![]() ![]() If you’re feeling a bit cautious, you might want to distribute a few troops in fronts you wish to defend, taking into account the enemy’s recruitment numbers from their Draft phases. If you’re planning an offensive, you’ll usually place the most troops on the front line where you wish to strike, to maximize your ability to take the position you’re gunning for. Where you place your troops usually depends on your plan, the game’s modifiers (particularly the fog of war if it’s there), and how many troops you or your foes get every turn. You can also use the Cards you get during the Attack Phase to recruit more troops, but you need a set of 3 cards to do this. Owning a Continent or a specific set of territories at the start of your turn gives you more troops than the same number of territories scattered across different continents. You get an allotment of troops depending on how many territories or countries (Maps can take place from as large as the whole planet or consist of streets in a city, to rooms inside a building, so calling them continents isn’t always accurate) you own in total, and if those territories belong to a Continent or a set of territories. The Draft Phase is the part of your turn where you recruit soldiers and then position them around the battlefield. “ Do you want to see the world? Meet exciting new people? And then shoot them!? Join the army today!”- United States of Corncobia recruitment poster, World War 27, Early 2285 Take into account too when you get your turn: You have to remember that the enemy’s turn may arrive before yours and ruin whatever continent control you have before your own turn arrives and you wind up not getting troops from the continental control bonus. You normally have more starting units than territories you can take before the map is fully controlled, and those spare troops will likely make up your real starting army. This is the most important phase, and you can lose a match before it even starts by messing up here, so no pressure! You must place your troops in such a way that you take into account choke points, control of specific continents, connections for the Fortify Phase, and your enemy’s unit placements in mind.Įach of you takes turns placing one soldier at a time on an empty board, so you and your enemy can see where units are being placed. ![]() If you’re playing a match with Manual Placement turned on, you are given a pre-battle phase where you select the territories you own and how you deploy your initial troops.
