Summary

 

Thanks for the game Matt..most enjoyable.

 

Over all the plan was to try and stop the Orca coming in and taking the Blitz. I guess it worked since he didn't bring it in till the third turn and not on the Blitz. As for the rest, well that didn't got to plan and in the last turn, I lost few activations. If I had shot his Orca down and rally my broken formation, than we would have went to turn 4..I still think he would have won the game, on goals..

 

Regards
