@thehug0naut’s turn!

thehug0naut · October 3, 2024, 6:23am

Sorted the weird quote thing that was going on in my post. Hope it hadn’t given away anything

One point you should know, Overpower only cascades excess damage from a patroller to another valid targets, so you won’t be able to kill Calamandra and the Centaur with it

flagrantangles · October 4, 2024, 9:41pm

I can’t say I follow that, but I just opted to believe you and redid my turn. Thanks!

thehug0naut · October 7, 2024, 12:26am

I have a turn ready to go, but I’ve just realised you’ve not paid for Resist to Arrest my Treant. Until you kill Calamandra (or Silence her), all my units have Resist 1.

flagrantangles · October 9, 2024, 4:20pm

I updated my turn but forgot to tell you so now I’m letting you know!

No Feral Strike for me, but him trading sets back his board and lets me get my rune generation up and running. The runaway economy is real

flagrantangles · October 9, 2024, 9:41pm

Yeah, it feels completely unwinnable to me. Of course, what I really mean by that is that I do not think I am actually capable of defeating you playing green while I play blue. I’m fully convinced that other people can do so.

Certainly Blue as P2 seems pretty weak vs Green P1. Calamandra generates a lot of early pressure that Blue can’t deal with easily.

Should be set up for the kill here. Taking away Tech I is pretty important to limiting Garrisons. I have to leave Centaur vulnerable to new Musketeer but I can leave both BAs safe if I hold back one rune. Giant Pandas seem obvious to tech in to maximise my rune count.
