Great report, as usual. Very interesting. It sounds like a case of you playing the cards you’re dealt with rather than accumulating the cards you want! Aside from the German artillery, you’re not in too much danger in the sea, so you can use the early rounds to scrap cards as needed and get the ones you would prefer to have. It does seem like a tough task because of the low medal goal, and I’m curious to know how round 2 goes with 12 medals. Would you consider an uneven goal maybe, with different goals for each side?
I have to ask about your landing craft… do tell!
