Righto guys,
This is so draft that its extremely unworthy, but I'm guessing some joint
work will sort it out post haste.  I won't bother commenting out the bits
that I think are ok, the bits that are bones, and the bits that hardly exist
at all - it seems fairly clear I think.
I have filled in about 70% of what I remember happening to and around Ahab,
and I am well aware that there will be bits I have forgotten, and quite
possibly bits I have repressed.  The plunge of the Saucy Sal still has me
waking in a cold sweat ;-)

I'm sorry about that, it worked out well nethertheless.

I have sketched in a missiony bit, but that's more down to James and PeterC,
and the Vill-Idge people could no doubt be better done, and I look to DavidL
to add some colour and movement there.  I settled on SHAG only because it
was on my mind at the time - I fully expect you guys will do much better.


Battle of Tank Stream
Stardate: umm,  longish in the future (4 June 2000)
<Big snip for bandwidth's sake>

I'll add my flavour bits as soon as I stop laughing. I had fun on the day but
it all seemed a bit of a blur. Seeing in print the edited highlights the
battle becomes really quite funny. I have a feeling that the next battle will
have preincarnations of Bond and Ahab on different sides of the table. (Shogun
Bondsai anyone?).

All in all I think I did as much damage to Ahab's force as I did to Boxer's.
The mech incident, the bombots thing, the dropping of a decent sized model
from head height and the whole leading into a death trap situation. Good thing
I didn't get among Pete's base, imagine the havok I could have wreaked!

James (who thinks next time we'll play on a table hmmm?)

(...) Almost too well! I'd hate to think of the resulting explosion if Sal had landed a couple of inches further on and had taken out the right-hand TL battery. Or the power station for that matter. Game over in a big way! (...) Me too. I had (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au.nsw.syd)
