	Every enemy force has a '''strength''', which determines the number of foe cards it draws at the start of a [[battle]].

Every enemy force has a '''strength''', which determines the number of foe cards it draws at the start of a [[battle]]. Strength starts at a base of 4 for [[incursion]] armies and 3 for other forces. It is increased by +1 for each territory the force has [[infested]]. The strength of every enemy force usually also increases by 1 (sometimes 2) after each [[chapter]]. On Walking Lunch [[combat difficulty]], every enemy force has an additional +1 strength.
