Since at least Mobi+BS is much easier to deal with than Bramble BS

My last three league games against veggies (all the one's I've finished so far). Won all three. (Veggie player is master level.)

I think bramble is certainly OP. But so what? It's a GAME! Play it. Have fun with something new.
You're not a bad person if you lose. It's just a different challenge. And if you're really concerned about what your skill level looks like; think of this as karma for all the UP veggie match-ups in the past months.

I think feedback players have a *slight* advantage dealing with this change simple because we *always* have to play aggressively. If you sit and let bramble make parallel thorn networks it's going to be hard to uproot....
So don't.
Unit composition vs. bramble is different than against other teams as well.

(Early boosted sniper and heavy action remove bramble)

(Early heavy action to defend wit space and a little luck force bramble to retreat)

(No bramble was ever even spawned in this game, but that's the point. Also note: if he'd played turn 5 more conservatively (finished heavy with a runner) he'd have devastated me that turn. But he was saving wits for a bramble I'll bet you and it turned out poorly for him.)

Definitely not bragging (wish I were playing well enough that I could. Just speaking with actions and not just words re: anti-veggie strategies. ; )

Great games! Thanks for sharing them!
Also I like how you mention that the point is bramble wasn't spawned. Feedback can be such an aggressive threat that we can actually prevent a bramble spawn/effective bramble spawn.
I'm 2-0 vs. veggies in league. Already posted one game

(Perhaps 3-0 if I beat fellow forum member vegaprom in a very close game)
