Here's a few pictures of the aftermath.

Thoughts & Observations:

• Our group has now played more games this year than any previous year.
• This was the debut of Tyler's new squad made from Mega Bloks.
• It was also the debut of of my new squad made from Kre-O.
• Which I finished right before the game started.
• I made a mistake when I set up my forces that may have cost me the game.
• Although my horrible dice luck may have had something to do with that too.
• I did more damage with that insta-kill in the third round than I did in the rest of the game.
• There was some debate after the game was over about the amount of cover on the battlefield and the access level to the train tracks themselves.
• This is only the second time we've had three different building block systems on the table at the same time.
