Suggestions or strategies for a new player?

Post by MonagFam »

While I enjoy the game a lot, I feel I am not getting as much out of it as I could. My approach is sometimes, in simplistic terms, to just send big stacks of tiles against the opponent and hope I win.

I feel like I am not making enough of different unit types or maximizing their strengths. After all, I apparently sent unarmed civilians (rumor has it they did have access to rocks) into battle in Grenada.

I told you I was bad at wargaming. [:)]
