(reminder: Borg always take a random card)

#581

No bid from the Romulans.

#582

After or before the bidding players?

#583

My first answer was wrong… they get a random card AFTER the bidding players have chosen theirs, so the go at some point after the players who have bid.

Yes, in effect they’re always a non-bidding player.

#585

Excellent. Thought I had wasted a culture

Card 3: Vulcan (@Canadian_Errant)

#587

Build Phase: Build 6 ships at Vulcan and 4 at Sherman’s Planet.
Build a resaerch node at Mazar

Command Phase:
Command Not Needed: Science Halitra does the hazard at Mutara
C1: Consul Halitra 1 comes out of warp at Benzar
C2: ship being pursed by the Borg comes out of warp at Benzar.
C3-5: 1 ship at Mutara goes to warp, comes out of warp at the Pulsar and does the hazard
C6: Move the ambassador from Sherman’s Planet to Mazar
All research into the pool if successful

We acknowledge the Romulan’s diplomatic cables and have no objections. (Rocks are cool. Poems are cool.)

#588

(Just edited this to add the Research node at Mazar)

#589

A double-sized ship on the board represents ten individual ships.

I remind you that for the Science Halitra if you choose the no-command option you don’t get the reroll – note that “OR”. (This is unlike other powers’ science fleets.) Please confirm.

#590

Confirmed.

#591

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Science Halitra braves Mutara, lost on 5+:
pool 6d6: 2× 2, 3, 2× 5, 6

Single ship at Pulsar, lost on 4+:
pool 1d6: 1
