Thoughts & Observations:

• We continue our streak of having at least one ramming attack per game.  Tom's Sister made up for Stevenik's absence.
• I went with all Frigates for maneuverability and to bid for Defender position. My strategy was to run away.  It worked for half a turn.
• We may play the next session with Frame Companies but without Boarding rules.
• We had the same table, and the engagement area didn't seem as claustrophobic.
• Once again we ignored the terrain placement rules.
• The only time Point Defense weapons got used was with White Dice by a mostly destroyed ship.
• I like this version of the game and hope we play it again.
