Nine hits against the Klingons, leaving 2 ships; 3 against the Fed, I assume concentrating against one fleet in order to try to break it up for later.
@RossM: retreat or press the attack? (Klingons don’t have the option of retreating.)

Ha!
more and more interesting…
And it was such a quiet galaxy a few rounds ago.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Federation pool 9d6: 2× 1, 2× 2, 3, 2× 4, 5, 6 for 4+ rerolling 1s
Klingon pool 2d6: 1, 5 for 5+
One more Fed ship lost, breaking up the fleet, but 8 remain. You may tactical-move those two ships plus the fleet into Kronos if you wish, and you have one Command left.
I’m really wondering what’s happening next… 
I’d say let’s tactical move onto Kronos with all the ships and then attempt Hegemony.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
So you have A2 +1 for Universal Translator = d6+3: 5
Which needs to exceed: A1 + 4 nodes + 1 (Klingon High Council) = 6
If you don’t have any non-Command actions, we’re on to
Card 4: Romulan (@Carletto80)
It’s a hard turn, with hard decisions to take.
Build:
- improve shields (cost: 6R)
- put 1 Research onto RD and CC projects (cost: 2R ; gain: 1C, 1 command (exhausted))
- colonize Argo and build a Culture Node there (cost: ship in orbit, 3C, 1P)
- buy 1 Ascendancy (cost: 5C ; gain: 1 Asc)
- disband fleet 3
- build 9 ships on Deneb V forming them into generic fleet 3 (cost: 9P)
- build 4 (or whatever my residual Production allows) ships on Romulus forming them into generic fleet 2 (or whatever fleet is the one with Battle Group on its front side) (cost: 4P)
Command:
- Ship in warp from Sigma Draconis exits warp through Kronos into Paulson Nebula, pending Federation approval (I received private consular dispatch they agree on the move, but I’ll wait for a public answer)
Just to gently point out that’s 6 culture per turn for the Romulans at this point…
Can confirm passage is fine
C1 continues: Romulan ship braves Paulson Nebula, and with Shields 1 is safe from a hazard-6. Where should the Research go? Active projects are Tal’Diann Security Forces, Orbital Defense Grid, Katra of Surak.
Command:
- Research on Tal’Diann Security Forces (I think this is the first research I get from phenomena this game!)
- Fleet 3 enters warp
- Fleet 3 exits warp through Nervala IV in the last space lane sector before the Black Hole
- Fill fleet 2 to maximum capacity with ships from Romulus, and have it enter warp
- Fleet 2 exits warp into Hupyria
- Commission Starbase in Hupyria
The Romulans are done

It’s my second time being right next to the Paulson nebula - I’ve been a bit spoilt!

I may have the mighty Klingon Empire notice that they actively chose to act after the Romulans…
Meh, we’ve cooled on that Nebula. There’s only so much poking a Klingon can do without wanting to hit something.
