i have tried both methods but because i am extremely unlucky sometimes, i had a 9 attacking a 4 and they got it down to 5 vs 4 before i stopped...twice!
therefore i dont know which is better

at the start, is it better to make some strong areas in good positions better defended?

okay thanks

In my game which is a classic assassain match, iceland is held y what appears to be a separate team (white), is this a fault or is it always held by this "player"?

k, thanks all - better start battling then!

...if there is any way of quitting a game once it has started, plz pm me with your answers - cheers
