Tentative cuz I'm considering scrapping this whole chapter and writing it from a different PoV, because a lot of the first half doesn't really matter and the end bits would fit better in a different PoV. Dunno. I'll look at this again with fresh eyes and see if I can salvage, but if not, then we'll be down 1 chapter till i make it up.

So last chapter, I totally responded to a comment about how the duel wouldn't take all chapter and would totes be boring if it did today.
Cough cough.

Anywho, I updated all the prev chapters with edited versions and memes, and this one is even already edited and memed, so enjoy.

2019-05-05 23:56:08 +0000 UTC View PostTried for a commanders view of a battle rather than the zoomed in focus of one of the lower ranked officers. Lemme know your thoughts, as I don't do this often and am still unsure of the effectiveness. Especially time, that's a tough one to show while commanding battles, and i couldnt find more places to mark it.
