Screening and Turns

  Well, its not that type of screening, but yeah.  Me and the Mrs. are going to start watching our way through all things Babylon 5.  We'll start with the Gathering and then head on through the B5 Series.  I'll try to do one or two of these a week and eventually we'll have the whole thing done.  She's never seen a single episode, so this should be interesting.

Another Day of the Lunch Game

Everyone's hit 10+ influence... right now the playing field looks like this:

Starting on the top left and moving clock wise:  

Gambler Londo has the King Arthur and Lord Refa in his Inner Circle, no agenda, a Garrison fleet and 10 influence.  There's been a little antagonism (betrayal??) with the Minbari... but other than that he's doing well

After that, Delenn is farming up her Vorlon marks (4) and raisin Vorlon influence (8).  She's (he's) lost a picket fleet to an intrigue attack by the Centauri, but has a good start to building the Grey Council force needed to contend in Diplo/Intrigue conflicts.  He's also at 10 influence

Next is me (G'kar) with 12 influence (I just won Show the Colors) and 14 to apply (Independent Support).  Right now I've got Defense in Depth in play, along with Elizabeth Trent in my Inner Circle and Galen as a supporting Character (I'm running a 25 card Legacy side deck).  For security I've got a Utility Fleet and Galen's ship,,, but that military looks pretty weak compared to the final member

Last is Sheridan with 11 influence, but also Build Infrastructure, 17 military (Fleet of the Line and Second Battle Fleet), and Franklin in his Inner Circle.  He also has a Trade Pact with the Minbari... so he's the big beat stick right now.

All tensions are as starting and all unrest is one, except Centauri (which is two, thanks Refa).

It's still a learning game, but the beauty of B5 is that getting the fundamentals down goes very quickly.  Both of the new players have made some minor mistakes, but that's the nature of the game...
