(Why would you not colonise Argolis!) ---

I will indeed colonize Argolis, lamenting the loss of one Command in exchange. That’s actually not nearly as bad as I thought it was (I thought I lost three, and that would be far worse!) Oh well. A very acceptable trade, I suppose! ---

Well, one command - you’d already used 5 for the research project and the two exploration actions, so there was only the one left. # Round 1 Recharge Phase - Victory check: 5 Ascendancy (not Vulcans), 3 Homeworlds (not Vulcans), Vulcan Agenda - Nodes produce: - Vulcan: P, R, C - Cardassian: P, R, C - Federation: P, R, C - Romulan: P, R, C - Andorian: P, R, C - Trade Agreements produce: - Vulcan: R - Federation: 3P - Andorian: R - Resources from Advancements - Command tokens are reset - Ships at warp get another Warp token - Empty Phenomena get Research tokens # End of round 1 Please check for mistakes - I’m altering the record-keeping a bit from the last game. ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d8b28e6a49d06d38770312d96b1b13962712e219.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e5872b233ba5cf8ee7b8d0e2984972fcbaa694f8.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/a/aca6f864cf1ab21f9ecca3be88360700ae9ff641.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9dd07ef720bc81b72d38362316e80c3c32f1e090.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d034397c0cac7d7dad507e7938ffb002f1f6eaef.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a8fac0760af8dde405ca6a9dbf7d79028f95c2c0.jpeg) ---

Ship in warp, leave warp attempting to connect to argolis. If not we will plonk down a planet. ---

Are we doing 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional? ie. like TTS, swivel a lane and planet can occur over another. Or are we locked in a “flat plane” existence? ---

Yes, **lanes are not allowed to move across each other after placement**. §8.6.4 “When swinging a Floating System or Space Lane, you may not pick it up off the board, it can only swing around the single System to which it’s directly connected.” ---
