Regardless of how inconsequential the battle was to my survival; winning against TienChi in one tiny instance, regardless of how stacked it was in my favor, has made this game worthwhile.
In retrospect, I should have remembered to take my units off of hold and attack, but I can't complain; My god somehow managed to survive.
Thanks for letting me live long enough to at least learn something about the game, Frank. you can stop holding back now and take the rest of my stuff if you'd like.
