I think my turn 2 has to be:
1) recruit runner, see his runner.
2) move medic one hex next to spawn.
3) shield medic with soldier
4) buff runner or soldier
5) shield medic with runner.

Is there any way to defend against calmon's opening if the medic jumps over the spawn into the corner? I don't see one.

Most importantly, put your medic where Calmon put his. Second, a runner buy as p2 on turn 1 might be viable, I havent really focused on it because I prefer to build a 4 health soldier on turn 1. I sometimes dont even move it on my first turn, and deploy it defensively on my second turn, the general philosophy being to let him bring the intell to me.

If you dont have a medic over there, then you dont feel the need to block him and can defend by having the ability to kill him if he further advances.
