weird play

Post by wearegood »

I played a guy who went industrial with otto and went straight bombard behind walls and fortified towers. I made czapka uhlan, monitors and mortars and culverins and it still couldn't beat his lame mass of 20 bombards( he had upgrade cards in deck for all buildings and bombard and cannon upgrads etc) what am I meant to if it gets to this stage? I know rush would have worked obviously but after that option?

Was it @bramboy ?

But however, try to prevent him from doing this, A rush could help. You can also pressure him a lot in age III so he won't go age 4. A second option you can do is to just boom yourself and attack if he leaves his base. Germans boom is better then Otto's so outboom him and wait until he attacks. He is save in his base. He probably isn't outside.

outboom him and use direct counters.
But like seriously just how could the otto player get 20 bombards in the first place.

Culverines should do the job.

Build 3 tcs, send eco cards, go industrial yourself, make culverins. Dont allow him to get out on the map. Play greedy and non-standard, the worst thing you can do is to make an army and suicide it on his walls and bombards. Since otto eco is horrible you should be able to win no problem if you play correctly.
