@dazedwit it is part of the journey. Have fun doing it your way and experimenting with unusual tactics. Your enthusiasm for the game is contagious and refreshing.

At some point you will start playing people better than you, get mad that you lose all the time, and then come back here to see what the top players use in their strategies. Then you find even better people and need to evolve to the next level, perhaps.

I still have fond memories of the Denver area meetup where we played OOB, ate pizza, and at some point yolo’d a big battle in the Pacific because someone wanted to get home.

Much more entertaining than the delicately balanced matches in the League, which seem to inevitably come down to a small miscalculation, or a massive 50/50 battle where someone gets lucky and wins.

I handled everything properly, but it would have been even better if I’d conducted it in a way that MARTI dice were not rolled at all.

Wouldn’t you know it the MARTI had a very different result than the one that counted on the forum

If it’s a bad look, I’m happy to talk about it but knowing you what amount I do, I think you understand. Still, I’ll feel better after I hear from you. To your credit, I know more than a couple of players who would have a meltdown.
