A ranged unit can simply back away when enemy melee units attempt to close in or lay down [[Cards/Wall of Fire|lava terrain]] to deter aggressors. A melee unit can choose to dominate the victory terrain or attempt to close down the right lane. [[Cards/Charge|Charging]] dwarves can pick any three lanes for rapid penetration. The sole drawback is a possible flanking move from the left lane and a single blindspot from the right. Figures 6 to 8 show the LoS of other paths. All provide sufficient coverage of the victory terrains and any two combinations are sufficient for creating overlapping kill zones.

 ==Crowd Control==
-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_control_%28MMORPG%29 Crowd control] (CC) is a term used in MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) and MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) games to refer to the ability to limit the number of mobs actively fighting during an encounter. It also refers to abilities that influence or prevent the abilities or actions of other character(s). Crowd control is extremely powerful as it forces opponents to use a smaller set of abilities/actions, rendering an opponent nearly useless. In Card Hunter, CC is neither an offensive or defensive strategy. Instead it belongs in its own category and merits a separate discussion. In the context of a pvp map guide, we focus on terrain based forms of CC and present two useful examples centered around [[Cards/Wall of Stone|Wall of Stone]], [[Cards/Wall of Illusion|Wall of Illusion]] and [[Cards/Winds of War|Winds of War]].

 ===Wall of Stone (WoS)===
 [[Cards/Wall of Stone|Wall of Stone]] introduces up to three blocking terrains for a duration of two turns. TT is a great map for WoS.  The narrow restrictive paths make it easy to shut down lanes, areas and cut off retreat routes. The most obvious being the area around the victory terrain. Figs. 11, 12 and 13 show zoomed-in illustrations of the various uses.

 ===Defensive Positioning===
 {|
-| STYLE="vertical-align: center; text-align:justify;" align="left" |
+| STYLE="vertical-align: center; text-align:justify;" align="left" | Defensive map control is a risk averse approach to the game. It maximizes a party's effectiveness in combat through synergy and unit positioning, preventing flanking maneuvers and countering offensives. A basic tactic of defensive map control is defensive positioning utilizing available terrains, blind spots and ambush points to shut down the enemy. In TT, the easiest area to mount a defense from is right smack in the victory terrains. <br /><br /> The four corners of the <span style="color: orange">'''4x4'''</span> central area cover all eight pathways and penalize any enemies attempting to breach. Allied units occupying victory terrains can choose to hunker down and blockade enemies through defensive positioning, focus attacks, stall tactics and frustration play. To pull off a successful blockade, mouse-over enemies' move cards and observe their possible movement ranges. Position units accordingly to shut down their mobility. Leave gaps between units for pincers. <br /><br /> Figure 9 shows a defensive blockade for enemies attempting to breach from the right and bottom paths while figure 10 show the same for left and top paths. Over time, a defensive blockade can effectively shut down an enemy's gameplay options while gathering victory points. This forces your opponent to make rash decisions or foolish moves. The dark 'T' shaped area between the units show a pincer region. Enemies falling into this gap are flanked from all sides. [[Cards/Block|Blocks]] and [[Cards/Parry|parries]] become inconsequential.
