Thanks Bryce!

Seems correct about the lizzo in t5, planned for it but forgot to write it down, so no vandy possible in my turn 6. Do you want to replay that old state or do we just continue game 5?

70

I’ve already checked your teched cards and such, so not really. And it’s only a casual game anyway :wink:

Ah no, it’s fine. I wrote skel for 1g but instead put the lizzo in play. But yeah, either way… thanks!

72

I think Bryce is talking about this turn.

73

Yeah, well, embarrassing…

Now let’s get the next round started, GL & HF

@Zango’s turn!

75

Okay
No float in t5 means the exact same t6 minus vandy, which probably wouldn’t have changed your t6.
My t7 then means fencer trades rook instead of breaking tower, thief trading flagbearer and still base break with the rest of my team. Gives me a better feeling especially after not thinking about midband rook. :man_facepalming:
I’ll do my next turn tomorrow. Gd n8

Luckily I had the only two cards in my second that allowed the revenge kill after my blunder, but deciding my tech choices was tough.
Against maxband rook in t3 the game would already have been over, obviously.

It starts to get… interesting…

I’ll probably have to reduce my playing speed a bit the next days, but at least one turn per day should be possible.

this is… uarg… safe attacking and AS is a setup I really don’t like. his units will tend to survive whatever I put into the patrol and his swelling board will wipe me out. also Garth is so ultra unsecure. hook + fencer or sa + fencer and he is history, again with him not even taking real damage

This could very well be a trap, but if it leaves Zango with nothing but midVandy on the board, it’s fine.

I forgot to mark my tech 2 choice, it’s finesse, obviously… I suppose that was expected and doesn’t change your turn, right?

I’m putting him on the following tech choices:
fencer+birds
fencer+ SPartner/twins
Maestro+MM
Guide + MM/Maestro/(two-step)
He also has three cards from his starter deck left besides AS and safe attacking. Snapback will be included for sure. I deem it highly unlikely that the other two are SA & hook. At least one of them is going to have been workered.

best patrol for no combat trick (~7% probability for him to have this hand, not considering MM): Garth scav, skel techn so that rook can’t walk past patrol after birds kill skel
for SA/two-step/Guide (37%-82% depending on how many of these are left in his deck plus MM): skel scav, garth technician
for fencer/snapback (~64% plus MM): skel technician, fencer instead of Garth scavenger

uargs…

so I wasn’t lucky… really would have loved to draw one of my two hasters from that skeleton in order to kill grave. now my fetched guide is going to get killed for sure, at least sworded, more likely killed by pumped birds. So it’s no attack with fencers for me as I don’t want to make it too easy for him to get rid of my haste. Garth has done his most relevant duty, but maybe he even survives.
