Battle Report: Neue Regel 11

This is our seventh game of Rapid Attack, as a group, this year.  We had a new player for this game.  This game basically came together in the last few days before the weekend arrived.  After the "Measuring Hell" of the last game, I  opted to put something simpler and more old-school on the table.

Stevenik (4 Frames & 16 Systems) = (7 Points per Asset) * (6 assets) = 42 points.

   Blue Tank -- 2Rd+d8/2B/2W + SSR.
