The Greater Houston moves us to Texas which is not excellent because we don’t need support in the South
Does either side have momentum markers atm?
It seems like we both have 2?
I think getting support in the East and Midwest seems like a valuable first step
Seems good
You have 2
Nixon has 2
Debating whether using Recount for campaign points is acceptable now since they have the momentum to trigger the event
Probably not worth preempting
We have to reserve one of our cards for debate anyhow by the end of the turn (not phase)
Missile Gap is cool if we can hold it and use it based off Nixon’s actions
I’d like to keep Greater Houston for reasons you’ve spoken on
Puerto Rican Bishops is bad to use for CP now since even though we can counter it, we then force ourselves to play Greater Houston taking us to Texas
I’ve talked myself into either Silence or Recount for campaigning actions: state support
I kinda wanna use Houston earlier rather than later? It cuts off their event optionality, prevents the Bishop card from being used against us, and it means we could Blue a lot of the Midwest before locking it down with Silence.
If not, I think burning Recount to build CP and look to getting Media support in the Midwest would help.
Missile Gap is probably our Debate card from this turn.
Yea but I don’t wanna be in Texas
IG it’s not that expensive to go to the midwest from there
A reminder your actions are due @ 2026-03-01T01:00:00Z
Why?
What if we just lead off with Greater Houston, we don’t actually want to campaign in the South probably for this whole turn, so we may as well burn the movement costs immediately
Of the four Kennedy cards we’ve got, we wanna use Silence and Greater Houston. That leaves Missile Gap and Volunteers, and Missile Gap has the higher CP.
I could see an argument for playing it and going for Media Support to pull that into a 1st Choice issue, if we wanted to go that route?
Fair.
I guess the question is the ordering of Silence and Greater Houston? If we do Silence first, then we can take a bunch of states with 1 cube and Marissa can’t touch them…
