I think the card system could do with some work - as could the Call to Arms scenario for every game - there are certain fleets which really suffer in open space, and certain fleets which really excel.
As such there are certain players who will automatically load up on cancel cards, and others who will load up on terrain. It's just too easy for people to cancel opponents' cards, and leave races (especially the First Ones) out in the cold a bit.
Thanks for that - I take it both of your cards were canceled? I would be interested hearing what the other players had to say about the cards too, most people I talked to on the day liked the idea but would have tweaked it a little.
Personally I thought they seemed to work well (I was collecting some data about what cards were selected and used) but sorry to hear they didn't seem very useful to you.
