the defense

Hi Mates,

Ok just to kick it off too

If you have no intresst in a section, maybe no cards or to weak compaired to the opponed in this section, then get your units into groups of three so each can support the other and have the single unit pointing towrds your side of the table. This will free you up to ingnore the more feeble actions on that section know that your troops will likly battle back( they can ignore one flag because each has two units adjacent). IF the opponent in this defensive secition makes a major threat, try to withdraw, this will for the oponet to use more cards to advace the superior forces after your retreting uits, and do try to keep all units adjecent to two friendly units. The stronger player will have most likey have more units in his major threat, so he will need moer cards to follow you, giving you more time to be on the offense where you choose.

Cheers
Mike

I like the triangle setup for defense giving each unit mutual support and extra morale (ability to ignore 1 flag).
Stops your opponent chipping away at the end unit of your line(s)which are the ones more likely to retreat.
