Most of what you say sounds right except for one thing: unlike in seasons 1 & 2, in Season 0 your funding never drops below 1! So you always get at least one event card!
I will also say we had a lot of games that came down to the last round or even the last turn. All these people on the forums who were talking about amassing their teams so easily/quickly or having hardly any surveillance, I have NO idea how they managed that!
Best of luck. I hope you get some good stuff happening for you in August!

Yes! You are correct; it’s right there on the back page of the debrief book. Funding does not go below 1. Which means we played July at a significant disadvantage. I’m glad you caught that for us before we played August. Thanks :)
We have managed thus far to meet the objectives each month, but at increasingly damaging costs in terms of incidents and surveillance and covers blown. And I was concerned that it was not sustainable, especially with several, of our successes being similar to what you described, coming down to the last round or even the last turn or action. A couple of times we put ourselves in what we thought was the best position possible but still needed some luck to get what we needed. We might not be so lucky next time.
We have always played with 4 characters, which I’ve also heard is harder. But we figured having 4 characters enables us to cover the board better. There are only 3 players in our team so we didn’t have to use 4 but we prefer playing that way.
The people claiming to have no difficulty amassing teams or disrupting all the trials might not be playing correctly. Maybe they are using “once per turn” actions more than once. Maybe they are inadvertently keeping cards for actions that usually require discarding them. Or maybe they are just really good or really lucky.
Now we just need to figure out which event card to keep.
I think there’s a fine line between challenging (fun) and challenging (frustrating) and for us, this season of endemic is coming very close to being on the wrong side of that line.
