Awesome.

I love it. I could see it turning out to be winnable with careful planning and communication among the allies, but impossible with the usual "go your own way" team execution.

How do we do #1429? We can spend so many holds. Right exec taking left obstacles/enemies and vice versa? Each exec takes 4x(turn number - 1) holds?

i'd expect taking more holds to generally be better; note that we don't have any good targets yet.

Following this turn, I'm just rolling forward, going in and out of the alcoves. (I've got the crown on.)

We have almost no time to get to the middle, so we have to go fast, fast, fast.

Yeah, I was surprised to note that the execs in the middle never seem to spec-shot neutrals.

That's part of the AI. The Execs have no interest in leaving a sealed base until turns 2 or 3, I believe.

Ah, neat. Glad that's in there. however, in my play testing, even after other execs (LL corner w/ sheep) started shooting random crap, the guys in the middle just G-n-R all day.

Hmm. They may be path planning to the opposite side of the map, which is to say they are path planning to nowhere, so they don't feel like they need to open doors.
