Hehehe, I was not quite there yet for those novas, but they sure got my 
attention!  I think it was Aron and Dom who got a taste of those!  It
was 
Noam's sniper-artillery that was crunching me.	Man what a wallop!

BTW I had a lot of fun in my first vector match.  It is radically
different 
from anything I have ever done before.	Many thanks to Brian for letting
a 
greenie in on the action.  He deserves a round of applause as well for
all 
the work he has put into it.  The Cygnus Proving Grounds PBeM was a
blast for 
me!
