Francassins Round 3 kicked off with Secret Assassin mode on Battle for Plancenoit—and it was rough right from the start.
Drawing Red with Purple as my target seemed manageable at first. But my early bonus attempt was blocked immediately by unlucky dice and enemy positioning, leaving me without critical income or board presence. From that moment on, I was playing catch-up.
After a solid showing in Round 2, I entered Round 3 Game 1 looking to keep the momentum going.
The map was Polus, with blizzards, fog of war, unstable portals, and progressive cards. Survival would depend on smart positioning, careful stack management, and reading the map through limited visibility.
Map: Battle of Charleroi • Mode: World Domination • Result: 1st Place
Round 3, Game 2 of Francassins — and this was the one I needed to secure.
The setting? Battle of Charleroi with progressive cards, stable portals, no fog, and no alliances. Every move was visible. Every mistake could be punished.
And in the end, I played it perfectly.
Map: Battle for Plancenoit • Mode: 70% Domination • Result: Outpaced by Blue’s run
After a messy first game, I went into this one hoping for a smoother, more calculated approach. Battle for Plancenoit, 70% Domination, progressive cards, and unstable portals — plenty of ways to get it right or blow it completely.
I played a disciplined early game: multiple bonuses, solid stacks, and strategic spread. At one point, I was holding +10 in bonus income and feeling great. But in progressive 70%, the game doesn’t wait — and Blue timed their run perfectly while I held off a turn too long.
Round 2 of the Francassins tournament took us to the iconic Battle of Waterloo map. This was Secret Assassin mode with progressive cards, unstable portals, and blizzards — a chaotic mix that rewards precision and timing. My target? Orange. My start? Decent, but far from ideal.
Round 2, Game 2 of the Francassins tournament and I finally got a point on the board! This was Secret Mission mode on the Battle of Ligny map, featuring fixed cards, unstable portals, and a 60-second timer. My mission? Capture West Ligny and Prussian III Corps. Both were contested, but I got the perfect start and made every turn count.
Round 2 of the Zombie World Championship 2025 took us to the Turkey map under full Zombie Apocalypse rules: progressive cards, unstable portals, fog of war, and no alliances. This time, I played a patient, calculated game—focusing on stack distribution, movement deception, and avoiding the portals that attract zombies.
Map: Battle of Charleroi • Mode: Assassin • Result: Eliminated mid-game
My very first Assassin-mode tournament match, and I was completely out of my depth. The chaos of secret targets, progressive cards, unstable portals, and alliances made for a wild ride. I spent most of the game trying to figure out who was after whom, and it showed.
“Francassins” throws you into Napoleon-themed maps with secret targets, progressive cards, unstable portals, and alliances turned on. The settings reward timing, misdirection, and patience. And I had none of those things.
This was Round 2, Game 1 of TheOfficialTourney — and what a ride.
70% Domination. Orbital Objectives. Unstable portals. Progressive cards. Every decision counted.
And spoiler? I won. 🏆
Coming off my victory in Game 1, my goal for Game 2 was straightforward: secure solid points and keep my tournament momentum going. But with the New Zealand and Australia Advanced Map under chaotic settings (70% domination, true random dice, progressive cards, and unstable portals), nothing was guaranteed.
