    Troubleshooter saves the day again!

    Someone make a list of the cards on top of the deck so we know what to clean? (I'm on my phone)

  • Options
    PredaPreda Registered User regular
    Jakarta, Istambul, johannesburg, seoul, chennay, Bogotà, Atlanta, Los angeles, KInshasa, Sao Paulo, Essen, Mumbai and Santiago

    The next 3 turns are assured to pick from this group, from the fourth Epidemic could change the order again. The bolded cities are immediate outbreak threat, Kinshasa is a secondary outbreak risk, meaning that she could outbreak only if johannesburg outbreak first, but it will do it twice in that case.

    Hmm, how about clean mumbai, use mobile hospital, drive, drive to get to jakarta, airlift to johannesburg, clean? That reduces it to just santiago

    Assuming we don't get a black draw here we can eradicate it with vaccine deployment too

    I'm doing a long-overdue PC change-over because Bill Gates told me XP is no good, so it may be a couple of days (months...) before I can update this game, as the VASSAL game is saved on my old one, which was near death anyway.
    Please stand-by...

    Sorry about the holdup, chaps, I was out of the country since last week and just made it back home today.

    I'll treat Mumbai, then move two spaces to Riyadh and treat there as well.

    And also now we have 2 turns without treatment (I could rapid spread Johannesburg, but it must not get out before...).

    Question: does the medics ability fire on the airlift move?

  • Options
    PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    One option would be:
    shuttle to paris, cure black, airlift medic to chennai, move medic to bangkok, move medic to another.
    Preda move, move, move, cure yellow
    ebum has to stay in essen
    I can't do much
    kristmas moves to bangkok, shuttles to paris, gives paris
    iron moves to essen, takes essen, moves back to paris, cures blue

    Or,
    shuttle to paris, cure black, move to essen, airlift & move medic
    move, move, move, cure yellow
    ebum hands off essen, then cures (mobile hospital or switch to containment specialist to clean up london/NY?)
    I still can't do much (switch to dispatcher maybe?)
    kristmas ends in paris
    iron moves to paris, takes paris, cures black

    Couldn't I just cure black right where I am and then head to Essen for a card so I can cure blue next turn?

    Yes.
    If he ever finds himself in a city with cubes that have a cure, they get taken off immediately, even if it's not his turn or he has no more actions.

    Sure, but drawing any of: chennai, jakarta, bangkok, ho chi minh city is an instant loss. Drawing london or NY, or chicago + atlanta, or kinshasa + johannesburg puts us 1 outbreak from loss. And we're entering the possibility of the last outbreak on preda's turn I think. So we need to get the medic out there to clean stuff up

    How does Mobile Hospital interact with a cured disease, if at all?

  • Options
    PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    I don't think it changes, because it just says "remove one cube" - looks functionally the same as the containment specialist's effect

  • Options
    enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    Think the best plan is:

    1) IW cures black, flies to Paris, moves to Essen, airlift Medic to Jakarta, move Medic to Bangkok, which eliminates chain outbreaks there.
    2) Preda discards Baghdad to fly there, cures yellow (removing 5 cubes from wherever seems appropriate), shuttles to Atlanta, pass or move to Chicago
    3) I hand Essen to IW, play mobile hospital, move to London, move to New York, move to Washington/Toronto
    4) Phyphor becomes dispatcher, has either four medic moves or two medic moves + curing in Chicago and moving Preda to Atlanta, depending.
    5) Kthulu puts out fires
    6) IW moves to Paris, shuttles to Atlanta, takes Atlanta from Preda, cures blue, we win.

    ?

    Great, africa just killed us... going through the moves, but since I can't save santiago (or the next epidemic will kill us for sure in Africa) we have to hope in our 1 in little more than 2 chance of not drowing it....

    Direct Flight to Baghdad;
    Charter flight to Atlanta;
    Treat a cube there;
    Cure yellow with 3 cards and 3 cubes, also using rapid vaccine developement to treat 1 cube from Kinshasa, 1 from Johannesburg, 1 from Lagos and 2 from Karthoum (to stop instakill from epidemic there)

    With Mobile Hospital, if I fly to Santiago does it remove a cube? Technically it only says drive/ferry.

    Either way, I can get there, especially with IW drawing a blue card.

    You can still move/move/fly/cure. Preda ended up in atlanta with the card, so IW can move to paris, shuttle, take & cure, essen's not needed

    Right, that's what I meant by the last line. Just trying to figure out if I can take out an extra blue cube first.
