    battle report from Mark Roe:
    Results of 10MAY14 battle at Potters Rd, Saranac, MI.
    After a long cold winter the weather was great! The pond is in great shape. No weeds, clear water. Kas will build a launching dock. Eight feet wide, four feet out into the water. The property owner is onboard with the idea. The owner asks for $5 per captain per day to use his pond.
    Mark---VDT
    Kas — Invincible
    Will--- Pennsylvania and Westfalen
    John (Will’s son) Michigan

    First sortie had VDT and Invincible vs Westfalen and Michigan. Westfalen sank. It’s pump was running but would not prime reliably. All others survived the sortie. Westfalen rudder servo replaced during the break. Same ships launched for the 2ndsortie. Westfalen went out of control, and was withdrawn. Pennsylvania was launched with a camera aboard. VDT attacks trying to stay in camera view. Michigan sinks, dry box leaks, it’s done for the day. Pennsylvania exhausts its ammo and survives. VDT and Invincible finish exchanging BB’s.
