BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)

actually, it might depend on your other moves too. If the US has any other significant moves on the europe side of the board, there is a chance I would reconsider that.

@gamerman01 all good and I’m not concerned that you asked in advance. I think it is often not going to be an issue and it can speed up the game. It just occurred to me that I should see the full move in the event I want to save that air for something else. I don’t think that is likely though and I expect to want to scramble.

@gamerman01 sorry for the delay. Full scramble.
