Card idea: March to War (melee weapon related card)

That argument can be repeated for every deck that fights. Combat decks just kill eachother.

Melee weapons are bad because they cost the same amount of pool as ranged weapons, give no additional advantage (such as the maneuver on a gun) AND leave yourself open to hitback. On top of all of that they need deck infrastructure to actually be equipped too. Like, when you consider playing 6 Bang Nakh's and 6 Concealed Weapons, you might as well play 12 melee strike cards and have the exact same effect except it doesn't need 2-card combo's to work making it less fragile and not costing pool.

Many strike cards work at both ranges and/or aren't affected by immortal grapple. Melee are way less reliable it's unable to even be used fairy often.

I can't see a strike that work at range AND are unaffected by Immortal Grapple.

But that's true that the equipement destruction card are a bit too powerful for melee combat, since they already need to deal with maneuver without being cheaper than guns.

My bad, i was going to list other equipment hosers as well, not just immortal grapple.
