Yup, sounds like we are forced to do something like that. Too bad your brilliant strategy is not mentioned anywhere in the rules but instead learned through terrible experiences like this. Thanks for sharing your great idea!
It's not a brilliant strategy or anything, and I am not trying to throw salt in your wound. Just trying to give you ideas for the next time.
I know. I am not being sarcastic. I am just saying thanks for the great idea and i learned the hard painful way.
