From e62d4c118f9dd03bf56080ec8026d60258b0a54f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wagoner Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 19:20:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Record board dimensions (7.5in square) and absence of errata sheet Owner-measured: sector boards are 7.5in to a side (1.5in per space); no errata sheet in the 6e box. Closes the physical checklist except the optional counter-sheet inventory.
