FT: Indy hits with many p-torps, history made!

	     This is an ISN Headline News Report

On the evening of October 30, 1998, one Indy met in reallife with one
Noam Izenberg to engage in a couple of FT battles. The first was a
NAC/ESU battle (see also http://scivax.stsci.edu/~kochte/s2.html) and
second one a NAC/NSL engagement (see also http://scivax.stsci.edu/
~kochte/s5.html). And while the NAC ended up losing both encounters
(the first one due to losing half the ships from reroll damage, the
second from not being able to hit all that often with beam weapons
early on), the NAC/Indy DID make history - and Noam Izenberg was there
to witness this event - as over the course of both games Indy, he who
cannot hit the broad side of a barn from the distance of 2 feet with a
baseball bat, hit with *7* out of **9** pulse torps!! Doing a total of
31 pts damage!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Indy actually hit with nearly 80% of his
p-torps, and was squeezing an average of 4.5 pts damage out of them
per hit. The p-torp die were kind to Indy that night. This is not the
second consecutive engagement Indy has had in RL where he hit with torps
(the first one being a month or so ago against J Atkinson & bro, but not
nearly that many torps were fired, and when they were, didn't do any
real
appreciable damage)

If the conquest of a great peak brings moments of exultation and bliss,
which in the monotonous, materialistic existence of modern times nothing
else can approach, it also presents great dangers.  It is not the goal
of
*grand alpinisme* to face peril, but it is one of the tests one must 
undergo to deserve the joy of rising for an instant above the state of 
crawling grubs.
