This post contains spoilers for Pandemic Legacy July gameplay.
..
July introduced a new ‘Search’ mechanic where you can discard cards when you’re in a research station IN a Fallen city to advance a search token to eventually ‘find’ an important person that will help with the CoDa virus.
I played with the (what I think is) optimal team combi of Researcher (I swear my games will be ten times harder without her), Quarantine Specialist (what else to deal with Fallen?), and Operations Specialist (need for those Mil Bases! Though now as I approach 6 permanent Mil Bases, I may See his use fall off though there isn’t really a better military-tagged character, pending my further evaluation)
I didn’t think I would bother with this objective, but it ended up being the first objective I completed due to nothing else better to do in the opening turns. My Epidemic #1 and #2 were spaced so far apart that I actually completed 3 objectives before hitting the 2nd Epidemic, but not the mandatory cure 3 diseases one so I had to keep playing.
I ended up ekeing out a surprisingly narrow win - the last color virus was close to running out of cubes (2 left) due to a chain outbreak, and right before my winning turn, a 3 chain outbreak of Fallen pushed the Outbreak counter to 7. Whew.
That’s 7 wins out of 7 games now (with some asterisks on Feb/Mar wins due to a rules misinterpretation, but come on,,, I wasn’t going to lose those! Haha)... wonder when my first loss will come!
