Card 19: Ceremony
I got caught with the other ceremony card in my hand, so I am forced to lose a man from one of my families. I choose family C since they aren't involved with attacking the missions. I choose to discard.
Card 20: Ceremony
Ouch, another man is lost. Family D in Shiprock is affected. Once again, I discard.
Card 21: Operations
I can't preempt. The enemy expands missions in four territories, reducing my culture to 1. I choose planning, mostly to get a man back into the passage of play box. My elders reduce the ferocity of Family E, but that is it. I decide to use this planning phase to attack the Utes. I see the major event will acquire firearms, so I decide to use mine in the battle. I also use the ceremony card in my had to roll a "1" for the Utes in the battle. I achieve a major victory, which increases my military, and also causes the Utes to back off. Unfortunately, the enemy is coming to try and collect slaves.
