I came so close this turn to using all of my options. If only Twitch had stepped in front of the Scrambler.

I'm trying to stay clear of the bot that can rotate and backup 3 squares all in one phase...not to mention the various weapons. Reminds me of the board game OGRE. You're the OGRE. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5206

The map in first column, second row seems to be a dupe of 1,1. Looking at earlier posts, it should be

And a minor item from the score board - Proximity Mines should be down to 2.

Boards have been corrected, my tracking of the scoreboard has been updated. Thanks for the catches.

Don't the conveyors go red/blue, then blue? If so, then the red conveyor dumped Twonky on blue which should in turn shift W and rotate clockwise.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 7:07 pm

Current plan is to send out cards next week before New Year's for an approximate run date of 01/07/10.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Wed Dec 23, 2009 11:22 am

Sweet. I'll be on the road from tomorrow through the 31st. That'll give me plenty of nap time before assembling a turn where I *don't* dive into a pit

My idiot brain thought the pusher was going to push me on phase 2 and I was going to end up further north on the same map. If I could borrow Twonky's frog legs or if he lays a bridge over the pit in front of me, I'm golden. Just didn't expect to be where I am.
