[RP/MM] Turn 40 CDS vs TH - Columbus DP4917 *COMPLETED*

[Holt]

The space around Columbus was no stranger to massive units moving through, but this time it was different, these ships belonged to mighty Diamond Sharks.

"All commands show green Galaxy Commander."

"Excellent launch the operation against the Terrans and their allies."

"Radar showing vessels preparing to leave the system, calculating if we can intercept."

(Just an FYI... Columbus, despite its coloring, is a Blood Spirit holding now.  This was never corrected.)

[When was it taken? Because i havent seen it posted anywhere, ran intel last turn not showing any BS forces only defenders are DC.]

(You'll have to ask Helm, or Dave, but we've used the facilities there to build units, and we've operated under the assumption that it was ours since the game restarted.)

[Its been defended by DC troops since turn 31, nothing on the CBT board mentions an attack on Columbus. Intel from Dave shows it being held by the TH/DC.]

I'm not aware of the Blood Spirits ever taking over Columbus, and a quick review of the old boards doesn't reveal any threads for this system. I think its safe to say that this was a misunderstanding relating to the old Deep Periphery map, or its a case of something from pre-turn 20 not making it into the "modern" game.

Either way, Columbus has hosted a large TH and DC garrison for many turns recently, going back to prior to when I took over the game, so I think its safe to say that its coloring on the map is accurate.

Having said that, nothing you build there will be retconned, since I assume it was an honest misunderstanding and/or a mixup when when DP map was made back in turn 20-something.

(Oh, well.  Thanks a lot, Helm.  Does this mean we're to subtract 1 SY and 1 MF, since we moved them offworld once we pulled out of the DC?)

They were still intransit.
Sooo we havent actually added them. Its more like adding 1 and 1 back to our sheet as we took them off for transit.

DC Init: [Leaving the hex per orders, escorting the TH infrastructure; if Dave remembered out talk froma few turns back.]

All DC forces leave the hex as the Sharks move in, Dave did you dismantle the infrastructure?

The infra is long gone. A 1 FP force of Manei Domini commandos stay behind to cause mischief for the Clans.

Sent you a PM on that subject. Want me to just roll this out for both sides?

[Dave Baughman]

I need to get some info from a followup request I sent on this before we can proceed as it will impact the exact details of the fight, so please stand by for the moment.
