Re: How to tell how the battle is going?

Re: To the Roundtops

I am so pleased to read this thread. I'd been struggling with it - not even got near to the points for a major defeat - and thought it was just me laying it very badly. Hopefully one I've absorbed all of the comments I can have another crack at it and do a little better. It is a great scenario
