It did seem easy but it also seems that the expedition members numbers and firepower have increased but the native numbers have remained static, would that be a fair assumption.<br />So gone are the days of last ditch stands and nail biting actions to be replaced with the European steamroller.<br />Maybe as Simon suggested you try and improve the decision making of the natives or simply increase their numbers to match your own.<br />It will be interesting to see how the new expedition leader acts, not well from the tone of your conclusion.Vagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031648950206231742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-61289750861193563632018-05-30T01:45:00.828-07:002018-05-30T01:45:00.828-07:00More terrific "Jimland" shenanigans, Joe...More terrific "Jimland" shenanigans, Joe.

My problem is tht as the Native player I have no guile about the Native deployment and they tend not to deploy as I would. As the Expedition player I know how to combat the rather simplistic Native tactics, restrcited as they are by the randomness of using dice in their deployment.<br />Their number, I think, are somewhat on the small size as they're meant merely to act as speed-ups in the expeditions progress.
