- explorer moves to coal in Vox. There is a inf at 7, so I move him 87. We spot the transports!

4 transports sighted at Panama Vox 47.
LNT=TR, LNT-ID, LNT-CA(vet), LNT-CG.

Good Spot!

[Aeson]

Our first Explorer (at Tip) would have seen them if they headed East.

[Cort Haus]

So we know the exact location of all Lego's troops - as there are no other transports or land locations to have gone to, right? Cheaper than a plans-steal!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have only posted the names of three transports...

That should have been
LNT-TR, LNT-ID, LNT-CA(vet), LNT-CG.

just a typo, the '-' and '=' are next to each other, and that is my paralyzed hand... I mix ''' and ';' all the time My ring finger doesn't move like it should, but oh well... at least it still moves. My pinky is gone.

We can get another DD out from Elipolis next turn too disbanding a Marine.

I think so yes. But let's wait till we get certainty on the S-fleet, they can still be at 2 or 3 tiles. Even if we know the most likely one.

Hum... interesting thought. One second though, let me continue with the moves before thinking on this.

The Galleys we have... are they part of a treaty to have there? They are basically useless and eating up 1gpt. ND can easily slip past the S one keeping in their cities. The N one can't cover enough to keep GoW from getting around it unseen... and of course neither could spot a Sub in any case.

[Cort Haus]

The Northern one gives us 1-turn notice on a GoW fleet from that direction.

[Krill]

DeepO, sorry, I never knew. If you don't mind me inquiring how did it happen?

Cort, could we replace that galey with a DD (ie, the one we could get from Elipolis), an thn upgrade the Galley?

[Cort Haus]

On the GoW diplomacy - I think the ball is pretty much in their court, as we already made some comments to them. I think a Dye Camp (could we consider a colony?) is enough for now - we already mentioned the possible status of this area to GoW.

MZ is away till the new year - we should consider that dealing with UnO, while invigorating, might be slightly different.

[Aeson]

GoW can get from Death Valley to Surfer's Paradise without being seen (5 movement). Then they can get from Surfer's Paradise to Velocity 1114 (or somewhere in the general area), which is outside the possible view of the Galley too.

If GoW knows it's there (and if they are planning an invasion that way they definitely will know it's there) it's completely avoidable.

Nope.

ND can move past the galley if they move around it. By going throught their cities, they shouldn't... that galley is sleeping, not fortified. I know it doesn't always work.

The N one can't cover enough to keep GoW from getting around it unseen... and of course neither could spot a Sub in any case.

You're right... this situation still exists from before the founding of Surfer's Paradise. Then it had it's purpose, now... well... something historical that got overlooked.
