When I post the map (and any battles are resolved) for turn 3, I'll post up when new construction is due.

So will you put my fleets at the right position
1 at 41
2 at 43
3 at 45

By Ken Burnside (Ken_Burnside) on Thursday, May 20, 2010 - 10:01 am: Edit

Benoit, your fleets will be put in the positions you gave them orders to be in. Sometimes, as the saying goes, screwups happen.

It's something you'll get to deal with down the road.

By Benoit Rheaume (Bneus) on Thursday, May 20, 2010 - 05:46 pm: Edit

Yep I know and you agree too
from May 5th
Yep, i just checked my sent orders

You are correct, Benoit. Fixed.

2D6+2 i think its a bit long: by the +2, but it works to keep the game moving and fresh
...any under BPV fleet not wishing to fight will need to come up with some 'creative disengagement'
... if a motion is put on the floor for change, lets vote ...

By James Bunker (Valonqar) on Friday, May 21, 2010 - 11:11 pm: Edit

Everyone sent in their orders yet? I would think most of you are sitting like me.

Also I agree that would be a good thing to vote on. Ken could make some adjustment to the rule and then we could vote for a change. That would give room for more negotiations and back room deals on it. Much like raising the fleet levels.

By Ken Burnside (Ken_Burnside) on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 03:28 am: Edit

I have all orders in. Compiling them now.

Robert Grey still has two 'mulligans' for making map overlays. While I doubt he's going to use them, he has until Saturday at midnight Central time to say one way or the other, and I'll update the map on Sunday, or shortly after I see him say he's not using them.

In the future:

1) Please include the orders in PLAIN TEXT in your email - not as an RTF attachment (This is mostly for Ken Apel)

2) Please make sure the subject of your email has DbOM in it, so that my email filters will see it and put it in the right place.

By Robert Grey (Tugger) on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 09:27 pm: Edit

Looks good to me, not burning mulligan at this point.

By Ken Burnside (Ken_Burnside) on Sunday, May 23, 2010 - 01:13 pm: Edit

Map file is updated.

Everyone now gets until a week from Tuesday (to give people taking time off for Memorial Day Weekend) to get their updated fleet lists in place.

Please read and reread the construction rules. I expect there will be questions.

Once fleets are in, I will roll to see if the mobile ion storms move.

I will be tinkering with the spreadsheets to make their output a tiny bit easier for me to deal with after everyone sends their fleets in. When the fleets come back to you, use the new sheets.

One very nice thing about this campaign format is that the amount of time I have to spend doing fiddly stuff to track moves is less than the amount of time it takes me to dredge your moves out of my inbox.

By Peter Thoenen (Eol) on Sunday, May 23, 2010 - 02:47 pm: Edit

Ken:

Any chance you could lightly color each province the empire owns (like the races color @ 25% shading/blending). Ja I know technically nobody owns an entire province (but simply occupy or own the resource site) but would make the map easier to read

Maybe draw a straight-line from map edge to first resource site an empire owns to next resource site to map edge and color all those. Example:

RT: RT_001,OZ_039,OZ_036,OZ_035,OZ_037,OZ_054,OZ_034

Just a suggestion by a observer as I like traditionally area of control/influence maps .. feel free to ignore

By Ken Burnside (Ken_Burnside) on Sunday, May 23, 2010 - 05:07 pm: Edit

Peter, I experimented with this when setting up the map initially, and determined that it was more work than I was willing to do to maintain.

The momentum in this campaign depends largely on how much I can make it easy for ME to process turns.

By Benoit Rheaume (Bneus) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 08:21 am: Edit

UTF4.14....At the end of each Resource Evaluation Phase, players submit a vote to increase the fleet limit;....This vote and its effects take place before scrapping or building new units.

That was a brief of bpv cap rule, so to keep everything in order, before we build anything.

My vote is Nay 700bpv cap is ok with me..for now.

By Benoit Rheaume (Bneus) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 08:25 am: Edit

Oh this might affect me more than others.
There are rules to refill carriers fighters .
But I havent found any rule of the cost of repairing damaged fighters?

By Ken Burnside (Ken_Burnside) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 08:51 am: Edit

Benoit - damage to fighters and shuttles (short of destruction) is repaired for free between turns, every turn. Your deck crews can get out the bondo.

By glenn somerfield (Sumo) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 11:22 am: Edit

Vote for fleet cap increase ....Nay... 700 is good for now... the chamber of The BDOM Congress goes wild

By Ken Apel (Kengulnar) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 04:04 pm: Edit

The Romulan/Tholian ambassador returns with a NO vote on fleet size increase

By Robert Grey (Tugger) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 04:16 pm: Edit

No more votes needed, motion to increase fleet sizes fails.

By James Bunker (Valonqar) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 04:36 pm: Edit

Wow, and I get get chastised for no diplomacy.

The High Council has met an chosen the name Klith for our Domains.

By Benoit Rheaume (Bneus) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 07:24 pm: Edit

OMG I actually have to find the Klith before I can even engage it...maybe if I rub the Klith the right way???

Hey Val do I get a copyright payment for that name

By James Bunker (Valonqar) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 09:38 pm: Edit

Hehe, nope you may have the credit for the name but due to domain issues your copyright is only valid in uncontested HYPE territory. The Klith are not above acquiring the good works of others. The Klingolians just wasn't working so thanks for the help.

By Robert Grey (Tugger) on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - 10:52 pm: Edit

Official Announcement

The ISC/Kzin Empire is now to be known as...

Wait for it.

I-Claw

That is all.

By Benoit Rheaume (Bneus) on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 07:56 am: Edit

What is the exact way to put a new BATS in my order sheet.
The way I did it, takes a fleet space, is that ok?
And i can place it at any space that I control AND have a fleet of at least 200bpv, right?

By Ken Burnside (Ken_Burnside) on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 10:04 am: Edit

It will take a fleet space - you can create more fleet spaces on the first tab.

And yes, you can place it in any space that you have issued an Occupy order on and have a fleet of at least 200 BPV.
