Thanks, Graven. I'll have a look at those vids.
If by damage as a lump sum, you mean that 2+ obstacles can't take a runner past staggered, then yes, we're doing it right. If you mean something else, then I'm unsure.
We're definitely group firing on obstacles, not just with assist cards.
Not sure about how to be *more* aggressive. There's not a lot of defensive things to do forget than doc wagon, covering fire,mono whip, and striker. Seems like it's more about killing quickly.
That said, the black market deck is pretty big, so we've had games where covering fire and mono whip never even made it on to the black market.
The last game we played, we got to Scene 2 with only 3 cards in the Crossfire discard, that was the fastest we've done that yet. We eventually successfully aborted, and would have won except that our Decker got double teamed and staggered on round 1 of Scene 3, and we couldn't clear of her opponents before her next turn.
I like your tip about doc wagon use! Thanks!
