The best way is two attack with the warrior because someone’s going to say it’s not allowed to organize and you will fight and it won’t be as fun Attacking works anyway because if your guy dies then good for you you have 5 actions left and do the same as the first scenario If he didn’t and you attack and your guy doesn’t die then you attack again it’s undefended then you organize twice to win if you role 0-0 then you could move your other guys in battle if you still don’t kill the snare battle again if you still don’t kill the snare because of bad rolls you deserve to Loss If he had an ambush he probably would have played it on the first guy

I appreciate that perspective. Using the mechanism of the rules like I did there is a little bit cheeky, but it is a legal move. In a just-for-fun situation with friends, it's often better to play straightforward, roll the dice and **hope** for a win.

Yeah, I could have sworn I read something in the Law that states that when taking an action, you must complete the entire action or you cannot do it. I have been combing through the Law for the last few minutes and can't find it so maybe I imagined it. Is this a Mandela Effect happening to me or am I totally wrong?

@@StephenLee1 on the Lizards player board, Conspiracies specifically cannot be initiated unless they can be completed. For basically all other cases: From the Law of Root 2.5 ("Pieces"): "... If you are prompted to place, take, or remove a piece but you cannot, you must place, take, or remove the maximum number possible." Said differently, it's just the "do as much as possible" rule. ^_^

@@waterman121 Ah yes, that must be the point my mind was specifically fixated on. If I were to pull something like this with my friends, I would need to know exactly where in the Law to reference in order to appease them. Love your content BTW. Been really enjoying Woodland War Machine. My girlfriend pummeled me on the Lake map last week by spamming the Ferry using the Cat's March and listening to yesterday's episode gave me such an AHA moment.
