Summary

 

Well I think the IH player learn not to assault the HARVESTER ENGINE.. He was given a hand with me not making saves, but also he didn't roll as many ones as last game. So that really help the shooting too. Other wise a enjoyable game.. although losing 750 points in turn two was not good….OK this was our 99th game and so next week..We are doing a 90000 point game, so only 1 report next week…...
