Thoughts & Observations:

• We DID use Single Shot Rockets.
• I think that everyone managed to use all of the SSRs in this game.
• I lost my first Station before the game even started.
• Both Tom and Occam's Spork tried new team compositions for this game.
• Things really broke loose in the second round with five frames being destroyed.
• Tom had the heavy hand when it came to Damage rolls.
• He dealt out 41 points of damage over 15 separate attacks.
