Summary

 

Well that was a interesting game, apart from the ones rolled by the IH player. I was thinking that the HARVESTER ENGINE by it self may be a bit thin on the ground and so pop most of the off board stuff onto the table,by turn 2 to give it support... We will try and take the lists out again some time this week hopefully..For another run and see want the result is..

 

Regards
