Invade Resculon with 1 infantry and 1 dread bombard. Invade Corneeq with 1 infantry and 1 dread bombard.
Play Disable
At the start of an invasion in a system that contains 1 or more of your opponents' PDS units: Your opponents' PDS units lose Planetary Shield and Space Cannon during this invasion.
Answer: It's one invasion step.
Nowhere else does it use the word invasion during the invasion step, so it looks like the AC works on both planets.
(If that matters, I didn't check PDS placement)
KetarCome on upstairswe're having a partyRegistered Userregular
I believe it would be considered one, looking at the Invasion rules right now. Technically the bombard comes first and then you decide how to distribute infantry, so let's revise that:
Play Disable. Bombard each planet with 1 dreadnought. Will make infantry assignment upon reviewing results.

Letnev is the 3rd worst race in the game according to the accumulated stats at bgg.
That sounds like a funny list, they seem firmly middle of the table to me
Yin, Sardakk Norr and Winnu should be vying for those bottom positions
Sardakk Norr IS the bottom position right now! Although I think there's something off with the list that Winnu are in the middle and Yin are near the top. There's this tiresome fool on BGG called Jharda or something who's made his life's mission to be a roleplaying performance artist comedy act pretending that the Yin are the best ever (he apparently spams the Space Cats email with Yin crap every week). I suspect their high position is just him padding the stats with fake submissions.
I've never seen Letnev do that well. They can eventually assemble a very scary end game fleet, but seem to fall short of actually scoring victory points. The game is mostly over before they can exploit their shielding racial tech with duranium armor combo.
Their home system is all they have, and that loses effectiveness as the game goes on where everyone is trading and they're stuck with 2 commodities.
I think it's Naalu who are scarier if they can get over the starting hump. Fighters that hit like cruisers and neuroglaive are no joke.
That list is madness. Although I'm not sure how they've generated the %, is it effectively just a measure of total victories?
I think there's like 4 different measurements for it. One of them is adjusted for player count i think.
The Yin one is immediately telling because they have by far the smallest sample size.
Aside from the Yin and Winnu though, the list looks mostly accurate to me. You really start realizing how crazy all the bonuses Sol gets are with zero weaknesses.
Yeah.. Muaat doesn't seem like a fourth place race. Activate Lazar-Sakulag
Produce a Dreadnought and two fighters.
Exhaust Winnu + Sarween + 1 TG.
And Pass after cause 0/3/1 T/F/S @Hedgethorn to wrap it up with ACs?
I feel like the bgg stats are skewed simply from lower player counts (averages of 4.7 players per game). A 3 or 4 player game plays drastically differently than a 5 or 6.
