Thoughts & Observations:

• This table setting has been tweaked from the last time it was used.
• Tom felt there wasn't enough actual Cover.
• It was a little tight for five players.
• This was another evening game and I felt like we were all a little silly.
• Maybe a lot.
• I should have set up all of my squad where I placed my Brawler frame.
• There's actually an inadvertent storyline here with one player bringing an Ijad squad.
