Reviewing the rules, apparently there’s no limit on redeploying enhancements at the start of a game. I used this last during my last game and it went better than expected and I actually won, playing purge the foe. Is something I should consider as a go to or just a silly list:

I’ve played 3 games against Emperor’s Children and got smoked each time. By the beginning of the second turn I have more than half of nuts opponent’s army breathing down my neck and MVB or defiler is dead or near death. The assault perk is what is what’s causing my headache, I believe. Does anyone have any tips or similar issues. Also any armies that give you heartburn and/or tips for those match ups as well.
