All in all, jjdodger has not played Bauhaus much.  Therefore, his tactics lacked, a bit.  However, there were no jammed weapons, and there were very few shooting models in my force.  I, still, managed to get to CC, and was able to control the game from there.

The Vulkans fell victim to a bit of bad dice rolling, but there was some on the side of Cyber, too, and some miraculous saves made by Bauhaus in CC.  In all, the game was a victory for dmcgee1, as I not only defeated the force (and would have tabled it, in all likelihood, by the end of turn 6), but I got both VP's, as well.

So far, chalk one up for the Vulkans not being overwhelming.
