@Aleph it’s kind of difficult to see
is defense the top issue right now?

having momentum markers in stock allows us to force them to play more suboptimally since we can forcibly activate jfk sided events that they play for cp

I really don’t want to leave recount open to be activated or leave it open to fuck us over on debate

regardless of anything else, I think we want to play missile gap for event this turn (not this phase)

benefits:

  • defense is (maybe) top issue so we get pretty good value
  • issue shift happens at the end of the momentum phase (after the rewards are given out)

this does give us a moderately worse debate but given nixon has been playing haymakers they are bound to have some jfk sided cards that we can dunk on by forcibly activating

so remaining turns probably look like

bishops for cp (we get a rest cube from this)
missile gap for event (we get a rest cube from this)
final action recount for cp | PREEMPT

now the question is how we use each instance of cp

I expect nixon to play a jfk sided card for cp on final phase in response to us running out of momentum by using final action recount preempted
not a super huge issue I think

the hope is that they preempt a card before then

that would be pretty stupid tho

i’m gonna say ‘let’s not use cp for advertising right now’

so either campaining or positioning

1 Like

positioning is better on final turn because they have less time to strategize around it

1 Like

think about it
we play recount for cp then put 2 cubes (3 cost) on second highest issue and one on the last issue
this forces nixon to match what we are doing or lose on issues

ok so then we make campaigning
uhhhh
idk what to do now
