Quick winning principles
- Battle back: defender attacks if they survive.
- Terrain: hills reduce damage.
- Play card matching section with most units.
- Weakened flank: attack where opponent has fewest blocks.
Ideal strategy
- 1
Battle back exploitation: leave 1 block to survive and battle back—2 damage for 1 block trade.
- 2
Terrain lines: hills and towns give defense; hold terrain with few blocks.
- 3
Card-section matching: play left card when left flank has 4+ units—maximizes activation.
- 4
Weakened flank: attack flank with 2 blocks; don't attack 4-block center.
- 5
Leadership: leadership card adds to all battles that turn—play when 2+ battles.
- 6
Endgame: when opponent has 2 flags, attack aggressively—flags win, not block preservation.
