I am really curious to see how your board looks. I don't suppose we could get pictures of the board each month, could we (with close ups of each continents)? If you don't have earlier pictures, then just going forward?It just seems like letting cities go forsaken is going to make moving around, connecting, innoculating, and the like extremely difficult, and by having so few active cards in the infection deck and letting the infection rate shoot up to 5, your remaining cities are going to get bum-rushed by Hollow Men.
[o]Of course this becomes less of a problem when Bunkers show up... I don't remember when those become a thing, but I think you should have them at this point.[/o]
Also, I wonder if/how
[o]you're getting to the labs. If Buenos Aires/Johannesburg burn, then those labs are unreachable unless you repopulate.[/o]
Also, the other have pointed out some of this, but... (December spoilers below)
[o]Lack of Red Cards isn't going to be the only problem in December. If Johannesburg is Forsaken and there isn't a permanent supply center there, the game is unwinnable. They'd have to tank Early December, repopulate with their upgrade points, and put everything on Late December.[/o]
But yeah, in summary (general spoilers below, including December Spoilers)
[o]The Forsake City rules goof definitely swung things in your favor quite a bit, and I'm convinced you have to be goofing somewhere else too, because it seems like letting all the cities burn is going to affect you quite a bit more than just in the score category. Losing mobility, searches, the ability to connect, upgrade points, labs, and most importantly, Johannesburg seems like it would just cripple you entirely.[/o]
