My youngest son and I finally got to go head to head with the starter set in two back to back battles.
1) I piloted the Martian pod and he the N16. He came straight in and quickly got a photograph. A quick burst of the heat ray and I singed his tail feathers as he did quick turn over the top of my craft. A quick chase ensued and I burned him out of the sky (literally, he caught fire) fractions of an inch before he got off the board.
2) We switched sides and we tried another round. I tried to be cagey by doing an end run around him to get a photo from behind. After flying circles around the pod (and getting in one gun shot that scored 0 points and jammed my guns) I managed to take a quick photo. As I ran around the edge of the board he kept cutting me off pouring heat ray after heat ray into me. Finally he downed my craft. The photo below shows my damage from end to beginning:
Yes, the deck was shuffled; four times!
Fun game and looking forward to the next one.
