Harkonnen wins battle because of tie advantatge. Harkonnen keeps his cards. Atreides loses both cards. Harkonnen captures a leader from Atreides. Just remain waiting if someone plays karama to void capture. NEXT DEADLINE: Monday, 14 Dec REQUIRED RESPONSE: Karama to void leader capture. Order battles for Habannya. OPTIONAL RESPONSE: Karamas, Truthtrances and others wellcomed MASTER COMMENTS: The second battle ends in another Harkonnen victory, just leaving one token alive to assure control of the Sietch. The wise use of Truthtrance by Guild, has allowed Nefud to use the right weapon to kill the Atreides leader, who, even being a worthless one, in this case, has meant the removal of Kwitzatch Haderach from battle. ============================================================================= COMMON INFORMATION ***************************************************************************** PLAYERS: Atreides - Geoff (G.Austin@open.ac.uk) Stephen (stephen@apollo.sysdeco.co.uk) Guild - Steve (SQINN@GAMMA.IS.TCU.EDU) Bene Gesserit - Mark (mwynne@mcs.com) Emperor - Sean (AXMMCC@sprintmail.com) Harkonnen - Brad (johnson@cig.mot.com) Fremen - Jordi (drop@arrakis.es) OBSERVERS: Roberto (liporesi@pt.dinamica.it) Mick (mick@wwa.com) Ed (kraska@gdb.org) Bill (dyer@cig.mot.com) Kolya (kolja@mailbox.riga.lv) Jason (jason.odonnell@ocom.com) Aitor (kimi@bezeroak.euskaltel.es) Elliot (EKravitz@worldnet.att.net) PLAYER DOTS: Cielago South (sector 2) - Atreides Tuek's Sietch (sector 5) - Guild Gara Kulon (sector 8) - Bene Gesserit Carthag (sector 11) - Emperor Sietch Tabr (sector 14) - Harkonnen Habbanya Ridge Sietch (sector 17) - Fremen TURN: 10 STORM LOCATION: False Wall South (sector 4) SPICE LOCATION(S): Broken Land (sector 12) - 8 spice South Mesa (sector 5) - 10 spice TREACHERY CARDS: Atreides - 2 Guild - 3 Bene Gesserit - 1 Emperor - 3 Harkonnen - 6 Fremen - 3 COEXISTENCE: BG Coexist everywhere except Carthag.

Wanna dies and Harkonnen receives 5 spice. Harkonnen keeps his cards. Harkonnen captures a leader from BG. BG plays a worthless card as Karama to void such capture. No karama is played to cancel worthless card use as karama of BG. First serious battle of the series that we will see this turn. Even Bene Gesserit tries to avoid the death of her leader by forbidding the use of poison weapon, Harkonnen oversees (without prescience) that BG was trying to induce him that she had a shield which she had not. So poor Wanna appears in the battle field unprotected and unarmed, and even she fights to the last men, she is killed by a lesser Harkonnen leader who overwhelmes BG force with all but one of his tokens fullfilled with spice. Harkonnen troops, after winning the battle, try to capture Lady Fenring but they miss by an inch. Harkonnen decides to fight first in Tuek Sietch against Atreides. Guild plays a Truthtrance and asks Atreides if he is going to use a shield. Atreides answers that he is not. Emperor passes an unknown amount of spice to Atreides. Atreides uses prescience on Harkonnen to guess which defense he will use. He forsees the use of a snooper.
