I should've been more aggressive.<br /><br />Chris began the game saying he was going to make sure he didn't forget to use his commander's special power like he did on his last game. In the end, though, I think he slightly obsessed over it.Ersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012602968152264418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-81924139048817923112016-10-03T12:56:55.120+01:002016-10-03T12:56:55.120+01:00Yes I agree, your turn comes round quick.

Andrew had some longer turns due to his sprawling empire and additional moves he needed but there is little AP and you've usually made up your mind before your turn arrives. <br /><br />I guess this is because mostly little happens which makes you change your plans. A few turns where someone unexpected turns up but then its back to managing your engine. chris.smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146293856495494606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-44715554434485751262016-10-03T12:43:58.908+01:002016-10-03T12:43:58.908+01:00I think the theme comes through more with Eclipse ...I think the theme comes through more with Eclipse but I like how zippy Scythe is.

I think that the game doesn't get me. There's definitely a proper way to play it and short termism is not it. Making all your moves more efficient has got to be your initial goal because it then releases you to do all the other good stuff. The cumulative bonuses start to make a big difference mid game.<br /><br />I also completely over paid in our first battle blowing my wad rather than keeping a bit back for subsequent battles....<br /><br />For me Eclipse still edges it, although there is also a right way to play it as well, I get the whole process better. chris.smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146293856495494606noreply@blogger.com
