Board Game Arena

I'm having trouble playing the Bishop's Tactic in the game...

It seems that the way the game is coded, you have to select a particular move first, then the system works backward to show that you've played a coin face-up or face-down (etc). Well, I can't play a Bishop coin (up or down) before declaring what I'm going to do with it.

I'm trying to play the Bishop's tactic -- when I click on the Bishop coin, I'm only seeing the following highlighted:
- The Depolyed Bishop (if I wanted to bolster it)
- The various coins I can recruit (which sadly only lets me recruit, and NOT then continue on with the Bishop's tactic of 'move/attack'.
- The initiative coin (if I wanted to claim initiative)

Someone tell me what I'm missing and/or what I can do!

Tactics are Maneuvers and Maneuvers like Move, Attack are triggered by clicking on the coin on the Board (on hexes) and not the one in your hand ( on the edge of the Board ).

You can read this on the Tooltip too...

Yes, but this has to happen after a Recruit action for the Bishop. When I do this, this is when the further options disappear.

No, it's not a Recruit action,
it's a Tactic action where you are allowed to recruit...

Just click on the Bishop on the Hex and look down: halos appear to allow you to recruit.

NOW I see...

You first click on the Deployed Bishop... Then you'll see the recruitable coins highlight. After clicking on one of those to recruit them, then you can see the move/attack options on the board. ... It's not as intuitive as you'd think, yet now seems straightforward enough! Thanks

very first line on the tooltip...

some people prefer buttons and menus everywhere: I do not.
