yo wtf? jk, great game
Hahaha great start dachshundstudios! That's a real tough choice! :D
Thanks for pointing tat out, it never happen such a start in all my test, I guess you got the one on million chance! :D
In such case, the only strategy you can try at the moment, due to the limited CPU skill, is to advance with the Bear that has armour 1 and try to kill the enemy's Skeleton Avatar. Leave the eventual cards you have in the defence line and give preference to deploy Troll or Ogre as defenders in order to absorb as much hits to protect your Avatar, otherwise deploy units that have high Defence value and have more chance to evade enemies' attacks. I did won some "impossible" battles in that way, but dice roll are still a part that might fail the plan. However fighting all the way try to kill every single enemy opponent will require way more luck with dice.
