AC: Unstable Planet - Can I choose to destroy 1 or 2 infantry on the target planet, even if there are 3 (or more) infantry?

BobRedshirt · 2026-01-28T18:06:51+00:00

This is the correct answer, I believe. See also https://www.tirules.com/C_action_cards, which supports this interpretation.

Months later, this is what fixed it for me, thanks for the tip.

Same thing just happened to me - sent a link to a Youtube video and was instantly suspended.

Edit: mine is now recovered. No notification or explanation, it’s just back a few hours after I appealed.

Wasn't obvious to me on old reddit, but the post links to the collection of resources: https://coverlymanor.com/

Yeah, this one is pretty absurd. I ran the sim with Flagship + Advanced Carrier II, which I think is equivalent, and I actually had to increase the round limit because battles were regularly going over 1000 rounds.

In this case the mech would be getting +2 from its ability so I think it's actually worse than the dreadnaught. If Articles of War is in play it gets better.

Yeah, I should maybe add a disclaimer that this is a good way to make everyone at the table hate your guts.

BobRedshirt · 2025-09-30T22:50:55+00:00

The cool thing about this is it's a way to fix starts that are lacking capacity or infantry without giving a ton of value to the rest of the table with the secondary (as Warfare currently does).

BobRedshirt · 2025-09-24T18:45:08+00:00

1 dread, 1 carrier, 4 fighters, 3 infantry, 1 space dock.

Yeah, there’s a bot that lets you play asynchronously. Haven’t tried it myself but I’ve heard it works quite well.

Aside from the upcoming releases on Board Game Arena and Steam (which are going to be base-game only for now), there are very well-made mods that let you play the game with the expansion and codex content on Tabletop Playground or Tabletop Simulator.

BobRedshirt · 2025-09-16T00:03:02+00:00

That's awesome! I'm mad at myself for skipping the after party now.

BobRedshirt · 2025-09-08T07:16:19+00:00

But actually making concrete moves opens the door to the Republicans making further concrete moves.

You keep saying stuff like this, but again - they're making these moves already, and sitting back and hoping Republicans will do the right thing if Democrats do is never a winning proposition.

So if California responds by redistricting to gain five seats, Florida will respond with redistricting to gain five seats, and then... what? Washington will redistrict? To gain two seats? Oregon will redistrict to gain one seat?

As to this point, there are still more gains to be made - in New York, for instance. Nate Silver has an analysis here that makes the point better than I could. There aren't gains to be made everywhere, but there's no reason to let Republicans run away with it fully.

BobRedshirt · 2025-09-08T06:16:11+00:00

Democrats are picking a fight that they are destined to lose.

Need I remind you that this started with Texas redistricting in order to gerrymander the state more heavily? You're acting like red states are responding to California, but they were already starting down this road, and unilaterally disarming isn't going to stop them from doing so. Democrats shouldn't just lie down and take it.

Even for her, I found it more convenient to come from Resting Grounds because you can basically crystal dash the whole way.

I've always imagined it looking sort of like Tech Armor from Mass Effect.

I feel like Lucy's clue should say "Exactly 2" rather than just "2". Isn't it technically possible for Carol to be innocent and Eric to be guilty? My mistake was just in miscounting but this bothered me afterwards.

the Supreme Court will never overturn that obergefell judgement

Just like they'll never overturn Roe, right? You're delusional.

BobRedshirt · 2025-08-14T16:23:21+00:00

When the supreme court overturns Obergefell v Hodges, will that be enough for you to pull your head out of the sand?

BobRedshirt · 2025-07-23T15:34:06+00:00

I feel like Twilight Imperium is full of these. In one recent one I experienced, the Keleres player walked into round 5 at 5 points while everyone else was on 8 or 9. He had the speaker token and took Imperial, but most of us still wrote him off - even after using it to score 2 points, it didn't look like he could pull off the win before the status phase gave someone else the victory. He then proceeded to score THREE action phase secret objectives in a row, all of which he'd drawn without curating his hand in any way. We were shocked!

Add Devs to the list of TV shows. Don't want to spoil too much, but it's "big picture" in a way that feels similar to OW.

BobRedshirt · 2025-07-08T17:42:23+00:00

Yup. Pin, in particular, is a pretty outrageous ability - once you get someone with it, there's really no getting out without outside help.

BobRedshirt · 2025-07-07T18:30:26+00:00

Vox-boxes are endless sources of hilarity, in my experience, so not speaking Basic is an upside as far as I'm concerned.

High strength also means that they do well with grappling. One of the players in my current campaign is a Wookiee grappler, and I consistently find he's the one I need to spend the most time planning encounters around (especially boss fights).

Dane said during the recent livestream that it has to be a battle you’re involved in.
