Hey sevarian? When engaged in peace negotiations, it's best if you're able to seal the deal.

Admittedly, it doesn't help when some really tempting objectives get dropped in your opponent's lap...

All ships! Flank speed! Destination: Tar'mann!

I'm activating Tar'mann and moving in the Dreadnaught, War Sun, and six Fighters from Arinam/Meer. severian, roll your Assault Cannon barrage.

Assault Cannon rolls a 6, which I believe is a hit.

I'll announce a Retreat into Darien, if anything survives. I'll do the rest of the rolls in a bit.

A 6 is a hit, yeah. I'll burn a fighter for that, leaving me with 5. My rolls:

Dreadnought: 3 (miss)
War Sun: 9, 7, 5
Fighters: 6, 9, 7, 1, 7

dreadnought 1: 9
dreadnought 2: 9
cruiser: 4

so, looks like 2 hits, unless I have something in my techs or cards that bumps up the cruiser roll. I'll check it tonight.

let's check your rolls...

hmm, 4 hits. I may have a card to save one dreadnought, but won't be back to see my card list until late tonight. in the meantime, we will retreat a damaged dreadnought to Darien, and the other two ships go away.

commence with your blockading or invasions, glowy space turds!

I'mma blockading; I didn't bring any Ground Forces with me. `Hrist is up.

passing

severian is up!

I already passed, so you're up!

Oops, I forgot!

I'll spend a CC to put 2 GF on Sakulag.

Googleshng is up!

I don't think it matters, so I'm just going to get it out there now for the sake of expediency: I'm going to Pass on my turn.

You were taking those last 2 hits to Fighters, right?

Yeah, I'll be taking any hits Severian manages to generate to fighters.
