Those Days

[Ja Karta]

I keep thinking (for whatever reason) that a soldier and a runner will kill a boosted soldier.

Twice recently (and more in the past) I have a heavy/sniper, runner, and two soldiers set to kill two boosted soldiers... and then I attack incorrectly.
Quickly losing the resulting exchange...


Hasn't cost me a league game yet (that I can recall), but man it's frustrating when you have the higher level strategy working for you and you blunder the tactical portion.
:/




For what it's worth OP, those 'brain stalls' are part of why I play the game.
Things like forgetting that my base was at 4hp and not adjusting my defense or that there was a sniper in the FoW.
They're annoying when they happen. But they help me call attention to poor cogntive habits. I've only been playing (and moderately) for a few weeks and the number of *terrible* blunders I make is significantly reduced.
Still a long way to go. But I like to think that the game is making my brain a better organ.



PS: To +1 Alvendor, I went from having really irregular quality games to a (thus far continuing) ~20 league game win streak once I started playing not more than one or two league games at a time and playing a number of friendlies instead. Friendlies, besides letting you try new strats let you play more loosley. (Play what feels right, as opposed to calculating everything.) Personally, I sometimes just want to get a game in and friendlies are good for that.

If you don't have any mates to do friendlies with just ask someone you had a good league match with. Everyone I've asked has been happy to.
