L12 - Soul (allies) vs Yoshi (axis) ; +11 bid

[Yoshi]

@souL:

I’ve gotten pretty lucky during turns 1 and 3 yet I do not feel comfortable.  With all my luck the TUV and IPC count is dead even.

This game looks like very undecided to me at this time. I think you made several very nice moves up to now, but some tiny “mistakes” (not really mistakes I believe, more a non 100% optimized strat if you see what I mean, or maybe good counter on my side ?) enabled me to stay in the game. But we can discuss more about that later on (like after the game ^^) if you want :)

[souL]

drop the ftr.  wow, what is going on with me?  Sorry.  I’d love to talk about it with you afterword, thank you.

[Yoshi]

well… I feel like I need to gamble a little… but not confident with the last results ^^
