HPG bills need to be paid after all.

[@techtonikshyft]

Aren't arm flips declared in the torso twist phase, though?

[@12crit]

100%! The example I was giving was in the part of the video where I was giving examples of how the Initiative Phase could affect choices made in the Weapon Attack Phase. I go more in depth on that in my Weapon Attack Phase video.

We're a bit further north, in the PNW. Just started playing some Alpha Strike recently. I really dig it.
