Houndmaster Leo

A man's allegiance is fleeting; a dog's love is eternal. Reject man-ally society. Embrace dog. Through dog, victory.

Goals:

• Use Haste for extra actions by using nothing but actions (Activate actions) to move and/or attack with Sled Dog and Flamethrower.
• Utilize Leo's ability and have as many dog as possible.

Setup:

• Important note: Amount of dog is directly proportional to amount of card and money.
• Faustian Bargain and Emergency Cache to get more money.
• Lucky Cigarette Case to get more card.
• Lucid Dreaming finds more dogs.
• Calling in Favors to find only man-ally that benefits dog: Mitch Brown. Important: while employing Mitch doesn't break the oath against man-allys, as he is both useful and necessary to dog, do not tell dogs about him lest they feel betrayed.

Stick to the Plan's 3:

• Ever Vigilant
• Prepared for the Worst
• Whichever of of E-cache/E-ammo. Let your inner dog guide you to the imaginary bush he wants to pee truth all over.

Level 0:

• Get the level 0 weapon(s) that you form the strongest bond with. Establishing dominance early is key here.
• With +2 fists, Enchanted Blade and .45 Thompson are particularly apt for training.

Upgrade Path:

• 1: Haste and first Charisma.
• 2: Everything else in whatever order.

Optional:

• Well Prepared because Flamethrower has many fists and a wild, and Mitch Brown has 2 wild. Follow your heart.
• EotE_Combat Training (not Combat Training) is good and well insulated behind dog.
• Any other big gun or notbig gun can be swapped in place of flamethrower.
• Cyclopean Hammer or Sledgehammer would also be funny and/or practical. Unknown if Haste can grant free use of the attack on Sledgehammer. Seems doubtful.
• Leo also has enough brain to make Enchant Weapon worthwhile as well.
• The Lone Wolf Controversy. Scholars are presently unable to answer the question, "does Lone Wolf count as a dog?" They do confirm that it can generate one potential dog per turn, or at least a third to a half of one. But that's only if you are a dog/wolf. A lone dog/wolf. Further research is required.

Miscellaneous Notes:

• Maintaining a clear Alpha male is vital to the pack's survival.
• No matter how tempting they might be, Venturers are not dog. Remember your oath.
• It's probably a rule that if you manage to get all 6 dog and 2 man in play at the same time, you automatically win the scenario.
• If it isn't, it should be.
