This is pretty much what I had in mind myself. I would have gotten in on the discussion right after John's first post, but I was out all evening. Funny, here I'm actually apologizing for a night out with my wife and friends? John, I wasn't trying to imply that I didn't like Egos - I actually put more of an onus on Package in my post, but the opening of Egos is hell and just about insures repeadted replays of the end of Package and the entirety fo Landing. To me placing a PB at the start of Egos and making the first troopers inactive is perfect, and it has the added benefit of making the start of Egos a bit more survivable in the first place. It will certainly change initial strategy - unless you want to make that PB a use once PB (please don't do that). Otherwise I really, really liked Egos, but more on that tomorrow.
