@crockett36 said in crocket36 (Allies+39) vs Simon33 (X) OOB:

@cwglee51 Good game to you! I appreciate you poking holes in my strategy. There were definitely some things I’d overlooked.

And it appears that the future isn’t too terribly far away! We seem to be matched in the first round of the playoffs. I’ll pm you an opening bid.
