Thoughts & Observations:

• This was a Battle.
• We haven't used this table-setting since 2020.
• I made several strategic errors before the game started.
• I made several tactical errors while the game was being played.
• I wanted to test an idea I had for loadouts but it turns out I completely misremembered the loadouts I wanted to use.
• I got my butt stomped.
