Description

In SKIRMISH: Modern Card Warfare the goal is simply to bust through your opponents defenses and capture their flag. To accomplish this, you will SKIRMISH against your opponent constantly on the field of battle using the cards that you’ve drawn into your hand.

When you first look at SKIRMISH the condition for victory is easy: just make sure that your SKIRMISHER on the field of battle has a higher rating than your opponent’s SKIRMISHER. But things would be just too easy if that was all there is to it…

You've got to watch out for bombs, spies and snipers, all the while using your cards strategically for field reviews, reinforcements and the ever-popular bomb and spy busting.

The strategy is as deep as you make it. Should you open with a Bomb to get a head start at breaking your opponent’s defenses? Do you bait their largest rated cards out into the field with one of your lower rated cards? Do you take the gamble of sending a Sniper out looking for their top rated cards? Do you expect a bomb to be coming and send out a Bomb Buster?

Whatever you do there is no guarantee of victory as you have to learn to read your opponent and out bluff him. The tides can quickly turn from that of sure victory to nail biting defeat and visa versa.
