Hey, I didn’t ask you if you wanted to scramble because I was practicing. It did go well for me, but 1. Oy, you might want to scramble. 2. The end state of a few units is not quite right.
So would you like to scramble? My dice rolls are there. You can do the 3 fighters here. I’ll wait. My apologies.
