Sacrificial lambs, big flocking deal.
By Terrill
Ok, the nearly sick joke over, be sure to read the previous article before this one as I am about to contradict everything I just wrote.
A mission can be done in 2 waves during the same turn, preferably with 2 teams or crews able to do the mission each. If not, use an away team or crew made up of sacrificial lambs to by pass the dilemmas and follow up with the set than can solve the mission.
The key here is to make the poor suckers appear that they can do the mission or your opponent might not bother with the dilemmas and your sacrificial lambs will be as effective as a stack of veal. This means that the little sheep must be an appropriate number and you will need to avoid the random slips like "well I might as well get a few dilemmas out of the way" or the ever popular "I can't solve the mission (so I thought you might just like me enough to put a few dilemmas underneath my mission anyway)".
Pucker up, bend over.
Don't make it a habit either. Your opponent might just get wise to your deception and take the chance on you not being able to solve the mission (which of course you can't).
