Battle Report: Oasis @ Connector Cafe

This is the first of two battle reports.  We had enough players that we split into two tables using two different settings.  This also marks our first return to the Connector Cafe in two years.

Narbey (5 Frames & 20 Systems) = (7 Points per Asset) * (7 assets) = 49 points.  (Skitterers)

   White Soldier -- 2Rd/1B/1G/1Y/2W + SSR.
   Green Brawler -- 2Rh+d8/2B/1Gd8/2W.

Here's an aftermath picture.

Thoughts & Observations:

• This was Pete's first game in a year and a half.
• This was the debut of the Oasis table setting.
• I need a little more terrain for this setting.  The table was a little sparse.
• We also tried out a new rule with the exploding fuel dump.
• The edges of the green felt I cut for the oasis section didn't look that great.
• We were going to have the convoy progress across the table but we forgot to move it after the first turn.
• We had at least three people knock on the windows and ask what we were doing.
