Star Trek Ascendancy game 6

Oh definitely, I’m having fun!

It is acceptable. Which ever one they want is fine.

Culture, please. It’s the logical choice.

Now can I retreat before a fight?

Slight edit, apologies, I’d like to upgrade weapons not shields. Sorry to be a pain. Understand if it’s already committed (although the Vulcans did roll back and entire turn…)

I don’t think so… 9.3 says ‘after taking casualties’… I think it’s different to invasions, where you can surrender before the attack (10.3 is quite explicit that you can surrender in invasions before taking casualties).

I had certainly assumed that “place” and “build” were separate things, but the counterarguments are convincing.

No - you can surrender a planet in the face of an invasion, but you have to fight at least one round of the space battle.

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Klingons have 19 ships, weapons 3, shields 0
Federation have 6 ships in Battle Group (rerolling 1s) + 2 singletons, weapons 4, shields 1.

Klingon: pool 19d6: 4× 1, 2× 2, 3× 3, 2× 4, 3× 5, 5× 6 for 4+
Federation BG: pool 6d6: 1, 2, 3, 4, 2× 5 for 4+
Federation singletons: pool 2d6: 2, 4 for 4+

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Federation BG reroll: pool 1d6: 2 for 4+

So that’s 10 hits from the Klingons, which wipes out the Federation forces, and 4 hits from the Federation, which I assume go against the 9-ship Fleet 2.

Fleet 1 follow-up moves into Kronos.

3+ ships defeated; Klingons gain a Culture.

(I forgot to add the starbase die for the Klingons. Makes no difference.)

  • C5, C6 10-ship Fleet 1 warps to Coridan III.
  • C7 Fleet 1 attacks ships at Coridan, both Federation and Ferengi.

Klingons 10 ships weapons 3+ shields 0
Federation 3 ships weapons 4+ shields 1
Ferengi 2 ships weapons 4+ shields 0

@Lordof1 you must divide your attack dice between the two enemy forces before rolling. (4+ to hit Fed, 3+ to hit Ferengi.)

Let’s have 7 dice vs Federation and 3 vs Ferengi please

Sorry, edited to 7:3

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Klingon vs Federation pool 7d6: 2, 3× 3, 4, 5, 6 for 4+
Klingon vs Ferengi pool 3d6: 1, 2, 3 for 3+

Federation vs Klingon pool 3d6: 1, 4, 6 for 4+
Ferengi vs Klingon pool 2d6: 1, 2 for 4+

All three Federation ships are destroyed.

Klingons lose 2 ships.

Ferengi lose 1, 1 survives.

Klingons cannot opt to retreat. @Canadian_Errant do the Ferengi wish to retreat (and if so where?) or keep fighting?

Ferengi retreat.

Didn’t know I was defending Coridan

Retreat towards Mazar.

The Klingons had a choice whether to include you in the attack - though if they had left you out they wouldn’t have been able to move in themselves. (I’m assuming they do this.)

(Klingons get another culture for defeating 3+ ships.)

I think I have too much production there? My nodes only made 8.

My control node on Dakala, apparently, got under the system again: my nodes should give me 6P instead of 5 (?)
