Played a game against Nellie 2 with Nekima 2 yesterday. Ended up a 5 all draw. Covert Ops i cant remember the full pool but it had secret meetup, sabotage, vendetta. I took vendetta on Phiona with my noxious neph which was dumb, nox got killed in second turn by Phiona and Nellie combo so missed 2 whole points. I got one point for sabotage and got all 4 strat points which surprised me. Oppenent got 3 strat and one each for sabotage and secret meetup.
I front loaded as much focus as i could early doors but then by turn 4 I was struggling to get through the negatives. Nek 2 is really forgiving and can help her crew scheme. I first turn grew a young into a mature and a Tot into lelutu who grew into mature turn 2. Its really easy to get the grows off early. Hayreddin did a bunch of work and the matures just gummed up the works. I think with better scheme selection and maybe the addition of the Hooded rider the next game might be batter.
Nellie 2 is a real ball ache to play against, it gets tiresome playing against crews whose whole schtick is to make your game less fun, but it is what it is.
Now going to play Nekima 2 exclusively for a while but i may crack out Nek 1 occasionally.
