My Thoughts

Bummer no Nullcraft here. I’m half inclined still to just run Oni into Fargo to avoid giving levels, as I suspect a Stewardess is probably coming, but I think it’s probably preferable to keep the threat, get a card back and keep my tech1 alive. Alternative would be to go Tink instead of suits, but I don’t think that’s actually worth.

Let’s do it, taking BS is permanent and it’s genuinely almost more significant for reducing his cadets attack than boosting mine further

My Thoughts

I think the only options here are try and tech up with Plexus + OC, knowing I’ll lose Oni to Geiger levels, or maxband and try to apply counter-pressure. I am drawing into Stewardess so counter pressure is quite possible. Could turn into a tech break. Think that’s worth waiting to tech up until next turn.

7

wrt BS: isn’t a soldier token also a soldier?? and if so - would this change your patrol choices?

8

BS specifies non-token

frozen loves stewardess, plus Oni needs to go eventually so let’s get to work. heavily considered nullcraft and stewie to kill Oni here, but I want to win the tech race. you know what… I could go for tech 1? (Previous thoughts were to do with teaching up and just swinging at Oni with neo) I keep neo and Max, block any stewardess or cadet, delay his tech 2, he will likely end up mega rich right after, able to practically skip a turn and just patrol Oni, and on my next turn I’d also be rich and just tech up and…? be rich I guess, let’s do it!! almost want to put in RnD but I figure if I reshuffle before my next tech it means Stewie is dead, at which point I can’t guarantee Max surviving. if Stewie is alive then I can tech it next turn anyway
