Advanced tactics

[Alvendor]

Here is one example of a move that looks risky but is fairly safe in practice.

   

On the previous round the opponents only action was to create and move out with the runner for two wits.

So here I can create a sniper and move out without boosting it as there is no reasonable way for the opponent to get vision of it. It doesn't make sense for him to move forward with the runner or soldiers. The other risk is if he creates a runner and moves to get vision of the right half of map. But as he had at least 4 wits saved from previous round he will probably create something more expensive.

You could argue that you want to boost the sniper no matter what. But there are a few cases (maybe 15% I don't know..) when you don't need it. And for those cases you just saved a wit with this play.
