“I paid for my good luck last game in this one, that's for sure.

Jake didn't miss a dodge the whole game. Meanwhile, I failed five times (with dodge, no tackle). I was down my main mecha, so that hurt, and couldn't knock his mino down except twice (with claw), and his troll once, and not one stun. Didn't have a casualty until the 16th turn, and that was with a -slave-. 5 TDs and one half, for six total rolls against an 8 for his remaining saw (first one was tossed on a foul, thank the gods for VERY small favors), and it was never tossed. And, to top it all off, my FF went down. All around, a horrid game. I knew it was going to be a recovery with three guys out, including the mecha, but I didn't expect a dice rape as well.

Apo'd a BH'd mecha, and that probably kept the score closer than it would have been. He soaked up some mino hits, and that kept the casualties lower than they would have been.

(Okay, I should note some actual "good" rolls I had. I did dodge with the mecha, and I think I got a pushback. The sharpshooters were really on today. Two completions, with catches, no RR needed. So it wasn't an all-in-all BAD game. I suppose you could say it was the missing at the times I really needed it to function.)”
