I like the Osaka plan.

move out and draw fire

Thanks for the signal boost, dcp! (and also thanks for catching my wrong word...spellcheck has some weaknesses).

(Also, hi, this is Raq...it turns out all other social media sites except this one suck, so I thought I'd come check out the revamped b.org)

OK, then:

Play Airlift to move to San Francisco

Treat the ENTIRE CITY AT ONCE

double move to Osaka

Build a research station using many American dollars.

The medic hitches a ride on a C-17 Globemaster to San Francisco where he cures all the disease. Then he hitches a ride on a cargo ship to Tokyo and takes one of those awesome Japanese trains to Osaka where he knows a guy who can arrange for a research station overnight as long as you don't ask any questions.

Then he draws Sydney (Red) and Buenos Aires (Yellow). Meanwhile, the Blue Fever spreads in Chicago getting serious, but not critical. However, things become critical in Algiers where Zombies are poised to overrun the city.

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

PANDEMIC

Ok!

Get our hands on the Researcher's Karachi (not a euphemism)
Double move to Osaka
Bliss out to the Cure

Thing, done!

The QS does the thing and cures the Zombie plague.

Then she draws Istanbul (Black) and Beijing (Red).

Meanwhile, zombies continue to spread in Baghdad, putting the city on the brink, and the Blue Fever makes a comeback in San Francisco.

PANDEMIC

So, what should I do after curing blue?

I could just cure Paris and Algiers or I could build somewhere along the Istanbul-Mumbai corridor to help others get in and out of there. If I build on Baghdad or Mumbai, I could cure them.

Another option would be to head to Manila to hand off my Manila card to either the Researcher or Medic.

Paris and Algiers seems best for now...pity we don't have a Dispatcher this time.

Algiers popped off last round, so it's safe at least until the next infection. (I think we'd have time for the Medic to claim the Researcher's Seoul and take out Algiers too.) Mumbai could go at any point though.

We of the quarante like the idea of you popping over to Mumbai for buildage and curation. I think that'd mean every current danger point on the map would be no more than two moves from a research station.
