Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

[Suppaidaman!]

Can I join the loyalist side?

[Paxiecrunchle]

This has gotten to chaotic and fat paced for me, be back after the war my freindos.

[Haspen]

Loyalists play The Grand Campaign (-1 Treasury, -3 Army)

Pretender counters with Foreign Auxiliaries (-1 Treasury)

BATTLE! Loyalists 4d6 = 10, Pretender 1d6 = 5
Pretender's Battle Score is lowered by 5!
In mid-Spring 1114 AD, a Grand Campaign of Loyalists forces ended rather badly, the most decisive battle was between 6.000 strong Loyalist force that lost most of its soldiers against 1.500 Pretender soldiers who were relatively unharmed.

Pretender plays Supplies From Abroad (-1 Treasury, +5 Battle Score)
In late Spring 1114 AD, the dwarven involvement in Methiantese Civil War was evident, their supplies relieving the battered forces of the Pretender.

Loyalists discard The Great Purge and Abandon the Throne (+3 Loyalty)
Pretender discards Spread-Out Siege Campaign (+2 Army)

Pretender Support Unit #7 pokes MAXIMUM SPIN TO VOTE 1 and 2.

[Criptfeind]

Too be honest, I think fixing up our own stats is still the priority. I think we pretenders (or true loyalists rather) should just use supplies from Abroad, and burn the other two.

Urban Massacre just costs too much of a stat we don't have THAT much of.

[omada]

Great, third turn and no possible play that can end the war right now from what I see

both are so far from -30 battlescore.

I am almost willing to join myself this war just to see the world burn

Good point >_> And I'm not checking their cards at all--but presuming they have similar powers, we need to save that.

Go for 2 instead, Maximum Spin.

[Twinwolf]

Not super great cards this turn. I'm thinking to use the first and second and discard the third. Any thoughts on that before I make a bold action?

[Iituem]

Pretenders:  Actually, I would like to second Pretender Support Unit #7's original suggestion; Use #1 and #2, burn #3, and here is for why; if we burn 3, we regain most of the stat we'd spend on 1 in order to inflict additional damage.  It's an optimal combination of loss/gain.  The recovery from 2 is essential to our survival anyway, so we might as well call it.

Yeah, not excellent this turn, but as choices go that looks okay to me. We can afford to spend some loyalty.

Support Unit #7 would note the importance of Cryptfiend's advice (who totally isn't a demon UNLIKE THOSE "LOYALIST" SCUM), we need to play safe at this time when we have little to gain and more to heal.

This is a good one, it's true. Gotta keep hitting those other fellas rightly.

Nah. Actually, we straight up loose the game if we use the first one.

We go from 5 to 3 on their action, then 3 to 0 on our action, then loose before we can get back up to 2.

We're obligated to burn the first one. And since the third one isn't that great we might as well burn it as well.

We get 2 back from burning the third, so it's not all that dire.

That sort of sounds like you're looking at our cards
