@Snotty128, after you built an Air Forces unit, your Strength increased 8 from 9 to 17. But Air Forces provides only 5 Strength. Where is the other 3 Strength coming from?
Gandhi doesn’t add to Strength, so they add up to 14 Strength, not 17. So, what am I missing?
EDIT: Apparently, Air Forces doubles the Tactics Strength. Missed that in the rule book. Good to know, since I didn’t place much value in it, except when paired with Napoleon.
You found it - air forces count as an extra tactic; if you built two air forces, they’d count as three tactic cards all together (the actual tactics, plus one for each air force). Pretty powerful militarily if you can afford it.
Well, each army can only include one air force; if you want that second one to count, you’ll need a separate set of units matching the tactics card for it to attach to.
@Snotty128, @feederofgoats, @LordGek: Thanks for the fun game! This game showed me that Action cards are great for quickly building an urban infrastructure as long as those urban buildings aren’t destroyed. If they are, one likely won’t have the production infrastructure in place to rebuild them in a timely manner.
Well played Mysterio! I’m surprised at how many points I ended up getting. About halfway through I realized I’d been focusing too much at my economy at the expense of victory points and was massively behind you all. I would say it was a good learning experience but I seem to do that every game!
My only exposure to TTA is via iOS. I know that it can be quite lengthy on the table, but am I crazy to think that the game is almost over too quickly? I understand that part of the game is about doing the most you can with the limited actions that you have, but I always feel like I am just getting started when Age IV rolls around. Maybe it is just me.
I’ve always felt this way, even when playing on BGA. My cardboard experience is limited, but the game itself obviously lasts longer - analysis paralysis, reminding people they have too many cards, etc. Even in cardboard, I recall Age 3 going by way too fast for my liking - give me a few turns to flex my tanks and rockets!
Good game, @js619 and @Tigana. I had a lot of aggression cards and war cards. I had to do something against your early culture lead . I am up for another against anyone.
