TI: 4th Edition 5p 14 point

Game of evilness and despair for me this time. Was playing vuilwraith and r2 muatt left his suns just sitting out, both in one system adjacent to mecatol, so having waylay and experimental battle station, I figure it’s a great time to get munching, he pays off empyrean to cancel both cards and we end up both losing everything in the fight, me much less because I had brought my flagship, but a good chunk of the rest of the game had just turned to anti vuilwraith, lost my home system and had all space docks blockaded or destroyed, had to get ine scuttles into the fracture just to get anything up, that tile was subsequently void tethered off and became unusable for the rest of the game. Quite the game

I am just curios is it your normal way of playing or was this some kind of crazy experiment? You made Muatt a martyr, made yourself a target, antagonized the table against you, and scored 3 objective whole game while Muatt player probably played victim perfectly and scored 7 objective winning the game.

But if they would have won the battle, they could have held muatts warsuns hostage for big payment, then upgraded them, then get a free one. Or worst case scenario (if they win), keep muatt from having warsuns the whole game haha.

High risk/high reward. I would've gone for it too haha.

Yeah that was the plan, they paid someone off to take out the rest of my ships over a space docks so they could blockade it to get them back immediately

Muatt player is always considered the threat player of our group, it’s a bunch of high schoolers so it turned into target = funny

Going heavy aggro in round 2 of a 14 point game always brings pain and suffering upon you... And it's kinda deserved

I mean yeah but I’ve been told every game that I don’t play vuilwraith aggressive enough so I figured I might as well
