Butlerian Jihad Continued


The fanatics tried again, but once again the Emperor anticipated their move.


Ken Banobi and General Ordin attack! Basileus Naviwinat


The allies found the Emperor's military facilities completely evacuated. Even his harem was gone. Not a single soul was found alive in New Constantinopol.

The allies split the captured bases like this: Ken Banobi occupies two bases and General Ordin gets one.

But where the Emperor of the known Universe be?

Hmm.. just what would a fleet of fighters expect to attack?

Greed


The Emperor is where the money is. Attacking one of the most powerful tycoons in the Universe, former CEO of the CHOAM Company and now CEO of Danz Corporation, Chairman Danz himself.


Basileus Naviwinat attacks! Danz

Basileus Naviwinat: 37FF, 18TF, OoB: FMF-TTL, back off, spread out, fight to the death
Danz: 2LD, 2FD, 1TD, 2LB, 2TB, 1FC, OoB: MLL-FFT, close in, spread out


It seems that CEO Danz counted on bribery to get him out of this mess. But Paddyshah Emperor wasn't interested in bribes. He wanted all!


74F - M - Danz takes 74 hits
M - 28L - Basileus Naviwinat takes 28 hits
148F - 28L - Danz takes 120 hits and his fleet is destroyed


Danz is eliminated. Paddyshah Emperor Basileus Naviwinat takes control of his 4 bases. The Emperor lost 9 carrier frigates in the process.

Fighters beating lasers, now I've seen it all.

Autoannihilation


It's not the best day for people of substance. Mr. Y too got attacked by a numerically superior foe. Lucky for him the attacker was Min Grah.

Nobody really knows how this law enforcement officer, former head of the Imperial Guard, a man with impeccable record of loyalty to his Emperor, a man with Imperial Conditioning got the idea to attack the mysterious Mr. Y. But his enterprise was doomed from the start due to his poorly chosen OoB. Well, we cannot expect from a policeman to be the military genius, now can we?


Min Grah attacks! Mr. Y

Min Grah: 14LB, 2FF, 1TF, OoB: LML-FFT, close in, spread out, fight to the death, fight whomever
Mr. Y: 3LD, 1FD, 1TD, 4LB, 1FF, 1TF, OoB: MLL-FFT, close in, spread out


168L - M - Mr. Y takes 168 hits (lazzorgeddon)
M - 192L - Min Grah takes 192 hits (lazzorgeddon)
336L - 96L - Mr. Y takes 240 hits (second lazzorgeddon)


Well, one lazzorgeddon is enough, provided you don't suffer one yourself. The outcome of this battle of doubly closed in lasers is a scene of total devastation with no victors and two losers. Mr. Y keeps his bases though.

I love it when that happens.

Brilliant Professor Morrisa


Did anyone ever doubt the brilliance of Professor Morrisa? If yes, it's time to rethink that. Her flawless efficiency and keen sense of timing once again netted a big prize for her - 4 bases formerly owned by General Ordin.


Professor Morrisa attacks! General Ordin


Once again unopposed and against the same opponent, but this time the prize is bigger.


"Hey Ordin, thanks for the 7 free bases! Keep building and taking them bases for me!"

Round 3


Some players issued 2 special orders this turn. I advise them to read the rules carefully once more, and in particular study section Playing the Game - Orders.

All players be informed once more that I read orders from left to right and from top to bottom and apply what parts of the orders I can. Those parts that would collide with the rules I simply ignore, usually without any notice (certainly without any prior notice).


Next turn will be processed on Tuesday. You have plenty of time to scheme against your foes and friends by then.

yea, the last line should be 56 lasers, for all the difference it would make.

We are getting quite a few early eliminations this game.
