In summary ... the Bluebirds got spanked!!!

Here's a couple scoring highlights:

Deadeye - Steve Tyng proved that an invulnerable gun in the middle of 
the field can dominate the game, scoring 18 hits in both games.  He also 
proved that the Navarone Gun is incredibly accurate and reliable. (A 
rule change is in the works ...)

Positive Fighting Force - Chris Wacker has graduated to the rank of "net 
positive" player, earning more hits than given in the second battle of 
the day (his 4th career battle - which is about average for the hobby).

Aging Tiger - The venerable T001 performed so badly that it scored 
-4,000 net points for the day ... time to work on my own vehicle :-(

Good News / Bad News - Paul Pittelli's KV-1 worked flawlessly all day 
without any mechanical problems, but for the second time in his career 
he was destroyed 5 times in one battle (a record he holds jointly with 
Steve Tyng).

Just Keeps Going - The M520 Goer has now made more supply runs (85) in 
more battles (14) by more operators (7) than any other support vehicle. 
  Not bad for a truck built from scrap and surplus materials.

Red and Blue Don't Mix - The Red Army KV-1 and SU-100 scored a combined 
+2,750 net points in the first battle when opposing the Bluebirds, but 
scored -2,000 net points in the second battle when on the Bluebird team.

Working 24/7 - Marty Hayes and Rick Schultz will be burning the midnight 
oil to complete their own tanks in time for the late summer battle. 
Although they both scored well during these battles, it's just not the 
same as driving your own tank around the field trying to stay alive.
