Battle Report: Teslaville 5

This was supposed to be a five player game that ended up being a three player one.  I broke out the Teslaville setting so a player could try it for the first time but they ended up not being able to make it.

Stevenik (3 Frames & 12 Systems) = (7 Points per Asset) * (5 assets) = 35 points.
   Orange Artillerist -- 2Ra+d8/2B/2W + SSR.
   Green Watchtower -- 2B/1Gd8/2Y/2W + SSR.
   Beige Tank -- 2Rd+d8/2B/2W + SSR.

Me (4 Frames & 16 Systems) = (5 Points per Asset) * (6 assets) = 30 points. (Hunters)

   Red Hammer -- 2Rd/2B/1Y/2W + SSR.

   Green Hammer -- 2Rd/2B/1Y/2W.

   Blue Hammer -- 2Rd/2B/1Y/2W + SSR.

   Yellow Hammer -- 2Rd/2B/1Y/2W + SSR.

Tom (5 Frames & 19 Systems) = (3 Points per Asset) * (7 assets) = 21 points.
   Orange Recon by Fire -- 2Ra+d8/2Y/2W.
   Pink Recon by Fire -- 2Ra+d8/2Y/2W.
   White Brawler -- 2Rh+d8/2B/1Gd8/2W + SSR.
   Green Brawler -- 2Rh+d8/2B/1Gd8/2W + SSR.
   Brown Light Recon by Fire -- 2Ra/2Y/2W.

Thoughts & Observations:

• Not sure I've got that much to say about this game.
• Except it's interesting how fast three players who've known each other for several years can play.
• We ended up calling this the "Game of the Excluded Middle".
• We forgot to move the train!
