Oh man.. I had an entire week of vacation to prepare our game and I was exhausted by the end of it.. Then I had to come back to work again.. "back to the real world", unfortunately haha!
I did indeed notice the strat, I thought I was super smart too! Until I got my ass kicked. Like I said, I didn't quite get all the mechanics/tricks/options. I'll try to sneak in another attempt throughout the day to see if I understand it a bit better this time around and maybe can find another viable strategy!
