Thoughts
I think my tech 3 is better than his, but is it enough against bugblatters and commanders? I’ll probably have to tech the second mantis, but let’s try DP first and try to get the almost guaranteed guarg next turn first.
post DP: Tempting to stay at tech2, but I’ll stick to the plan
patrol choice is killing me. I have to look out for CBs and kidnapping and one way or the other my patrol looks just plain dumb if he has the other thing at the ready.
