Strategy thinking after the first game:
- steel helms: hold objectives or enemies, not much else
- cavaliers: throw at the big threat
- cannon: maybe does something
- marshal: support, pick off unsupported targets early, be more aggressive late game

First game done! Only lost by 1 point after being tied going into the last round, I'm assured this is a close game
