L24 BM4 Fasthard (X) vs Amon-Sul (L+24) Game 2

@Stucifer RE: bloodbath…wow!

Re: scramble for sub/transports. That’s what I thought the rule was, but the game asked for a scramble option so I thought maybe something had changed since I played last. It hadn’t come up in @mikawagunichi 's game.

Normally I have a lot of discretionary time…
Today I just met my biggest deadline of the year, and my pace has picked up a bit,

but as a playoff game this is my highest priority game and I won’t slow down too much I don’t think

I’m concerned about the Russian stack stepping on the backs of my jackboots, but I don’t wake up in a cold sweat about them. Yet.

My army is thrilled they moved South from Stalingrad, but not too happy about the middle eastern topography either.

Didn’t Alexander the Great get bogged down in India? It’s a big place.
