Special: Vassal

Decision: Should You Play Shadespire on Vassal? TL; DR: Yeah, it's pretty good - especially if you're in North America. Prologue Prior to picking up Shadespire, I played Legend of the Five Rings (the AEG version) for 20 years. When FFG bought the game and rebooted it, I gave it a fair shake, and then decided to part ways with my oldest hobby. A month before Gencon 2018, I decided to play Shadespire instead of L5R, and haven't put it down since. When I was playing L5R regularly, my playgroup traveled several times a year to play in large regional tournaments. I had assumed this would be the case with Shadespire as well, but as most North American players can attest to - tournaments are pretty scarce in these parts.

Exceptions include attacks that gain a benefit from rolling criticals and those that roll 1 die to start. You should probably be playing both. Factor: Basic Reroll Strategy For the purposes of this article, we'll be using a basic reroll strategy that optimizes accuracy. For any number of dice X, we will elect to use Awakened Weapon on any roll in which the number of successes is less than X. Essentially, unless all of your dice come up successes, we'll reroll one of the failures. Later on, we'll discuss some advanced rerolling options. In the case of Awakened Weapon, all of our rerolls will be "blind" - meaning we won't know our opopnent's defense roll before we must decide whether or not to use the reroll it provides. Factor: Raw Accuracy The ability to reroll a single attack die repre...
