We'll hit this up.

We spend a CC to move my Dreadnought away from Thibah, so Sarc's Space Dock is no longer Blockaded. You're welcome.

Oh, and I guess we'll also move our Cruiser from Tar'Mann to Centauri/Gral.

COMMAND COUNTERS
Command Pool: 1
Strategy Allocation: 0
Fleet Supply: 4
Activations: 1
Total in play: 7/16

UNITS (Deployed/Total)
Space Docks: 1/3, Darien x1
Ground Forces: Centauri x1, Gral x1, East Wormhole x2, Darien x4
Shock Troops: 0
PDS: 2/6, Darien x2
Fighters: East Wormhole x4
Carriers: 3/4, East Wormhole x2, Darien x1
Destroyers: 3/8, East Wormhole x1, Darien x2
Cruisers: 1/8, Centauri/Gral x1,
Dreadnoughts: 4/5, Tar'Mann x2, Darien x1, East Wormhole x1
War Suns: 0/2

Units (Location)
Darien: Space Dock x1, PDS x2, GF x4, Carrier x1, Dreadnought x1, Destroyer x2
Tar'Mann: GF x1, Dreadnought x2,
Centauri: GF x1, Cruiser x1
Gral: GF x1
East Wormhole: GF x2, Fighter x4, Destroyer x1, Carrier x2, Dreadnought x1


Edit: Whoops, I don't think I "Control" Centauri/Gral, since there's no actual flying units there. In that case, I can't move anything else, so I'll just move the Dreadnought over.

Whoops! There seem to be some technical difficulties!

Play action card

Faulty Targeting Systems: Play at any time. Cancel a Minelayers action card or discard 1 Space Mine in any system or force one opponent to re-roll a single PDS roll

Re-roll please!

If I announce a retreat before any given round, do my ships fire back or just sit there?

You announce a retreat. Both sides fire a volley and losses are counted. Then you can leave.

Are you retreating? Once you've declared your intentions, I'll post my numbers.

Remember, Tactical Retreats cost a Strategy Allocation CC. Regular retreats have to go to an adjacent already activated system. I prefer the leeway given with Tactical Retreats.

I'm not retreating! That's cowardly. I'd have to scrap a couple of ships anyway if I did. I really screwed up last round. :I

I'll roll now, since I might not get the chance later today.

Carrier: 8 (+1)

Fighters: 8 6 8 3 5 (+2)

Dreadnoughts: 6 9 5 (+1)

6 hits.

My fighters are out of the game. Next round!

Yeah, it's kind of scary how effective fighters are when there aren't any Destroyers around. All of us down in the Galactic South have these huge Destroyer complements, so we haven't gotten to see that first-hand.

EDIT: Oh hey! Sarc, on the last map, you missed that I've got Deep Space Cannon. The PDS on Muaat covers Lesab, El'nath, Resculon, and Coorneeq.

I'll kill off all my fighters and damage two dreadnoughts. I'd rather get one more shot off from my carrier, and I doubt you have two Direct Hits.

NO RETREATS. NO SURRENDER.

Dreadnougats: 9 8 4 (+1)
Carrier: 1 (+1)

Killing off my Carrier, damaging one Dreadnought, and killing another.

My Dreadnoughts are all damaged now.

Next round

Dreadnoughtx3: 7, 10, 5
Cruiserx3: 8, 1, 3 (+1 from Hylar Assault Cannon)
Carrierx1: 1

Four hits. That should do it for the rest of your forces after you've taken your last shot.

I'm playing a certain action card.

I may as well post my Round 3 rolls as well. This will be my final attack!

8 6

Two hits! My dreadnoughts fought well and died.

D'oh! I'm out of town again, so it'll have to wait a bit.

Two Cruisers bite the dust from the final volley.

Action card?

Quinarra - PDS x1, GF x3, Space Dock x1
Perimeter - GF x1
Perimeter Space - Carrier x1, Fighter x2, Cruiser x1
Vefut II - GF x1
Vefut II space - Dreadnought x1, Destroyer x1
A/L/A space - Cruiser x1
Abyz - GF x2, PDS x1, Space Dock x1

Alright, so...

Fria - Dreadnoughtx2 (Damaged), Cruiserx1, Carrierx1 + GFx1 + Shock Trooperx1

Commence bombardment of Fria by the Dreads

9, 10

Ground Trooper is wiped from the face of the planet. GF and Shock Trooper claim their well-deserved foothold on Fria.

With the Abyz docks blockaded and Fria conquered, I believe that it's Epiphet's move
