So we’re getting a bit far afield from the original playtest idea – instead of the Gibraltar stack, you did a conventional Taranto raid, and after two turns of building mechs, you built all slow movers on R3. I saw that you posted some new opinions on the main thread about mechanized Russia, and it sounded a bit like you had already made up your mind.
What’s your interest level in continuing this playtest? What are you hoping to learn or otherwise achieve?
