A badly timed sniper buy along with a very well timed attack by my opponent does me in. P2 wins on foundry! Would like thoughts on the opening...I thought the trade was worth it for me, though in retrospect losing the sniper cut off any chance for me to rush.

Interesting opening indeed. Having the runner scout so you know you don't need to boost the sniper was beautiful. But if it was worth it or not is tricky. If counting pure material its pretty equal at beginning of turn 7.

But the positioning of the units matter as well. You have sacrificed your units guarding top and bottom and have all your units in the middle while his are spread out on the map. I think you are forced to attack here as that is the only way to take advantage of your concentrated force.

Instinctively I would leave the runner on turn 5 and create a soldier to reinforce with. The goal would then be to threaten the wit space so aggressively that he has no chance to counter top.
