Here are the character assignments. Ed and Richard volunteered to play the Indians.

Since both sides are alerted, all communication for now may be private. As always, once set up begins communications must be public. Side B set up will be due next Monday giving both sides 6 days to strategize. For set up, "within six hexes of the east edge of the map." is row P on board H.

Good luck all!!!

Next deadline: Side B set up begins Monday, March 13 at 4pm EST/9pm UTC

That was short and not so sweet for the indians.
There is a Post-Showdown forum on Redscape for any that wish to post their thoughts.
I really wasn't prepared for this to finish so fast, although in hindsight I should have been.
I don't have time today to work on the next showdown. But you can still let me know if you're
going to play and if you have any suggestions. Mine will be the usual tournament every man for
himself, another 5 on 2 and maybe a brawling or a 4 on 3 one.

Thanks all, it was fun as always even if quick.
