| What a way to break in a new table. The fight for the rear objective was much closer than it looks with the engineers being pinned multiple times. There was more fighting going on on the road but I could not find the pictures. We stopped taking many pictures at the end since it was a weeknight and it was getting late. Thanks again to my buddy Peter to taking the pictures and being a great player. |
