Then I’m happy for you to have the trade deal.
Vulcan turn continues:
- C2 fleet 2 exits warp at Romulus and deposits an ambassador.
- C3, C4, C5: three ships at Deneb V enter warp
Card 6: Borg (NPC) - no activity
Card 7: Romulan (@Assussanni)
I seem to have lost my Vulcan trade agreement. Is that intentional? Looks like it should have been the one the Klingons had (1p) that was given to the Federation unless I’ve missed something.
Thanks, will fix.
Romulan Build Phase
Remove 1 ship from fleet 3 to colonise Indri VIII (-1c).
Build culture node on Indri VIII (-1p, -2c).
Build research node on Indri VIII (-1p, -2r).
Build 4 ships at Romulus (-4p).
Build 4 ships at Thonolan IV (-4p).
Add research to Tal Shiar Monitoring Posts (-1r).
End build phase. 2p, 2r, 2c remaining.
Questions: (1) would anything fit if I explored west of Capella with a 2 length space lane, or is the system disc too big? (2) what existing systems, if any, could Indri VIII connect to?
- Build done:
- West from Capella: possible at length 2 only.
- Indri:
- can connect to Goralis with a 2 if you push Rog up
- can connect to Weytahn on 2, 3 or 4
- can’t connect to Bajor
- can’t connect to Izar even moving Rog
- can connect to Singularity Cluser on 3 or 4
- can connect to Sigma Draconis on a 4
- can’t connect to Rog (only one warp lane).
- can connect to Son’a Prime with a 4
@Assussanni asked for a die roll:
Wow, more connections available than I thought.
Romulan Command Phase
Revoke Trade Agreement with the Klingons.
Commands 1&2: Battle Group 2 warps from Indri VIII to Thonolan IV.
Commands 3&4: one ship at Thonolan IV warps to Trill.
Command 5: one ship at Thonolan IV enters warp, then…
Command 6: moves to Capella and explores west, looking for a space lane of length 2. Space lane length: d3+1: 2
Mental note: declare I am looking for hit rolls of 6 before rolling the dice.
(As an aside, when Roger wrote in the battle “Federation takes no more casualties”, from that point on I didn’t land a single hit… I’m starting to think that not only do the dice hate me, they are ALSO very prone to suggestions…)
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
System: Mutara Nebula (H5 Phenomenon-4) (Ships here may not use their Shields.)
Ship’s lost on 5+: d6: 1
1 research gained from phenomenon.
1 command left.
I’m sorry mate, I didn’t expect the rolls to be that much in my favour. It’s not like I was using my Wolfnet dice or anything (which I didn’t know were illegal until well after I started using them)
I just noticed that I have a Vulcan trade deal that I shouldn’t- the Vulcans, Romulans and Ferengi have mine, I just have the Ferengi and Romulans at the moment.
Place research gained onto Tal Shiar Monitoring Posts.
Command 7: begin new Advancement Project: Cloaked Orbital Mines (which enters play with 1 research from Imperial Science Initiative).
End of turn.
Note earlier:
Card 9: Cardassian (@MIGHTYSploosh)
Build: 1 research on gravitic minefields card. 6 research to raise shields. 5 culture for 3rd ascendency. Build 9 ships into fleet 1 card on Risa. Then build 4 ships on Cardassia Prime.
C1-4: move 2 ships from Cardassia Prime to Bajor. And that’ll end my turn.
