2011-12-22(A) Fred Ingram vs Jeff Coleman German winJust looking at this from the start, it felt as if the Commonwealth player would have a tough time. Jeff felt the same way when setting up. Not enough defenders and they are all spread out with one group unable to move for 4 turns.

Based on the cliff hexes on the north west portion of the hill, I had decided to concentrate on taking the southwest part of the hill - where I would not have to worry about being stuck between 2 sections. I guess the game went as planned. I was able to take 11 victory locations by turn 6 and just consolidated my position after that.

The commonwealth Balance provisions would not have made any difference.
