[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5558838, member: 54877"] I think how you play the group of monsters is as important as how you play the ones that get marked. If I've got 7 goblins, you can bet 2 or 3 are going to try to keep the defenders off the rest of their side, so that the rest can go after something squishier. This makes it less of a question of, "Does this monster go after the marker or his primary target," and more a question of, "what are the monsters' tactical plans." Of course, if those monsters are oozes, they might simply try to overwhelm the first target they can reach, but I find, "focus fire on opponents offense, all the time, as much as possible," tactically effective in the game but ultra boring. If I'm unsure about a monster, I'll assign odds on a d6 an openly roll. 4 of those 7 goblins went after the wizard, but the defenders intercepted the other three and 1 of the 4. Does that 4th one risk running or not? Quick assign, and roll. This ensures that I don't start biasing the outcome one way or the other, and lets the defenders know that it wasn't a question on the other 6 monsters. [/QUOTE]
