Hi Gerry,
Thanks for your post!
I have a chance to play it 3 times so far. And I like it.
I have been beaten every time so it seems I am still learning
I struggled badly with a lack of resources in the last two games. In the second one, I tried a science strategy that failed miserably, in the last one, I tried an attacking strategy that failed badly while my opponent comfortably made it with a science approach!
So my advice is take resources in the first phases. You will need them all along!
I look forward to playing again. I can't stay on two heavy losses
Nicolas.
