I still have not revisited this game myself. I don't remember it feeling too lopsided.

I think the defender is completely overpowered to the point where I didn't enjoy the game. Defender archers can shoot anyone but attacker archers can only shoot other archers. Since the Defender can move his people anywhere anytime archers are useless. Special orders are also useless since the defender can nullify them.

As for how the attackers won, it was generally a cause of killing the archers with our goblins/ballistas, and then winning through various methods (the quicker kills were with the battering ram, but we also breached the walls normally).

In those games that I did play, it was the defenders who seemed to have an advantage. But the defender player was a strong player, so maybe it's just that I was a poor attacker. :-) One mistake that we made was overstaffing the battering ram. You cannot assign more fighters there than there are slots.

I just picked it up after hearing about it on the d6generation, and we played it three times, but it seemed horribly lopsided in favor of the attackers. In our three games, we breached on turns 6, 4, and then on turn 8 (after goofing around). There has to be something we're doing wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.Warhammer39999https://www.blogger.com/profile/07569938624607480660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-8154591406334007972011-07-18T22:43:20.154+08:002011-07-18T22:43:20.154+08:00I love the look of this game, and the powerful the...I love the look of this game, and the powerful theme.

Attacker side being played by two players meant some restrictions imposed on us, e.g. we could only manage our own side of the castle. We also needed to coordinate between ourselves well in order to be effective in our attacks.
