Hi Tom and the rest of the Arakkis posse. Well at the moment in our environment the Atriedes and the Hark's are struggling to survive from the early wave of...
Hi, Well, without alliances, both these guys have a tough time, especially the Harkonnen. Spice is very short for them since they have to spend it on cards AND...

I hate to give away secrets, but this is one of my favorite Harkonnen ploys. It has actually worked nicely for me quite a few times... When someone is placing...
Howdy, I tend to agree with the comments so far. A and H both are aggressive spice hunters and will often ask for a piece of the action in return for...
Tom, Stephen and Michael Thanks very much for your feedback. I relayed it back to the group. And guess what last night was a turn 10 win for the "H". The games...
No activity last seven days? wsup fellas? the usual suspects are they on strike? Anyways, yet again, another turn 10 win by the H! Looks like the advice from...
Hi Christopher, It wouldn't be unusual for a board discussion to go 7 days or even a month without some conversation. Guess it depends upon availability and...
hey Tom. know this: At the moment we have been pressuring the emperor into giving the H the gom jabbar where it hurts. Especially since the newbies always get...
A BG victory win is indeed challenging, but is quite doable and oh so sweet! Keep in mind that the BG player doesn't just predict, but must also do things in...
Wild celebrations in Haarko tonight! Know this: Well the H did it again for the treble. Fortunately it was a different player who won, meaning ME, Yay!...
Christopher, Nice trick with the diversion tactic. BGs do that a lot, so why shouldn't other factions? And that traitor is worth more than 10 legions of...
Cheers Tom I knew I could count on you to comment. the "10,000..." line was class. Love it when a Dune fan cracks out the dialogue from the movie or the book. ...
Interesting questions: Hope you don't mind me jumping in with my answers.... ... Yes! One time I was very proud of... It was an email game and my ally and I...
... Do players out there allow person to use TT for future intentions? I hate it when people try to get around that house rule...My figuring is that TT is the...
When my group plays (and unfortunately, this is currently not very often), we do not allow TT to be used as a "Prescience Card." If someone asks me a question...
Hi guys, Asking a question about future intent is simply not a legal question under truth trance as it isn't a question with only a yes or no answer if the...

IMO, that's an overly restrictive definition of a "yes/no" question. In my book, any question that is capable of being answered as either yes, no, or I don't...
Please note that in the QA in the rules for dune (under Battle question 6) it states: ..."Truthtrances can be played at any time in this interaction. Please...
Christopher, I pretty much agree with Brad's comments. Truthtrances have been known to get a "yes" response from the BG regarding their prediction. Guild is an...
Tom, The WBC folder on consimworld has some fun discussion concerning the "World" in WBC. It is a bit presumptuous, but the quality play is high. As for how...
Read literally, that QA answer negates A's prescience, BG's Voice, and the TruthTrance in battle. Every time I've played, house rules have allowed the "victim"...

That's not how it reads. The choice to change battle plan elements is OTHER THAN the particular element queried. The Voice MUST be obeyed, but after that the...
the question of what should players do on turn fifteen if they cannot possible win has come up in our game. I want to outline the various issues revolving...
Well, veangence against those most responsible for your current position is good.......... Perhaps juvenile, perhaps pointless, but yet oh so ...

Christopher, I would recommend that one play more conservatively so that you CAN make one last win attempt on turn 13-15. I think this happens more because ...
Well this was the second game of the night. After the Turn 9(not seven) Guild win. I got to play emperor this time. Was actually quite a strange and sloppy...
