Solo Missions
Many times in our games we see a piece that is unprotected and we aim after it, many times there is no danger but sometimes there is. When you send a piece on a solo mission it is like walking through a jungle blind not knowing what will happen. It is good to always have at least one protection when doing an attack, now solo missions are very bad and dangerous. They can result in a positional disadvantage or material loss.
