Interesting day of playing an actual boardgame - and while I enjoyed it, it was not what I had envisioned.

In fact, I am much more interested in this TripleA version than any other game!

And maybe I got old, but playing in person is just not what it once was...

@trout

you just have to be very deliberate about it. Double check if not triple It's basically a FtF setting for selecting casualties when in edit.
