Not exactly one myself.  And I get bored with games easily, so if something requires me to be patient and whittle an enemy down, I'll probably quit before I win because I'd get bored.  I'm easily defeated in this type of game, but still fun.

I see you have a similar strategy to mine; a rush to Odik. A question, though, why didn't you take Hakassi to get Pellaeon?

Yeah, pretty much my strategy too.  I used to try to head north, but gave up on that quickly and realized I was just making it harder on myself.

Hakassi has quite strong ground forces on Admiral difficulty especialy when you just have walkers and stormtroopers i could play the cheap way and use scouts+bombardments/bombing runs to take them out,but i dont consider that really much fun and i also consider hakassi worthless to take at this stage since you lack the resources to defend it as Kuat is right next to it most likely having Endurances waiting to attack in coming weeks

so in general its more so of a rush to the SSD and hope for the best before new republic overwhelms me

i hope that makes sense my english is not very good

Makes sense...I built AT-STs first, so I won Hakassi ground with no casualties on my side. You just have to know how to manipulate Barrage (fighting the Consortium taught me that lol). Even if its too hard to keep I want it for the free ISD II and better hero bonuses. IMO its worth it. Whatever works for you though.

Agreed, I take it and then just abandon it so that I have a real hero to try to take the Knight Hammer.

We're always happy when people post their LPs, so this definitely isn't gonna get deleted, certainly not gonna get you banned. I'm just gonna move this to the ICW discussion board (since it's related to the mod and will probably be easier for people to find there) once you see this post.

I'm just glad we don't have to actually fight the Night Hammer to get it.

Ill try to get 1 episode out per day for those who are interested

Good to know. Could you by chance make the videos on average longer? Closer to the length of the video where you got the Knight Hammer? Just wondering, if not that's fine
