Good luck this season!
Definitely an important design consideration, and something we're definitely used to dealing with as we've done 4 events before DCMP the past 2 seasons (as Schreiber pointed out).

We focused a ton on making our defense crossings happen, but making them as least violent as possible. Going over half of a rampart, and being able to fit inside the moat make for some smooth transitions. We're hoping the pain of designing to this small size will pay super long dividends as the year goes on.
