to focus on other things without worrying about me stabbing you in the back - as any might note, I have kept all of my agreements.

  • Mojo_JojoMojo_Jojo We are only now beginning to understand the full power and ramifications of sexual intercourse Registered User regular
    @Elvenshae Sure. That seems reasonable

    Oh, right :p

    Saw a copy of TI4 at a local store. They wanted $150 and it had a sticker on it saying it comes with a hardcover rule book.

    And they JUST came out with a 4th edition module for Tabletop Simulator. That would have been an incredible time saver 5 months ago :(

    I've still not seen a copy in the flesh but the going rate seems to be ~£150. It's a healthy price point that prevents me impulse upgrading.
