RESULTS: The BG Voices the Emperor to play no Projectile Weapon in the battle for Carthag, and the Atreides assists his ally by foreseeing that Princess Irulan will be leading the BG's forces. The BG are well supplied and well-armed and well-led. The Imperial troops are caught unprepared, or perhaps just unmanned by the witches' treacherous coercion. The Emperor is wiped out of Carthag, but so are all of the BG in this Pyrrhic victory. Bashar is killed, giving the BG 2 spice (offsetting the 2 spice they paid to support their troops). I'll assume that the BG will keep their cards unless they say otherwise, and the Emperor discards the Jubba Cloak. As always, these results are tentative assuming no one calls any traitors. The next battle is in Habbanya Ridge Sietch between the BG and the Emperor again. ORDERS NEEDED: Bene Gesserit - Call traitor? Discard any cards? Emperor - Call traitor?
