Anyway, game is over and hopefully won’t start the next for a bit,

It’s a tournament and I advanced to the next round so finishing that game didn’t lighten my load. Probably made it heavier, I’m playing the premier rules expert and Classic super-fan The_Good_Captain next.
Then I hope to win 2-0 against the grizzled veteran who bounced me to the loser bracket after my luftwaffe BLANKED against a fleet in the North Sea. It was still possible to win, but I didn’t want the horrific grind of shucking endless infantry from UK and USA
