That’s always been my problem. It isn’t too hard to get your troops outside the capitol, bit you have to make sure you’ve brought enough to get the job done. If you only contest the territory the defender can reinforce during the battle and you can’t. So if you don’t take the capitol quickly you’re screwed. Sounds like an entertaining game.
Time of games
-
I’ve played 2 games with friends and we ended it around round 5-6 each time (5-6 hours).
I played a full game myself and it lasted 16 hours.
Does anyone have friends that will actually finish the games up to +14 hours. It seems like the game is too long. Most of the last 5 hours is just one side clearly winning and just trying to capture the capitals.
My question is, is anyone finishing games that aren’t solo testplays?
-
We hadn’t finished after 6 hours, and I surmise it would have taken another six minimum to complete it. Now I understand why the belligerents agreed to an armistice!
On the other hand, now that we’ve got a lot of rules hammered out, I think the game will go MUCH faster next time (maybe 30 min a turn, instead of an hour a turn).

Yea, the rules are a hurdle the first time through, then they feel good after you get the hang of them.
