I mostly have hasted units in hand, so let’s get Zane and Mad Man down, and I can put more of a patrol down next turn, ready to cover Zane and set up for Sharks if I feel like it.

I would like to play mox, but pillage is a real concern. Better to not allow it and stack up some defence. Geiger in technician for much the same reason, and I probably will want to play two things if he dies.

I could maxband Zane to get rid of the Argonaut, but that seems a little premature. The alternative is to get Ogre down, and do something big next turn. I’m more comfortable with that, even if it means attacking into Battle Suits or the like.
Putting Mad Man in Squad Leader would stop Nullcraft allowing a Zane kill, but Forgotten Fighter would be a problem, so it goes in Scavenger.
There’s a line where I clear their board, but I’m left with only geiger and nullcraft and like… that’s not very threatening. They can easily just play vandy and taxman and dare me to make a move. I think walling up is a bit stronger than going on the offensive. It should give me space to build tech 2 reasonably safely, I think.
Dear players, please speed up this match as two turns in 6 days is not exactly what we’re hoping for. Also this is the only undecided match left from the current round…

Surprise Attack (2), Ogre and Sharks trade with Fading Argonaut and Geiger. Zane hits midband, so I can patrol, or steal gold from the Plexus and accept Nullcraft killing Zane (3). Worker (1/2), then Nautical Dog or Bombaster to patrol (0).
Maxband Zane (2), shove Argonaut, Ogre kills Geiger, Zane kills Plexus (3), patrol with Bombaster (1), worker (0).
I prefer the latter here: it keeps the Surprise Attacks concealed, is more likely to keep Zane alive, and bypasses the Argonaut instead of killing it, so I can hit better targets and get it closer to fading away.
Thanks for letting the tournament proceed while it saddens me to stress you with the progress. @Bryce_The_Rice with you bring afk I’ll pick the round with you having a bye as the next one.
