Annotated 48-40
Hmm, we need an image here…sometimes this is a lot easier to decide than other times. Let’s…just use the storming of the Bastille, shall we? Not that Robespierre’s movement is the best thing we could be visually comparing our heroes to, but it sure ain’t the worst, if you know what I mean.
Magda and Fr’Nj sure are earning their MVP medals here, literally beating a path to the enemy’s door, even though Fr’Nj is still sort of a pacifist and Magda’s probably the closest thing to one that the Rebellion has. Even as Iwatanian strategy has devolved into near-senseless violence.
FB: No matter how far back you put your base or how clever you are about it, there’s only so long you can prolong a game of “Red Light, Green Light.”
I mean, they are forcefully pushing those soldiers aside but other than that, they are getting off easy. Easier than the few ones left in the middle, at any rate.

Today, storming the palace of “Iwatania” invites memories of the January 6th riots.
With one key difference.
In former Gastonia, the Deep State really exists.
Isn’t that the Silhouette Scipio in the first panel, right between the red and green, kicking a soldier in the but while smoking his cigar?
Didn’t notice him until giving it a closer look.
oh wow, that certainly does look like him — except we were told that he stopped smoking. Maybe he picked that up again together with his shield and sword?
I could see him picking up the stogie again to get back into his old mindset.
Could be him, although he’s lacking his shield. It could also be a relatively hefty goblin or troll, since most of them seem to have that general hair style.
Meh, on second thought, it’s almost certainly him. He’d definitely be between Fr’Nj and the enemy, and he could have just lost his shield during the action.
