@RossM, @Marx - let’s follow Benkyo’s fine example, and have this as the game thread and “recruitment” as the chat thread.

@RogerBW asked for a die roll: # Round 1 Initiative stage. Nobody has made First Contact, so turn order is random. `d3: 3` 1=F, 2=K, 3=R `d2: 1` in the same order as above ---

1. Romulans 2. Federation 3. Klingons @Marx, therefore: build phase, then command phase, please. ---

Build Phase: 1 Romulan Warbird, please and thank you, and nothing else. Command Phase: 1 - Romulus Ship enters Warp 2 - Ship exits Warp (exploring to the north) 3 - Romulus Ship Enters Warp 4 - Ship Exits Warp (exploring west) 5 - Research phase (If I can select, I will pick “Imperial Science Initiative”, if I can’t pick then I’ll take a random one) May the gods have mercy on the brave, foolish souls of those explorers… ---

@RogerBW asked for a die roll: I’m going to lay this out in excruciating detail because it’s been a while since I’ve played this. (build phase) - spend 1 Production to build 1 ship at home system (command phase) - exhaust 1 Command to put one ship into warp - exhaust 1 Command to take one ship out of warp Space lane length: `d3+1: 4` ---

And finally, you kick off Imperial Science Initiative. So I think that ends up looking like: ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c73d0caab36d84990da24a9d017eb3f60b225882.jpeg) # Romulan Player: Marx | Resource | Count | | --- | --- | | Ascendancy | 1 | | Command | 0/5 | | Production | 2 | | Research | 4 | | Culture | 3 | - Romulan Cloaking Device # Klingon Player: RogerBW | Resource | Count | | --- | --- | | Ascendancy | 1 | | Command | 5/5 | | Production | 3 | | Research | 3 | | Culture | 3 | - Disruptor Technology # Federation Player: RossM | Resource | Count | | --- | --- | | Ascendancy | 1 | | Command | 5/5 | | Production | 3 | | Research | 3 | | Culture | 3 | - Universal Translator If that all looks good, @RossM to play. ---

Ok. Lets spend Three Production to build three ships, and create a science fleet. (I want to move a fourth ship into the fleet. I assume I can do that right now?) [Next page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/star-trek-ascendancy-game-1/3183.md?page=2)
