Summary

 

That was totally fun, if vassal would stop rolling so many bloody ones, the game would have been even bloody closer. I need to win turn 2 SR and didn't, but if I had the artillery would have had a field day, I would have hit the Shinning spears and the jet bikes. Lots of BM’s

 

 

Thanks Jeff for a interesting game…
