Fun battle report. On post battle stuff: There's a huge advantage to having at least one character with a high reaction. Since you get to roll first, then decide who gets which die, a three is nearly a guarantee of that character being able to act in the fast phase whenever you want to. Tactically, the best advantages are from moving last and then first, so that you get consecutive turns. Luck gives you a last-ditch auto-save from being knocked out once per game per point of luck. And if you manage to die anyway, you can expend all your luck permanently to avoid death. Luck is more than worth the points. Also, remember that you can pay for "Advanced Training" with a mix of credits and experience. And some of those things are really useful. One error I noticed: Per the rules (pg. 114), "Holding the Field" requires that "All enemy figures have been slain or have Bailed." Completing your objective is not sufficient by itself for that bonus. That said this is a solitaire game, so you should play however is fun for you.
Thanks for the fun notes/info. I did catch that I skipped the hold the field... I played my session pretty late into my weekend (after midnight and that Stout got me haha) and I was close to filming the next round on the following day... but wanted to get the video out. Thanks again for the comments. I'm trying to also get the video length down to an easier length but this game has a lot of fun pre/post battle rolling. Cheers and have a great week!
I'll post a link later but pretty sure I found them on board game geek forums for the game. They are pretty helpful in remembering the ai tactics while playing. Cheers 🍻
