Yeah spacechef, since each one starts a game as P1 against the other, it doesn't matter

Cool.. this game is really proof positive of the idea that all things being equal, if you both follow the same strategy without error or deviation, P1 will win by virtue of going first. The only real difference that I noticed was that lawtai had an additional soldier guarding his back side, whereas Husky Pete did not. Curious what others think - seems like if you're P2 and notice you and your opponent are following the same strategy, you have to do something to throw it off - any creative ideas from the crowd? Seems like around Turn 8 it was probably obvious they were both planning the same thing, and could've been the chance for Husky Pete to change the trajectory of the match.

Yeah I should have spawned one soldier. I think that would have swing the edge to me. I had in my head that player 2 has the attack edge here. But lawtai knows I am thinking that by virtue of our friendlies and he wisely followed his plan of attack. When I realized he was attacking too I thought great, I got him. Wrong answer lol. It was interesting though. I've never played a game here where both players simultaneously go for attack on opposite sides. I learned a valuable lesson! Wish I learned it the day before ;-)

P2 should have advantage attacking on sweetie plains if played right. You can send an extra soldier to defend or attack because of the extra 3 wits as p2, should be the decider between defending one more turn or attacking one less turn.

I think this could have gone either way, and P2 could have won this if he had played the last two turns differently. It still would've been close, but I think he could have held him off while pushing and ended up winning.

I think a big differences was that even though he outnumbered me 3 soldiers + 1 runner vs 3 soldiers, my soldiers were ahead by 1 hex, so I could take out his soldier where as he only took out my runner when he took my wit space. Being that 1 hex closer allowed me to get to the base faster I think.

Good game. Crazy long battle

[lawtai]

Gg. I probably shouldn't have pulled my units back early on, but I was thinking you had a scrambler hiding.
