Calling Mr. Hazlett, instead of making spurious comments about my dedication and love for the human race, why not put in a bid to help your cause as a famed Planetologist.

I thought I was the planetologist. Damn, I wasn't that late in the bidding.

Besides, I was promised Starbuck would reveal her ass in the other thread.

Sorry, my bad.

Only if I'm low on rent.

It has, we're waiting on the Michael to send out a new logfile and place his bid for the last card. It's a long weekend here in British Columbia so he may be out of town.

Hope you're piling up all that lovely Spice for me to grab at the start of my next logfile. *Rubs hands gleefully*

So we're off!

Who's who starting at the top of the map and going counter clockwise:

Atreides:
Dr_Mabuse

Emperor: MattDP

Harkonnen: mjl1783

Bene Gesserits: lollocaust

The Fremen:
Not Sure

The Guild (and google spreadsheet master): Southerman

Turn 1



Spice Blow:
6- Oh Gap

Bidding:
A bit slow going as we iron out our system, as we do this via email and VASSAL. It should move quicker next turn (crossing fingers).

Atreides: 1 card

Emperor: 2 cards

Harkkonen: 1 card (+1 more due to ability)

Bene Gesserits: 1 card

The Fremen: 1 card

The Guild: 0 cards (but will have a shitload of money comes next bidding round)

Movement:


More or less standard openers:
Fremen gathers 5 units plus 1 Fedaykin and hit the spice blow.

The Guild (being new to world of Dune) moves 10 members of the Guild into Habbanya Ridge Seitch referred to by some as "the Emperor's seitch".

The Atreides play conservatively and ship 2 units to Arakeen (accompanied by a representative of the Bene Gesserits).

The Emperor being a benevolent and learned leader ships 7 units and 3 Sardaukar into the Guild occupied Suek's Seitch, not in malice but as a reminder to all that mistakes (innocent though may they be) are costly.

The brash Harkonnen drop 6 units into Carthag (accompanied by a representative of the Bene Gesserits). They then makes a move on the spice in Fremen occupied Oh Gap with 8 units.

Battles:

Fremen vs Harkonnen at Oh Gap
Harkonnen plays: 2 tokens dialed, Feyd Rautha (6), Maula Pistol (proj.)
Fremen plays: 5 tokens dialed, Cheap Heroine card
Result: Harkonnen wins 8-5


Guild vs The Emperor at Suek's Sietch
Emperor plays: six tokens dialed, Capt. Arasham (5), Kulon (worthless)
Guild plays: 5 tokens dialed, Staban Tuek (5), Slip-Tip (proj.)
Slip-tip kills Capt. Arasham

Result: Guild wins 10-6
