....He could have killed your mobi on turn 10 after you moved it up into that vulnerable position.....

....Alternatively he could have taken a more defensive approach and simply blocked off his base with 2 soldiers on turn 10 after killing your runner.....

There was nothing he could do to kill my mobi on turn 10. His soldier had already attacked for the turn, and that was the only thing in range. I presumed that he would attack the runner with the unit that was right there, ensuring the safety of my mobi.


I do like your second idea, though. Blocking off his base really would have messed with my strategy.

He may have miscounted wits (by 1), but the point to focus on is that your mobi was very vulnerable to the soldier (kill the runner with something else then move the soldier up to hit the mobi). His teammate can then finish off the mobi with a runner on turn 12. But yea as you said I'd rather go for more defensive play (blocking base with soldiers) because then I don't risk overextending myself only to have the mobi get healed by a medic or something on turn 11.

But going back to the mobi and its relatively exposed position on turn 10, it's just risky in general when you move that mobi up like that. If he had had 7wits instead of 6wits he could have killed the mobi. It was a cool strategy but seems a little too risky for me =P you run the risk of losing your mobi when you rush it up so quickly without much support and the benefits are marginalized if your opponent react properly and blocks the base, but hey, if it works for you then that's great ^^ it's always nice to see experimentation with new strategies like this!
