I too run 2 toons on a daily basis when I do mints and factories. As far as the mints are concerned, I like to run 2 because that pretty much guarantees ME that no matter what happens (whether it be lower laff, gag challenged toons, etc) I will be able to finish the run.

However, I really don't see how running 2 toons in a VP or CFO will provide any insurance at all. The major factor here is that we do not control how the elevator is split for the cog battles. So unless both your/my toons are sided on together for the cog rounds, they really cant help each other if one or the other is in trouble.

Many that have posted on this thread have and still run 2 toons all the time. Most of us just don't do this on CCG runs unless its for the purpose of filling a very short elevator to save a run.

I will say that I really don't have much of an issue with running 2 toons in VP as I do in the CFO. In the VP pie fight, a good stunner can more than make up for the jumping toon with their ability to keep the VP stunned. This is NOT the case with the CFO. I believe the CFO crane battle (once its past the initial stun and safe pounding) requires volumes more attention from each toon. The pace is fast and furious and each CFO fight is a bit different. You may have one where you can take him out without many goons swarming, then again, the very next time you can't stay on a crane long enough to throw a goon. The bottom line is.... its impossible for one toon operator to devote 100% effort when they are playing both toons in a boss fight.

I've done my share to 2 toon/ 1 operator CFO battles (outside of CCG), and not all of them have been pretty.

YES!!! Tyvm My sentiments exactly... I would be very happy to run with you and have others in the same boat that would like to as well. The problem that ppl r having to my knowledge is that if I am running two toons then takes the place of another PERSON that would be able to get a win in through CCG. Now, if we look at this in a different way for just a sec, if we look at it as toons,not ppl, then Sallyannslewfoot and Twinkletoes both have just as much right as any other toon to be there. lol !! And in answer to your question, yes of course I could run one toon on a CCG run but the fact of the matter is my second toon is what I call insurance. There have been countless times that I have lost (mostly VP) due to other small toons error. That is ok, it is part of the game! BUT, I have found we have a better chance of winning etc. if I do bring her along. As far as the Boss fight I think that if a TOON helps get u through a cog fight then they deserve to be in the boss fight as well. Now, I may be off my rocker, but I really dont see how this cannot somehow be worked out. But until it is I will not be attending CCG runs (I am not a member but would go with sf's that r). I will go with sf's and thankfully can do 4 man CFO's and small VP's as well so np there. My prob at this point is the general anger that has been portrayed by others toward this subject. There r very strong feelings evidently regarding two toons in boss fights and yours is the first I have seen in a positive light. BUT it is because you run two toons!!! lol wooohooooo!!!! So ty ty ty I was very glad to see ur post and relieved that I am not the only one in "running two toons land".
