An episode I was dreading for a while, but I think it came together ok. Actually compiling a units actions into a menu is a tricky process and this episode is more intermediate/advanced than some of the others have been. Hope you're able to follow along ok!

If you can get through this, the rest will be very very easy. So hang in there!
