Hey folks,

Wasn't sure if this was a gameplay or rules question so I went here.

If one was to complete Stop First Contact at Earf, can it then be re-targeted with Assimilate Homeworld afterwards?

Ie. Play Assimilate Homeworld on Earth. Play Stop First Contact, suspends Assimilate Homeworld. Complete Stop First Contact. Download objective, which would be Assimilate Homeworld.

Two things are popping into my head:

1) Not entirely certain I can assimilate Earth after SFC is completed. I dont *think* there is a rule preventing that except .....

2) ..... the first Assimilate Homeworld is technically still in play, albeit suspended. Can another one be put in play at the same time as the other one?

Anywho, just checking.

Thank ya kindly.

Sigh. I REALLY gotta read the cards in full. I totally didnt see the "suspended objective completed" part.

I hang my head in shame.

Thaaaaaaaank you.

It just really reminds me why I'll never be a world class player haha

And yup, Population 9 Billion was originally what made me think of the question. It changes the result a bit (the hope was that the 2nd Assimilate Homeworld was doubled). But it makes way more sense this way :P

I mean, you can do another Assimilate Homeworld, and as long as it's in the Alpha Quadrant, it will be doubled, but you'll need to do the Counterpart shuffle (much easier with Data of Borg), but even if you do all of that you'll be at 120 points with no space mission scouted, so you'll likely still not win.

This sounds like one of those "yes it works, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea" scenarios. :wink:

Ha. No, thats fair. I figure Assimilate Homeworld, Establish Gateway (doubled), Resistance is Futile ... gets it done. Which is totally fine. That was my original plan. Then I saw pop 9 bil and turned myself around. I should just stop overthinking things :P

It Sure Does!

That deck is a few years old at this point but it's probably still playable today. Feel free to borrow from it! :cheersL:

I see Temporal Benefactor in the deck pulling Weyoun of Borg. I guess this is solely for getting Timepod Ring? Unless I am mistaken, no-one gains Weyouns skills.. right?

Timepod Ring AND Disrupted Continuum, which makes it totally worth the seed slot.

Weyoun of Borg is my benefactor because it was the only way I could get him into a winning deck for the casting achievement... :wink:
