Re: (TFT) Solo-Playing the Opposition in Melee / Wizard

[raito@raito.com]

Well, archers are always going to try to stand off, pole guys want 
charge attacks, everyone wants back shots, etc. That said, one of the 
more useful thnings you can do is to make a deck of cards that have 
different plan options on them, and draw randomly. For example, does 
that side concentrate their attacks (in order to quickly reduce attacks 
against themselves), or do they spread themselves out (looking for the 
lucky hit). How do they choose opponents? By armour? Weapon? Wounds? Do 
their non-archers charge? Wait? Only wait if there's no opposing 
archers?

This will help you to play optimally within a plan, which is very 
useful in campaigns where the object isn't always to kill the other 
side.
