Summary
 
That was a fun and interesting game, and it could have gone to turn 4… As a side note this is game two..Game one was quick in that the Strike cruiser came on and then found out he was 55 cm’s to long on dropping his load and so all the drops sites were off the board… the first wave had a few hundred mile to walk back to the battle field…
