Hopefully this doesn't end up as a flamewar, and I apologize if its been covered already. KOT isn't my type of game and I only did a quick look at the forums for this topic.The last few times I've played KOT I have done nothing but try to roll as many hits as possible, keeping health as well if I need it. I would also get out of Tokyo at the first opportunity. When I started to do this strategy, I started to win most my games, and none of the ones I lost were decided by points.
I think points are only a possible win if the group as a whole is trying to get points. One or two people bashing away will change that. I can usually come up with multiple hits on a turn if thats all I'm rolling for. Before long, the group I was playing with started to bash away and give up on points. The games got really boring, and would be over really quick.
I would like to hear from people who have played more than me, especially from people who have run this strategy and have a different view on the balance.
