@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Romulan reroll: pool 1d6: 3
Klingon fleet 2 reroll: pool 1d6: 4
3 hits from Romulans.
7 hits from Klingons, becomes 6.
12 Klingons + starbase vs 10 Romulans.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Actually since I’m here and I assume you aren’t retreating…
Romulans 10d6: 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 4 = 31 for 5+, reroll a 1
Klingons fleet 2: pool 6d6: 1, 2, 2× 3, 4, 6 for 4+, reroll all 1s
Other Klingons including starbase: 7d6: 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 25 for 4+

Romulans inflict 1 hit.
Klingons inflict 8 hits, down to 7.
I believe that’s no Romulan ships left.

Clearly today wasn’t a good day to die.

The guns are hot, the hull is ringing,
The engines sing the sound of triumph;
And every one aboard awaits
A prize upon the high horizon.
Hand and weapon! Heart and power!
Cry it with the voice of Empire!
Victory and prize and plunder!
Vengeance flies at morning!
Thank you both! This has reminded me how much I’ve enjoyed this game the few times I’ve got to play it.
Definitely up for doing this again.

As am I!
Things I’ve learnt.
You can spend the entire game creating an elaborate maze of phenomenon to your home world and it won’t stop people.
Pulling three where no man has gone before cards in a row is a massive pain.
Cards have two sides.

Things I have learned:.
- You never have enough Research.
- No, seriously. You need more Research.
- Don’t build specialty fleets until your Shields can protect them.
- Shields need Research? That’s too bad, because you need more Research.
- And don’t forget about Weapons, which you also can’t afford to upgrade because…

Projects look cheap, and the Advancements are nice, and then HOW much Research to upgrade weapons and shields…?

I watched a few youtube play throughs, including one that randomly contained someone I met once. We seemed to have a lot of systems. Are we sure we placed systems correctly?

“Sure”? Who can say? I didn’t see anything inconsistent with §8.6 Building the Galaxy. pp. 29-31 in the PDF.
