GG that adept a turn earlier (I know, only draw 2 out of 12) might have made a difference, but well… this version of nightmare is ultra consistent, not much you could do about it with this starting split it seemed

Are you up for another one as P1?

Dreamfire · September 12, 2023, 9:37pm

GG WP!

I actually had ~50% to draw a tech 2 on my T4 (2 out of 7), but alas, it was not to be… And yeah, I definitely haven’t found a way to stall well enough as P2.

Bryce_The_Rice · September 12, 2023, 9:46pm

you never paid for that lizard?

zango · September 12, 2023, 10:15pm

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?

Dreamfire · September 12, 2023, 10:16pm

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

zango · September 12, 2023, 10:18pm

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

@Zango’s turn!

zango · September 12, 2023, 10:33pm

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.
I’ll do my next turn tomorrow. Gd n8

zango · September 13, 2023, 9:28am

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.

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
