The second meant I was in the reverse position, having to use unit cards for recovery. And the third, that I generally never had the right card when I need it.<BR/><BR/>> On the other hand, it seemed to me he did not press into Spanish territory as it became clear that the game would end by nightfall rather than by attrition, so it could be that an opportunity was missed.<BR/><BR/>Without a unit, Leader or Supply card in hand, pushing units into a position where they could be attacked without a chance of recovery seemed a bad plan. And any time I did play a Supply card you had a Guerrilla card in hand to negate it.<BR/><BR/>However, perhaps I should have just shut up shop in the early part of the game rather than kept pressing the attacks, but the system does appear to favor the attacker. Who knows. We need to play it more to figure out a good strategy.Mykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294743210036569373noreply@blogger.com
