    Texas Cage Match Results summary:
    Last Man Standing - USS Missouri, Don Payne Commanding
    Next to last, DKM Altmark, Thomas Scruggs Commanding
    Third to last, USS Jeremiah O'Brien, Rob Fristrom Commanding, but on autopilot.
    First to succumb this year, DKM Lutzow.
    Captain Duffy took the liberty of removing his stern battey and replacing it with the new protype Morgret Gun we were testing (looks like Strike has between 7 and 14 spoken for down here in a variety of .177 and 3/16" calibers, both twins and triples) to give it a field test in acutual combat. Remember, in Texas Cage Match, usually, after the first reload, the ROF restrictions are removed and the fast cycling Morgret Gun should have proven really useful. It was set up for 3/16" ball bearings, but was loaded with .177, his allowed caliber (this is not uncommon in Big Gun, though the guns do lose hitting power. Unfortunately, Richelieu got mined by the port barrier, and the wind kept pushing him out of position so that the guns were facing out of the cage, so he had few good firing solutions. I am not wure how many hits he got with them, if any. However, he reports the guns working flawlessly throughout the engagement, and he wants 3 triples in .177, so what more is there to say?
    Cheers,

    Wreno, its really cool to see whats going on and how NABGO is going, one day I would like to be able to head down there myself, but do you think you could make a single NABGO Updates and Information thread rather than a new one each day? :/

    I first read that as Texas Cage Mast and I thought I had missed some important news.
