Thoughts & Observations:

• This was a War.
• Frame counts are taken from this post.
• I forgot to put a compass rose on the table during set up.
• Out of 26 Frames, only six had Movement systems.
• There was no Station Dancing in this game.  It's only the eighth time it's happened in ten years of records.
• We had two implementations of the Rook Maneuver, one of them successful.
• Tom delivered 26 points of Damage this game.  Which is 37% of all the Damage done this game.
• There was a fair amount of Cover destroyed during this game.  The second most amount in any recorded game.
• We all tried our best to dislodge Phungkyjams from the lead position in the waning moments of the last Round.
