AC MOA Tournament Wrap Up

Well the 2001 AC MOA tournament has come and gone.  And with that comes a new champion.  Last year Dayne got third and I was the winner.  This year Dayne and I practiced and tried to modify our Mechs to hammer out any weaknesses.  I was trying to find a weapon that could hit the fast mechs (Like Dayne uses), and Dayne was looking for a way to take out the big heavy armored mechs (Like I use).  Well Dayne certainly found what he was looking for.  He was able to crush Venom (from last years tournament.)   It was then that I had a pretty good idea that he would win.  When Jamie showed up with his mech I knew he would do good as well.  He had a big mech much like Venom, but he had a big dual missile launcher in the back.  (One that takes up both back slots.)   This would prove to be quite effective in taking on faster mechs.  (I'll have to try it myself sometime.)  He also had the Karasawa, (something I don't like to use due to only 50 shots.)  This would be a good enough design to take second.  The surprise to me was Victor's design.  He had only an energy machine gun and a laser sword.  This would prove to be enough to get the job done though, as his tactics and piloting skills were great for this fast mech.   Over all the competition was great, and I look forward to next year.

Congrats to Dayne for being the first person to win two of Game Hits tournaments.
