Don’t put a robot in a fighter (red) room, even if you put a 6 in it, it will decrease to an almost useless 3. I find it better to put it in resarch or energy. Even +2 energy can help, I find it wasteful to remove a robot when not all pips are used.
Maybe in a multi-box fighter jet room. But Washington was a tough fight until I made better use of robots.
Now lets start the campaign. It is kind of an addictive system. Everything works so well together, amazing.
