Phyphor

I'd like the warrior clones as backup again if you don't mind

Void Slayer

Buy fear-hunter hybrids and rogue clones.

Do I need to place the fear-hunter hybrids immediately?

I am going to keep western Europe unoccupied as long as I can so we can pass Cronos though there to North America.

2B. Cronos Project - Recharge the Fusion Core
Cost. 1OIL 2ORE $6m Can only be funded after Sanctioned by World Conclave. Cronos must be controlled by Africa

Warrior Clones: When resolving a battle in one of your territories, you can discard this card to gain +1Power for all rolls in one territory.

-There was some math issues with the maintenance trade, but there is enough assets involved between Africa and Europe to make a $2m 1research 2mic trade and for everyone to get what they want with mercs, troops, and research.
-Also, Asia's purchase of Ghin Researchers means there is 1 more research token on the board.
-as for attaching mercs to territories. Yes, you need to attach them as you buy them. The good news is you can attach any number of cards to territories, so you can have a territory with +3 defense if you bought all the fear hunters.

I havent looked at the drop ship deck yet, or figured out who gets what rolls for saves, but there is a very real possibility the game ends if there are too many spawns from dropship 2 or a ground push adaptation...

Phyphor

Hmm yeah we probably should have done mexico instead

Phyphor

We do have a troop there though, so even if an eastern US card is drawn europe has a 50% chance of killing at least one
