If I fetch a tiger right now, it’ll just be disabled right off the bat. Tiny Basilisk won’t get much value either, and teching up is useless until my next reshuffle. So I’ll just kill some stuff and float enough to tech up + fetch a tiger next turn.

Feral Strike? We’ll have to block that on the next go since I’m gambling that it’s not in the next hand. I chose Building Inspector over Traffic Director because I want to make going to Tech III very expensive.

I did tax the Tech III but it didn’t stop him building it. We’re amassing plenty of steam. I think it’s time to drop the Drill Sergeants into the mix.

Alrighty, we’re picking up steam and I think we’re gonna be able to close this out if I can keep him off Tech III. My air hammers should be quite potent.
I’ve lost too many games to Calamandra to ignore my need for a Tower! Between her stealth ability and the tigers she can summon, it doesn’t generally feel optional to me. That said, I did end up with a nice turn to build it because of the Cadet in hand.
I’ve also always wanted to see the Tiger trick in action. It sounds so devastating and I think if I were going for a different plan it might have been worse, but Garrisons reduce the problem of bloat if they can take effect for more than a turn.
You’re up for the next one and I think I’m going to try for [Bashing]/Fire/Peace.

In hindsight, Fargo isn’t a great Two Step partner (and Mox isn’t as good as I thought it was, once you read the fine print on indestructible…). Still, I’m getting good trades here.
