ITS12 is finally here! Nimlothaule and I decided to try out one of the new missions that caught our eye: mindwipe! It seemed like a really unique and fun spin on looting and sabotaging and I have a Tunguska army just waiting to see play, so why not?

Lots of things to do, a real reason to bring actual hackers and a surprising amount of balance when it comes to when you can score and not knowing which server has the AI. Makes for a fun back and forth throughout the game since you can't destroy servers on the first game round. 9/10- Took away a point because I couldn't make Mary my uberhacker!
Up to this point @OrphanOfToast have been playing infinity as if Repeaters extended a hackers ZoC of control, but this is incorrect. There is a point in the game where he decides to tank some hacking to dodge his uberhacker out of a mad trap attack. Now that I am grieved by a loss to him, I've decided to post my revenge to the rules forums: https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/does-boost-make-a-dodge-aro-legal.38638/ (We do actually think this is an interesting rules question)
