I don't see where they can go from there.
Here's a photo. I actually moved the sniper instead of spawning another runner at the end of P3 turn but, irrelevant.

Do you only use one medic or will you ultimately have one each?

Think boosted soldiers are a must to defend the wit space otherwise they will eat you up with snipers. So I have always been using double medics.

If going for double medics, I still kind of like the play to ignore the wit space and spawn a medic. You will loose one wit, but the other option for P4 to move the medic to boost your sniper and then move it again to boost his units, that will cost 2 wits. Thoughts?

For candy core, we rarely add a second medic. If its a game where both teams are taking their time setting up, we will occasionally add a second medic. On Blitz, we always add the second medic on the first turn. Machination, never. I feel the 2 wits spent moving the medic are worth it since you effectively kill that rush by doing so. Also, we don't immediately move the medic back into position. We'll leave him there and heal whatever units are in the neighborhood and then move him back when the time is right and the cost is not detrimental.
