Activate Naalu. Lose 1 from Fleet Pool, all fleets still legal. Move in all units from Qucen'n including fighters and infantry. Move in dreadnought with infantry from Corneeq.

We can probably end the game here. I'd like to remind the table then when I pointed out leaving a player with two wedges was probably a bad idea that this is what happens

There's 3 players who can win before the status phase, and I am not one of them. All I can do is put Letnev in the best possible position should we reach the status phase.

Hedgethorn is one of three who could hit 10 before the status phase (along with Disc and MrBody; technically Preda or I could too, but it would take 2 Action Phase SOs each, so...). He can only do it with an Action Phase SO though...so taking his home system wouldn't do anything. It only prevents scoring of Public Objectives, not Secret.

He can only do it with an Action Phase SO though...so taking his home system wouldn't do anything. It only prevents scoring of Public Objectives, not Secret.
I've already scored 2 SO, and can't score more than a third. I can't win before status phase, which mean that I can't win at all since there are 3 (now 2 since Naalu are wreked) before me. Unless MrBody closes with Imperial first, it's all between Hedgethorn and Discrider with an action SO and Ketar in Status phase.
See, I may have thought you were on 9.
So clearly you're still a major threat that can win this phase and everyone should stop you from winning so that I can win with my 5 card in status.

Order of Play
The Naalu Collective (@Mojo_Jojo): (0) Technology
The Barony of Letnev (Ketar): (1) Leadership
The Mentak Coalition (Hedgethorn): (2) Diplomacy
Sardakk N'orr (Preda): (3) Politics
The Winnu (discrider): (5) Trade

Exhaust both planets with resources
Research Graviton laser and space dock II
Blow up the cruiser and destroyer as sacrifice to the technology god
@ketar @Hedgethorn @preda @MrBody @discrider for the secondary
Trash Winnu Carrier to research Graviton Laser. Exhaust Winnu + Thibah.
Soon we'll be eating our boots I fear.
3/4/1 T/F/S
@Ketar
1/2/1
@Mojo_Jojo
Hedgethorn doesn't have to be eliminated if Ketar scores first.
We can probably end the game here. I'd like to remind the table then when I pointed out leaving a player with two wedges was probably a bad idea that this is what happens
He might mean 3 players and not Hedgethorn.
Instead of 3 players and not Disc.
Preda is on 8 according to the last update. And the one before that.
Hm.
Guess so.
Why not Leadership?
Space Cannon Offense
Letnev has 1 War Sun, 2 Dreadnought IIs, 1 Cruiser, and 2 Fighters (carrying 3 Infantry).
Naalu has 4 Hybrid Crystal Fighter IIs.
Naalu has 1 PDS in range for Space Cannon Offense. -1 to hit for Letnev's Antimass Deflectors.
Geth roll 1d10t7 for Naalu Space Cannon Offense
Combat Round 1
Geth roll 3d10t3+2d10t5+1d10t6+3d10t9 for Letnev
Geth roll 4d10t7 for Naalu
Naalu scores 2 hits; how will the hits be allocated, @Ketar?
Combat will resolve in favor of Letnev following hit allocation, and Letnev's action will continue.
Bombard Druaa with everything. Use Plasma Scoring for an additional die for the War Sun.
Geth roll 4d10t3+2d10t5 for Letnev Bombardment
Your action continues, @Ketar.
Then pass on second action, so @Hedgethorn would be up.
Hedgethorn for the next action.
I've already scored 2 SO, and can't score more than a third. I can't win before status phase, which mean that I can't win at all since there are 3 (now 2 since Naalu are wreked) before me. Unless MrBody closes with Imperial first, it's all between Hedgethorn and Discrider with an action SO and Ketar in Status phase.
So clearly you're still a major threat that can win this phase and everyone should stop you from winning so that I can win with my 5 card in status.
