PTV MuddSlinger (X+9) vs ArtofWar1947 (A)

@Ghostglider I have some thinking to do. This will probably take a few days as I’ll be out of town this weekend.

Dice in Szechwan doing their best to make up for the battleship debacle

yeah i had 100% odds and decent average tuv on india, but when you offered the russian stack as a sacrifice and also chinese stack was trapped, i kinda felt it’d be better if i first wiped those fronts out… that way i could have more of a focused front going forward. not sure if that was the best choice but seemed right to me at least
