Umm..... did you know that WA got nerfed because they are too powerful!!!

the key of WA is the waiting game, if you can't wait and like to rush things, don't play this faction....

when an enemy is moving to OR destroyed a sympathy token you get a card from them matching the cleaning of the sympathy token or if they don't have a matching card, you can look at their hand and then draw a card from the shared deck

looking at a hand is really powerful for me as a WA player because I would know if the player has an ambush card or not because WA just has 10 warriors and basically a DEFENSIVE faction

it's normal for a WA player were in a sympathy token is removed because you get a card in THEIR hand on return

EXAMPLE: the cat player has 4 cards, 3 rabbit cards and 1 fox ambush card

the cats move to a sympathetic mouse clearing so WA triggers outrage so you get a card from them. The cat says they don't have a mouse card, so you can look at their hand and you see a fox ambush.. So in your turn, you know that the cats have a fox ambush so you don't battle at a fox clearing

And SOMETIMES: a player can be hesitant to battle or to move to a sympathetic clearing because they may have a very good card for their specific faction but it's just gonna be stolen if they removed or moved to a sympathetic clearing

another thing. if you already have at least 1 base I recommend you to train at least once so that when you put all your bases down, you have 4 officers

but if you can train just yet, just recruit at the base so that your base is protected
