Personally, I subscribe to the "Hit the biggest enemy thing with overwhelming force.  Then mop up the healers."   

(*edit2* Rule clarified, you do have to beat targets armour, ie cause hit point loss, for dooom to kick in...so i am not going nuts after all ;P )

Yep.  My bad.

just don't make it blatantly obvious in setup that its the plan and you should be fine.

OK, I played today and won easily with the light site. My character both waited for the dark characters to come and the first 3 turns I only casted shield on Kronen, so that he had shield for the rest of the game.
The distance betweeen the Armys was 38", so he had to run 2 rounds to come into shooting range and had of course not enough points to shoot. In round 3 Kronan took the shots for Evangeline to prevent her from range takes. In round 4 Evangeline casted shield on herself and was able to dodge a shoot from the girl, Kronan fought against the other guy...a few rounds later the bad guys were not able to kill Kronan. The girl was not able to hurt him, so she tried to reflect damage, the other guy tried his 9 -9 Attack...and made not realy much damage, after 2 good hits from Kronan (ok, this took 3 rounds...) he died and Kronan was able to resist the bad spell from the girl...and killed her in the last 2 rounds.
Evangeline lived very long and was able to protect herself against the girl (5 attack +  d10 against 8 defense +  d10 + the armor speel made her quite tough), while the other guy was fighting against Kronen and was unable to go away (missed it 3 times *g*).

So the light faction has a good chance to win and of coure the game was a lot of fun. Oh and the rules were quite easy to understand, so good work!.

any balance game with players that use the correct tactics for their side will reduce to a game of chance and I believe that is exactly what happens with the starter decks. the dark side needs those range attacks because they don't get any spells to heal.
