Turn 7 Results - Solaris VII - 3 Lakes Valley

Ben Garfath bows out this turn, as Yoshi Tanaga's Dervish (Ben#16) is skillfully drilled through the centre torso by Big Joe Duke with a little help from Jesse#5 (unfortunately no points for the assist). Not all the damage is one way, as Yoshi performs an alpha strike, hitting with LRMs at point-blank, stripping armour from various locations & torching the surrounding woods AGAIN with inferno's. Big Joe is only 2 heat points from an ammo explosion, so pilots are advised to stay well clear.

Graham Paddock (Daniel#2) gains cover behind a ridge from Lt Felicity Bowain (Wayne#3), unfortunately backfiring, as Felicity hits his head with a Md laser & 2 SRMs, causing unconsciousness, but doesn't quite penetrate.

Little Joe Duke (Joe#10) loses an arm to weapons fire, but jumps away before further damage can result... right into the sights of Red O'Conner & Sean O'Mally (Brian#13 & #14), who both also jumped in the same direction to avoid the surviving heavies.

Joe Duke is currently leading the table, with 104 points from the mission kill of Ben#16. Which is surprising, as 4 players have concentrated their firepower on his 'mechs for most of the game.
Wayne Pollerd is second on 77 points, but may increase quickly if Graham Paddock fails to regain consciousness.
Paul Frigo is third on 28 points from his accidental self kill.
No one else has currently scored any points.

Turn 8 orders due Saturday 20th June 1998.

Turn 9 due 27th June & Turn 10 will be run the week of 6th July (with a twist I'll let everyone know after turn 9, turn 10 movement WILL be important).
