OO Boardgamers, what did you play this weekend?

I finished session 2 of my third try at a campaign yesterday. The status doesn't really bother me that much as I rarely get more than 1 or 2 during a battle. And when you get the same one, it just moves that die to the back of the cooldown track. Also, don't forget that enemies pretty much ignore you when you're two tiles away from them or more, which happens in dungeons and delves.

Yesterday's session 2 closer was a dungeon....and I loved it. That mode is what got me to buy into this. And it does not disappoint. I still find the round limit of 6 rounds a bit annoying, but if you manage your overfatigue correctly and get one or two of the many items that manage the round die (ticking it down in some cases), you can probably last a few more rounds...or even more. Plus, many of the longer end session games involving delves or dungeons actually tick down the round die 2 to 3 numbers when you're halfway through, or have met a major goal of the quest's first part.

My observations so far are that two handed skills can devastate enemies...if you take care to control your cooldown. Those hefty damage numbers come with a huge price in adding light fatigue. And if you're not careful, you'll suddenly find yourself with no place to put newly exhausted dice and you have to drain them and add even MORE fatigue. It's a rough balance to maintain.

And light armor is a must if you go mage. The fact that it uses the magic battleform means it works with pretty much any magic school you go with.

I thought I read that enemies move 2 tiles towards their priority target if out of range. Or did I just make that up in my head, because it seems like the logical thing for them to do?

Hmmm....I may be mistaken then. I just posted this question on BGG though. I've been playing that if not in sight, they don't move. It was part of my winning strategy in yesterday's dungeon even.

edit: Yup, I'm wrong. Damn it. There goes one of my winning strategies.
