Patriotic Crimea: The Second Scythe Banned Combination - The Mill

Welcome to The Mill! Rusviet Industrial stood as the only banned faction / mat combo for years until Stonemaier Games rocked the Scythe world with the announcement of a new banned combo. That combo is Patriotic Crimea. While it does require more situational awareness than Industrial Rusviet, it’s still largely formulaic and you can map the first 12 turns that will certainly give you a very good chance at victory.

I decided to break out Scythe Digital Edition and test this combo using a few posted game reports to identify a pretty idea first 12 turns.. Let's see whether or not this combination really deserved a ban. I have a full playthrough, and a second game where I jump in at Round 16.
