Did not really matter as they did great slaughter on the fictional Crypt Hill.
The battle scenario was set up by the players themselves as the respective sides could pick a, b or c options and then I would compare and match these maneuvers to prepared maps of my table. Thus a very different set up to the usual bland and uninspiring “You guys on that side and we on this side. Start 8 inches on the table.” game.
Also introduced on the moment was my card system so each player was given a number of shuffled playing cards equal to the number of units he currently deployed, the player having, say, the #4 card could play any of his remaining unactivated units during the fourth round of the turn. Each side would play its 4th unit with the one side always going first in this version of IGOUGO. After the end of all units activation attempt, the cards are shuffled and so a different sequence is produced for each side. As the sequence is not known, so a nice unpredictability of action is the result.
Photos of the action.
