We’ll start the Intergalactic Units overview with the Raptor.

The Raptor is my favorite light unit, and one of my overall favorite units. It only costs 1 movement point and it has a range of 2, that means that it can hit almost anywhere. Because of the low movement cost and global movement type, it can also be used for protection as cannon fodder. But the major ability of this combat unit is hunting for other light units. It has a major bonus against other light units, that makes the Raptor the best light hunter on the Orion’s Belt Universe!

Experienced players know that the key to the game may be to eliminate all the opponent’s cannon fodder. And for that, the Raptor is one of the best weapons you can use. The Intergalactic Tournament has two light units: the Raptor and the Panther. It’ll be very important if you manage to take out the majority of your opponent’s light units. I imagine that there will be players that will focus their battle tactics on that, so you better prepare for that and properly defend your Raptor.

For the deploy, I’d leave 2 big groups of raptor on each side of the board, the redundancy is for protection. And I’d have several small groups up front to take on the enemy’s cannon fodder.

  1. My all time favorite light unit. These guys are beast. They move fast, have nice attack power and armor and they are a light unit with a range of 2!! that is great!! why so good you ask? these guys will be all over the battle field, and that extra range will give you more move points. More move points means they can move and attack more and so on.
