Masochism?  :-D

Just kidding, GGs all around!

Even though the alternate set-up is a chore, I really do enjoy these games more… The map gets more action in far-flung places, both sides have to make plays they normally wouldn’t, there are new opportunities and risks.

I think we’re ready to publish this variant!

Thanks for helping with the playtest, C
