I used some bugs in the program to gain Khan position for Jade Falcon (Firemoth<?> vs. a Marauder and a Dire Wolf? ALL RIGHT!!!). By getting very close to one of the obstacles, and luring your opponent (on the opposite side of the structure) to do the same, you can sometimes fire THROUGH the obstacle to hit your target. Seemed fair - with priority problems, my foe eventually seemed to walk THROUGH the corner of the structure anyway. By that time, my little medium lasers had robbed the Dire Wolf of both of his arms, and had barely put his torso in early yellow. I just had to rush him, and then fire almost straight up to nail him. Sure, my mech was barely standing after taking damage from the resulting explosion, but I won. Jay
