Tactical Tuesday Week "08"
kothmann:
See the series introduction here.
<--Last Week
Sorry, no JCloisterZone file this week.
Introduction: This scenario came up during some play-testing of a variant. It was one of those mid-game decisions that has to happen quickly. I didn't have a specific theme in mind here, just thought it was an interesting situation
Configuration: Base game only (72 tiles & 7 meeples per player)
Players: Black, Pink, White (order of play as listed, alphabetical by color name).
Score: B=4, P=8, W=4
Previous Turns & Scoring: Details not recorded. Sorry. (Part of the variant made the long roads act like roads with Inns from Exp#1, which is why there is so much activity on the long road. But let's ignore that here.)
Current Decision (photo below):
Pink has now drawn a CRRF tile.
Where should they place the tile?
Should they place a meeple and if so, where?
Option A (photo below)
[ 4;-3], RFCR, meeple as knight in the city. Black & Pink each score 7 for the road.
Option B (photo below)
[ 4; 0], RFCR, no meeple. Pink scores 4 points for the football city.
Option C (photo below)
[-1; 4], CRRF, meeple as thief on the road.
Option D (photo below)
[ 2; 3], FCRR, meeple as farmer in the field not touching the city.
Option E (none of the above)
Please describe a better play in your reply.

totor66:
I like option E the most
Lol meant D, with farmer
Willem:
i've gone with option D.
That farm can be a good starting point, and should easily connect to the farm that White already has. Pink has enough meeple i think, so it could be worth it making the investment
Ker42:
Welcome back Tactical Tuesday! I second Willem's call; it's a pretty good farming opportunity. C would be my second choice though.

Any specific place? Coordinates are [right offset from start; up offset from start]. Tile orientation is by edge in order NESW.
So, you could say [1;-3] RRFC with meeple as knight in the city. Of course, this would complete the Black road, so I doubt it is what you had in mind…
If you name a place, your answer becomes “E1”, when referred to by others.
