Yeah, I say get to the QS, especially given that there is nothing currently around Mumbai. Then we have lots of options for the Medic and Ops Ex. On my turn I can build a station anywhere we need and still treat something once.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'd be happy for the company. Sounds like a plan.

Alternatively, you could burn Madrid for your move rather than Seoul, which given we have the Blue cure ready to go and a research station right next door, might be a good choice.

Oooh. I like that idea. Little setback as my computer died, but hopefully I will be able to fix it soon.

Yes, I really like the idea of burning Madrid. You could either treat both Algiers and Mumbai once by doing that. Or, treat Algiers once and head straight to Hong Kong and hand off the Chennai card. Then, if you draw black, we'd be at a cure on the QS's turn.

Thanks for the link, dcp. Very interesting, and always a treat to sample Raq’s spicy brains

I have replaced my motherboard and am back in action.
The researcher will kill a cube worth of zombies in Algiers, move to Madrid, burn her Madrid card to move to Hong Kong, and hand over Chennai to the QS.
After doing this the researcher, draws Karachi (Black) and... an epidemic.
The Blue Fever hits San Francisco hard, putting it on the brink.
I should pause here in case we want to use an event card.

Since we have a couple of places on the brink, and the Medic is somewhat limited as to what they can get to in the upcoming turn, I'm inclined to use Forecast. That way we can frontload Shanghai, delay potential hits to SF and Mumbai until the Medic/QS can reach them, and/or see what else is coming up and act accordingly. Then we will have the Ops Ex turn to take care of anything leftover that we know isn't in the next few draws.

I particularly like the idea of frontloading Shanghai (if that proves possible). I feel Forecast is possibly better to play on an earlier epidemic like this one, while we're still drawing two infection cards per turn; we can set up three turns this way rather than just two.
And on another topic, Black card! I'll be set up for the Black cure as soon as I can get to a research station.
