Strategic Analysis:
The Battle of Ligny map is a compact, high-stakes battlefield that rewards quick decision-making and precise execution. In this featured match, I played Secret Mission mode with fixed cards and unstable portals, completing my mission in just three turns. The map’s layout, with its interconnected territories and contested bonuses, demands careful planning and adaptability.

Key Takeaways:
- Mission Focus: Prioritize your objectives over bonuses or eliminations.
- Portal Usage: Unstable portals can create unexpected opportunities or threats.
- Speed Wins: In Secret Mission mode, a fast start can secure victory before opponents react.
