@surfer said in BM Surfer (L+15) vs Farmboy (X):

@farmboy Ok. This is a crazy game. I’ve put practically every land unit I have Southern Europe!

yeah this is pretty wild. I don’t think I have seen this number of land units this concentrated ever before. We might be looking at some battles with 400+ units involved in the end game.

Ok…we’ve exceeded 400+ units. I’m going for 280 units in N. Italy alone. Looking closer to 600+ unit battle. Not really sure how this is going to work out, as I don’t see how anyone is going to be able to attack.
