well, we managed the repeat!
congrats to bennybladez, persianempire, and poohcrumbs for the epic final series. the first two were decided pretty quickly and split one-and-one. the final between me and benny went back and forth for 21 rounds before i finally managed to pull it out. (discovered that sneaky so-and-so had a three card set worth 50 troops when i finally eliminated him, so thank God it happened when it did!)
Thanks to HA for another flawlessly run and thoroughly enjoyable tournament!!!
