Re: Game 9: SA
No, there's no battle going on now, choose a place for B2 to move also.

Re: Game 9: SA
The map for reminder:
Turn 8:
Kaunisto: Mars Earth Venus Uranus Europa Moon
K2 Triton
K3 Jupiter
CP/MP: 14/6
Bec: Titan Callisto Saturn
B1 Ganymede
B2 1d Io
CP/MP: 9/2
Again you should move both ships, preferably to red places (or ones I hold). Each of your ships can currently move to Mars (my), Jupiter (will be my if you don't move there), Europa (my) or the ones you hold or will hold next turn (Io, Ganymede, Callisto, Saturn, Titan) but it's likely not smart to move on those.
(I have to consider changing rules so that if a place that was controlled by one side at start of a battle, it would be their as long as battle lasts - now I'm counting such as non-owned.)
Btw I made a mistake earlier, giving myself K3 turn earlier than I should've. I'll try to see you'll get B3 a turn early too (not yet).

Re: Game 9: SA
Turn 9:
Kaunisto: Mars Earth Venus Triton Uranus Moon
K2 Neptune
K3 Saturn
Create K4 on Mars
CP/MP: 12/4
Bec: Titan Ganymede Callisto Io
B1 Jupiter
B2 d1 Europa
CP/MP: 12/3
Now you're in difficult position, I'm not quite sure what I'd do in your place. I created K4 on Mars and that blocks you from Mars-Mercury area; at the same time K2 and K3 make it risky for you to hold Titan or take back Saturn.
You'll need to keep one ship out of battles, but at the same time you now hardly have option to avoid battle (I hold more planets so I'll just get more ships faster and you'll be in further disadvantage).
Good news is that you can now build third ship (one turn early, because I made mine so by mistake).
I suggest you move both B1 and B2 to Mars, Saturn or Titan (allowing you either take one or start a battle likely 2-on-1).
Choose also place to create B3 at, one of the places you hold: Titan, Ganymede, Callisto, Io. (Note that if you create ship on Titan, don't move both B1 and B2 there unless you want to fight 3-on-1 - that might be a good move, but I'd leave one ship out of battle if I were you.)

Re: Game 9: SA
Now we have some action...
Turn 10:
Kaunisto: Mars Earth Venus Neptune Triton Uranus Moon
K2 Uranus
K3 Titan
K4 -
CP/MP: 15/8
Bec: Ganymede Callisto Jupiter Europa Io
B1 Saturn
B2 1d Saturn
Create B3 on Titan
CP/MP: 9/1
Titan:
8 
7
6
5 
4
3
2
1
---A-----B-----C-----D-----E-----F-----G-----H
1/3 K3
2/3 B3
Now B3 is in battle, so for that you choose grid move and shot.
Your main tactical question is do you send one or both of other ships to Titan to join that battle.
My K2 is in Uranus; if you send one or both ships there, there's the chance I'm moving it to join Titan battle or to take Saturn and you'd sneak past me to take Neptune and Triton... (of course I wouldn't play so stupid to give you that - unless I'm counting on you not to try...)
Note that I have points to create K5 and the logical places to put it are Mars and Uranus. My K4 can now move to take your Jupiter and it's moons, unless you send at least one ship back...
You just don't have enough ships; you need to either slip past me (moving to Mars or Uranus just as I move from there) or try destroying my ships with 2/3-on-1 to cut me down and get some areas.
You're in so bad position, I guess the best you can do right now is unexpected. Just move B1 & B2 to other planet/moon (or keep them at Saturn; at this point usable move) and move and shot on B3 in Titan battle.
