Thoughts & Observations:

• This was the debut of this table-setting.  It still requires a little work before I'll be happy with it.
• It took us two hours to play the first turn.  We did have dinner during that time though.
• We hammered the clock at the end of the first turn because of that.
• We set up for a battle and it turned out to be just that.
• We had 23 Frames on the table at the start of the game.
• There was some interesting discussion about whom you're supposed to attack in a game.
• I coined the phrase, "Always punch up."
• I know Tom's frames took a little damage but I have no record of it happening.
• I stated the large frame pieces only took one Hit before being destroyed.
• I did some math after the game was over and figured that it should have been four Hits.
