Gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart that I must report the Dracs have taken the King's colors. I'm not going to do a full batrep because I don't have the energy and the whole thing was too depressing to relive in full, but the highlights include Hagman missing almost every single shot he took, despite having fantastic numbers all game long (his worst TN for his gauss rifles the entire game was an 8). Despite spending 2 entire tons of gauss ammo, he only landed 5 slugs. I was regularly missing on 5s and 6s. Harris got decapitated on turn 3 by a clantech ERPPC from a Grand Dragon 12k (the enemy lance MVP for sure), and the only thing I actually managed to Kill was when Sharpe landed an LB20X slug into the enemy Phoenix Hawk PLS that tore off the right torso. Patrick Harper was my MVP, landing a fair number of his shots, including a TAC SBGR BB to the PHawk's lower leg and hip actuator as well as one to the gyro. But he was the second victim of the Grand Dragon, having his stil mostly intact armor slab ignored as the thing put all its firepower into his right torso, killing his ride via XL engine death.

I don't think I did anything hugely wrong in terms of positioning or play, sometimes, the dice just fucking hate you.
