Don’t feed the horde clowns.
If you’re flying as a rook when it’s 18 bish vs 4 rooks and 3 knights, you need to adjust your play.
In these instances, why not pad your score with the hordelings instead of asking for troops at field A1….never mind the fact that two hours of flaccid attack couldn’t prep. the town.
It’s time for basic strategy classes.
