Thoughts & Observations:

• This was a Skirmish.
• We used the Neutral Station rule.
• Frame counts are taken from this post.
• Since we had a three people come in at 5 Frames/18 systems we rolled for Defender position.
• Chuck won and decided to be Defender rather than have us add or subtract a Frame.
• I wanted to wait a little longer to make my move for the Defender position but after I captured the Data Dog station in the middle of the Second Round I had to go all in.
• In the Third Round I had one functioning Weapon System left in my squad so I got into Cover where I could and kept my head down, trying to ride out all the attacks coming my way.
• This was the debut of this table-setting.
• We decided that each 2x2 Duplo Brick is 1 Hit.
• Each 2x4 Duplo Brick is 2 Hits.
• Each 2x2x2 Duplo Round Brick is 2 Hits.
• The Lower Bridge sections are 6 Hits after the first arch, and only count as Cover after that arch.
• The Upper Bridge sections are 12 Hits.
• The Arch Span sections are 4 Hits each.
• The Tunnel Mouth is 16 Hits.
• I really need to make a Compass Rose for this table-setting.
