Flash Point PBF game 5

Initial explosions: (4, 4), (4, 8), (1, 4).
Initial PoI: (3, 1), (4, 2), (3, 6)
Initial hazmat: (2, 4), (3, 8), (3, 4).

Who’s in, colours and initial roles, and thoughts on play order?

I have a thought about the Fire Captain and PBF: how about if other players can simply take the free move AP in advance (if any are left)? That way we can keep the game flowing.

Initial thoughts:
If we do go for a chop, I think row 4 as before. We might justify a column 6 later, but not yet. Ambulance on the west side.
Getting to (1, 4-5) is the hardest thing I see here. But not super urgent.

I’m in, agree that Fire Captain works better just donating APs. I’ll give them a try.

I could see the Generalist go in the W side and move to 4,2 to reveal those two PoIs and then extinguish 4,3.

Then someone on the E side to chop a hole and then extinguish 4,8, followed by the CIFS to go in and extinguish the rest of the fire in there.

But that is just one idea.

I would like to be Green. And would like to try CIFS if no one else desperately wants it.

I might try the Hazmat Technician, if that will work well with the other roles selected.

“I don’t care if they are on fire, we’re going to pull the data off these servers!”

(Sorry, I know CAFS is basically unmemorable. And nothing in the game even tells you it stands for Compressed Air Foam System .)

I knew it didn’t quite sound right, but I was too lazy to check the previous game’s thread to find the correct name. :slight_smile:

@RossM, @DJCT, are you interested? Any thoughts on roles?

Always happy to generalise

Happy to play!

Can start off in the fire truck again, or try the imaging specialist?

Oh, Orange for me by the way.

OK we’re getting there.

  • Roles for DJCT and me. I’ll go Veteran but I’ll switch if wanted.
  • Colours for Kat, RossM, DJCT and me (red yellow blue white available).
  • Starting positions for everyone.
  • FIre Engine and Ambulance - well, I’ll put the ambulance to the west, I think that’s clear.
  • Play order.

I don’t see an obviously good quadrant for the fire engine at this point. I think having a Rescue Worker or Rage Specialist on the east side (for an initial chop) might be a good idea, thanks COMaestro for that one, though given the damage cube already on the outside wall of (4, 8) it’s only 2AP for anyone to make a hole there and another role might be more useful.

So for example I might start there as Veteran, chop and extinguish through the hole, then give bonus AP as the rest of Team East streams past me.

I will:

  • Stick with yellow
  • Join you in starting on 4,8
  • Go after other east crew in the hope that someone can put out some fires first and I can get closer to the hazmat spots.

I think I can see a point for at least one go as engine operator in the east. Then I might change! Colour red if available

OK, if I make the order (DJCT, me, Kat) in the east, we can get a spray, then chop (and extinguish close up if needed), then Kat goes in.

  • RossM any preference between blue and white?
  • Lordof1, RossM, COMaestro, any preference about order of play?

Blue. Happy to be last

I’ll go second to last as my AP power is more important really than me moving

I will start in the West and go first, so I can extinguish the fire next to the PoI, if that sounds good?

OK, if this looks good we’re ready to go.
