Round 2

Thoughts & Observations:

• This was a Skirmish.
• It's been nine years since I used this squad but I did add a new Frame to it since it was used last.
• I probably should have put more thought into the composition of my squad but it worked okay.
• It was interesting watching the advantage shift to Phungkyjams at the end of the third beginning of the fourth round.
• The lead actually shifted multiple times during the game.
• And at one point there was a four way tie.
• This was a fun and challenging game.
