these were some great lessons. I'll have to practice a lot before I'll always spot the necessary moves though.

Macht richtig Laune, wobei der Level 2 Videokurs schon zu schwer ist für Anfänger ... deshalb vorher vielleicht den Skill Tree ordentlich bespielen

Liked it because it clearly showed the differences achievable between choices of different placements concerning attack and defensive moves. The lessons demonstrative situations where low moves were preferable to higher level moves.
