I think that sounds like a sensible plan. One thing to share: On my turn, unless things have gone to hell somewhere and needs all hands, I intend to finish my turn in Baghdad. That's in the hopes that I'll draw a Red card, in which case on the Scientist's next turn, they could cure both Yellow and Red.
PANDEMIC
Unless the Dispatcher has a better plan, I'll just go the middle east and kill zombies.
PANDEMIC
Sounds good to me.
PANDEMIC
The Medic takes a station to station flight to Baghdad and then organizes dozens of anti-zombie squads to clear out the city. Then he hitches a ride in the back of a Toyota Hilux and does the same thing in Tehran.
After that he draws Hong Kong (Red) and Osaka (Red). Meanwhile yellow plague re-emerges in Mexico City and the blue plague spreads even more in Atlanta.
The situation:
PANDEMIC
I am well equipped to wallop the red death if we cure it. Of course, everything will probably have changed by then.
I'm also starting to get scared every turn. That next epidemic is coming soon.
PANDEMIC
Since the Researcher and I need to stay where we are, I am assuming we want the Dispatcher to treat at least one hotspot and bring the Medic to them at some point on their turn, correct?
PANDEMIC
I don't think there's any way to defuse both Seoul and Ho Chi Minh City, so I think defusing Ho Chi Minh City takes priority since it's connected to more stuff.
If the Dispatcher thinks it's a good idea, she could take a cube off of Ho Chi Minh City with 3 actions and move the Medic to Baghdad which would give the Medic good access to Central Asia, North America and East Asia to deal with hot spots.
PANDEMIC
That seems like as good an idea as any, unless one of you wants this Seoul card.
Also, if the Researcher passes a non-Khartoum card, she can then use it as a go-anywhere flight.
Sorry, that should say, "one of you wants this Cairo card"
PANDEMIC
I think it'd be better to move the Medic to Shanghai (before you move) than to Baghdad. They're best placed in Asia, which contains our two remaining hotspots. Plus, with the Medic's draw, it's looking less likely that I'll be able to pass a Red card to the Scientist. They may need to grab one from the Medic, which means getting back to that part of the world. (If the Medic can contrive to end a turn in Hong Kong or Osaka at some point, the Dispatcher should be able to make it happen.)
PANDEMIC
Shanghai gives me the same flexibility as Baghdad so that seems like a good idea.
