works for me

Your first rover can't move there as that is in the scout's ZOC. The rover can get to the nut square, however, by going N for 1 then E for 1, thus blocking the scout's further northward perambulation.

Take it out now as I don't see how that would be tipping our millitary prepardness, we have units in our cities and we have units around them exploring they don't have to know how many or have any other than that we just got lucky to have one close by. Definitly should contact them afterwards and say that we do not accept interlopers on our land and any further movements in that vain will result in a decleration of vendetta and that we claim the entire continent along with outlying islands. Then we should move to probe them immeaditly to see how much of a threat they might be and if they are one then work so that they are not if they are not work on defense build up millitary perhaps put some standing units at "border" try a contanment strategy. Oh welcome back marshal glad to see you out of curiosoity you wouldn't need someone to lead the probe actions and take that responsibility away from you?

Glory to the hive!

*smacks self on head cause he knows that...*

Problem with though, googlie, is that it puts our rover within striking distance of the scout. The most effective way to utilize a rover is to keep it so that it can attack the unit, or put it in a defensive place such as rocky or fungus. Rovers don't take well to being attacked themselves.

Really it should just go to the river then back onto the rocky one north-east. That way if the scout does go north or east, we can still attack it from afar.

Sorry guys, i slipped up on that count.

Other rover is tied up take care of that last mindworm.

The first rover moves onto the river then onto the rocky.

The university met us during their turn, but didn't bother to contact us at all.

Kody and I have conferred, and there is a probe team we can put on the purple dot instead. It is only 4ec (he says) to take the scout, so if it does get hostile, we will use it. The rover will be there to minimize movement and provide reinforcement.

*note* will only start moving there, if it looks like the scout is going away it will return to old mission

That is partly my fault - they sat on the turn for 48 hours with no-one playing it, then after I nudged them, a junior librarian opened it and announced the Hive contact, what to do? etc,

What with people's general unavailability and whatnot, time was running out, so preplanned moves were executed, the game saved and zipped and then sent onwards under, by then, intense time pressure.

Is that a nudge Googlie?
