I actually have never browsed the BGG information for Fortress America, because I have never expected I would ever have a chance to play this game. That's refreshing, because I'm experiencing the game from scratch (other than knowing such a Hiew Chok Sien 邱卓成https://www.blogger.com/profile/17243478408389021695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-26729236547690418222009-04-29T01:58:00.000+08:002009-04-29T01:58:00.000+08:00That was me ^That was me ^Cecrownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-42826680966788075272009-04-29T01:57:00.000+08:002009-04-29T01:57:00.000+08:00The invaders tend largely to cooperate.

Possibly this is because Yellow and Blue tend to collide immediately, while Red rarely gets involved. Through experience I'm sure you'll find matches become closer rather than a landslide victory, although the USA will always remain the tougher Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-11777881828686525662009-04-28T22:10:00.000+08:002009-04-28T22:10:00.000+08:00Unfortunately this game is out of print.

In the north east my red invaders were initially stalled, but after a few battles of attrition, Han couldn't reinforce that area (not drawing the right cards) and his troops there were soon worn down, while I still had enough red troops lining up to storm the shores. Once I broke through, there was no stopping the red army. <brHiew Chok Sien 邱卓成https://www.blogger.com/profile/17243478408389021695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-47878903030319803242009-04-27T23:43:00.000+08:002009-04-27T23:43:00.000+08:00I find this to be a very balanced game in most mat...I find this to be a very balanced game in most matches. Your yellow and blue invaders look to be advancing normally, but I've almost never seen red run riot like that, especially in the northeast. I think Han left himself too vulnerable up there and could turn the whole game around next time with more concentration in that area. The key to a USA win is recapturing cities, which increases theirCecrownoreply@blogger.com
