A quick drum change is in order.

Eindekker moves. Last again Mr Smiley is getting ready to pose nude for "the Nun and the Hun."
captainquincyToday at 15:25
I sold him that wimple last year. It didn't fit him then.
Dave FToday at 15:26
Drum change noted. The way I play this with a DH2 or any pusher is at the end of any turn. (Well now is ok) an se5 takes a whole turn.
captainquincyToday at 15:27
OK, I'll do it in lieu of a move this time.

He surely did. He gets one last chance...

The DH2 shoot card comes out next. Usually it's bad form but my time with the Yankee German ace taught me that it's often necessary to shoot a spinner!
