Summary

 

Yep short and sweet…Oh well..might try the same list on Thursday. The TS player thought he had no chance on winning, even on count back, he was 850 and i was 200 at that point and he was down 3 or 4 activations. I would have played on and see. Since the game can sometimes be very surprising…
