Hi all, I’d be down to play any of the three games, though I have no experience with PtV.

Thank you gamerman, I have already read the rules to avoid wasting other people’s times, but I appreciate you directing me to it regardless.

You have a point MuddSlinger, everyone starts somewhere. I’d be down to start a PtV game with you.

Good point, you choose casualties before rolling defense. And likely even with my bad attack rolls you would’ve played it safe, and chosen the slightly more valuable but worse defenders the cruisers first. Having no idea how bad or good your defensive rolls would be.

L24 PTV nikola1975 (X+8) over Hythem (A)

Match ended lightning fast because of a major blunder round 1 and a backfired risk fight shortly after. Well played.
