Well, without your Tech III and the threat of Archons I can actually field some sort of patrol even without Tech II. At a glance I’m not seeing any obviously lethal options, so maybe it’s worth playing out?
I don’t know, I agree that I’m not likely to swing momentum here, but we’ve both gone for some varied choices this game, and I’m mildly curious to see how things shake out. I’d be up to play on if you are, but if you’re not fussed, no worries.
