Known Errors and Clarifications
- In some cases I was showing 20 minutes worth of cards for a turn. Technically I should have done a Challenge card and two 5-minute moves, as you can only have 15 minutes worth of cards chosen at the start of a turn.
- In Adairsville, I rolled two 6s for the Confederate attack. This should have killed Andrews as one of the six casualties. I missed this, prolonging Andrews life by a few seconds. :)
