When you are playing a game that has unlimited fortifications, do you like to compile your armies during your first turn, or do you keep them spread out.
I'm currently trying both ways in a few games to see what I like best. I was just wondering what you guys thought.
It depends on the layout, and the setup of the map. If the other guy has done that, and I do it, chances are he'll roll through all my single armies andcome out next turn with a ton more armies.
also would depend on the kind of game, for instance in an assassin game I like to fortify as many countries as I can into one large mass and then steamroll my target.
if there is a small trail leading into a group of countries that I control none of, i move them out, since they were going to get slaughtered anyways. i generally like to have atleast 4's or 5's on all my exposed edges, nothing less than a 2, if it is a big exposed edge. And usually within the first few rounds.
Generally, yes, but it depends a lot on map type and game type: I'm more likely to move troops in a team game or assassin, and less likely in a Terminator game.
I generally group the one's if I plan to use them to take a continent or attack another player. Keep them in 3's or so if they are 'isolated', it makes it harder to lose armies that way and you could get an extra 1 or 2 army bonus for extra territories.
Very difficult to give a simple answer to this question for reasons already mentioned. However, I would like to add that leaving lot's of 1's all over the board is rarely a good thing (easy cards for the opposition apart from anything else) so I try to only move what must be moved strategically and I try to avoid moving anything which is not already 'behind the lines' on round 1.
I put all my armies in neutral zones (ones that won't get continent bonuses) into ones that can. And I tend to put them all in choke points, and leave 2-3 in places. <-- if you get lucky, those 2 can knock out 8. or more. gl
