Galactic Overlord 7- Enhanced Graphics Edition

[Kassiopeia]

Not possible.

I think it is clear, but you are correct this question has come up before so it is obviously not clear enough.

You can only attack one other person. You cannot split your fleet to attack two other people you can only split your fleet to attack and defend.

Perhaps this should be clearly spelled out in the rules for next game, or Smiley could spell it out in the rules of this game.

In my opinion this is a necessary rule that cannot and should not be changed, allowing attacking of multiple opponents would result in a chaotic game for players and GMs alike.

Special Orders (you can choose only one of these per turn)[list][*]Attack! : This starts a fight between your fleet and that of an opponent. You must choose which ships to send, and which to leave at home in case you yourself are attacked that turn. See Combat for more.

I believe it is clear in the rules you can have only one attack per turn. Attack is one of the special orders.

I read rules 1.4 and they are good. Will you GM GO 8 Jamski to introduce them?

[Jamski]

Yeah, I guess I'm up again to GM a game.

Update: There are 13 hours remaining to send in or modify orders.

Processing will begin at sunrise tomorrow (around 6:30 Pacific time)

A question about maneuvering: Are enemy weapons doubled against it, or do they hold constant? I could see lots of MML-MML style OoBs...

The regular players know about only being able to attack one other player, but with new people joining the rules could certainly use a tone up.

This is why this stuff is up now before GO 8 I guess MML-MML could be popular, but that pretty much guarentees the destruction of your fleet as it will be hit 4 times without reply.

Now, are we going to use the rule that weapons without reply do double damage? Or are they already damaging enough?

I suppose ML*-ML* where * is whatever other element you want to throw in might be effective...

[Ljube]

Orders sent.

It really depends. If you load up on one type of ammo (Laser, Torepdo, Fighter), you could easily wipe a fleet out in two turns of no attack.

Orders in

[MORON]

I'm thinking MLL/LML, for first round attack strategies, but the problem is that with 3x hit points, a cripping attack on first turn is harder now. The real advantage for the M order lies in 2 ship type fleets, like MTTMFF. The M command can also be used defensively, with MLLMMM, as opposed to something like LLT TFF, while only having lasers, which could be countered with balanced TTFFLL, causing massive counter strike damage. This is especially useful in reducing the risk of losing a attacks to zero if given good knowledge of enemy OOB.

MML type OOB are probably potentially capable of max damage, but it ensures heavy losses. In anycase, it now only causes a max of 2/3 damage due to the 3hit point rules.

Alright, all orders are in.

I gonna be busy this morning, so won't update for another six hours. But I'll let ya know this is happening:

People at peace this turn:
-------------------------------
Sandman
Skanky Burns
Spaced Cowboy

1 Overlord picked a good time to raise shields...
2 Overlords are probably going to be wiped out...
3 Overlords are going to lose their homeworlds...

I'd also like to point out that no bases were built this turn.

4 Overlords were double-crossed
