So we now have this new template for flipped missions. I like the possibilities, but at its core I don't see the difference between Luna/Mars and Advanced Battle Simulation besides the switch in card titles (which doesn't seem relevant at the moment). I guess one is a HQ, but that could have been single-sided and just read: If command a complete mission,... [side 2].

I suppose I would have expected the flipped sides to each have something the other side could not do. You can do everything on side 1 when you are on side 2.

Not quite everything. Once you flip to side 2, you lose the ability to play Homicidal Expedient

And if you want 48 V 4, you better have 48 V 25.

There were other cards pitched that required you to “command Luna”. But they got cut. We thought losing the use of your Amanda was enough of a price to pay for flipping to Mars.

(One of the cards that got cut was a cost reducer that I pitched because I forgot that The New Resistance exists.)

You hate this set so far so just be glad we wasted a card slot on this instead of making a 27th card that you’d have also hated.

Thank you for designing less cards. Hopefully you will design less cards in the future. :P
