Looking for a few players in the 1400 points area (or more) to play some esc. games with me. I'm interested in playing more, but I don't want to join games with a bunch of newbies or idiots with a gametype I'm not as strong with. I'll probably mix up the settings a bit as well - different forts as well as a few fog of war games. Maps....I donno.
I'll set up some games later if I get enough interest. I'd like at least four people playing. Post/PM if interested. Hopefully it can be a mutually beneficial experience for all interested. I'll create some games later if I get response. Until then...homework

My suggestion if you are trying to learn to play better Esc, or any specific game type.
Unless you're wanting to learn how to play Fog of War, I wouldn't use it to learn how to play Esc. One of the biggest things to learn in Esc is what opponents to take out, in what order, and when.
Only make a strong attack against someone if you know, or have a very good chance at taking them out. If you leave someone weak, then you could be handing the game to someone else who will defeat that person, get their cards; then move on to the next person.

I've been playing increasing my number of esc games over the past month or so, so I've an idea of the basic strategy. I just want a chance to be a bit more malleable with some new ideas as well as try out some new maps while I'm at it.
