  1. Many trees died to bring you this information.

    That's a great board! I'm somewhat surprised there wasn't more damage to the buildings, just the trees.

    1. There were a lot of targets out in the open and the others were fairly easy to maneuver around to get clear shots. It seems to happen a lot with my group.
