Knights barely win!

Was a really fun game, i believe i made a mistake with place my Blitz where it was and i had horrible rolls with my rallying. My opponent played a great game and we both had a lot of fun. He has played my Knights before and understands while They are great on the charge, If you are engaging them you definitely have the upper hand.

I plan to get another game in soon and will try and do another report then, but more in depth and with better pics.

Thanks for the report!!
