Highlighting the January 3336 "KOTM" (King of the Mountain)
After the scrabble where we was supposed to use the Light Mechs (WarHorse and Nerio) we were back at having a unlimited contest,
Unfortunately, my wounds from the last contest was not yet fully healed, in fact several Mech parts was still embedded in me, and Bruno wanted them back.
Jorge did his best, and the parts was extracted. But I was totally bedridden and had to stay out of the contest.
But some friends made sure to get me notes and footage, so I could tell you, my faithful readers. that the winners this time had been:
- Div 1 205+ (34 Commanders): Fabio Favaro, Warlock (57s)
- Div 2 -204 (11 Commanders): Joshua Eifort, Northwind Dragons(57m,15s)
- Div 3 -152 (42 Commanders): Terry Harper, Northwind Dragons (1d,2m)
- Div 4 -112 (26 Commanders): David Sifford, Steampunk Dragons (6m,12s)
- Div 5 -92 (22 Commanders): Eric Simard, HF: Dragoons (6m,30s)
- Div 6 -75 (27 Commanders): Brian Wilson, Smurf War Patrol (7h,6m)
- Div 7 -60 (19 Commanders): Roy Cristofer, M.P.A. "Elite" (1h,28m)
- Div 8 -44 (13 Commanders): Baron Fish, T.B. 1st. K. Highlanders (18h,44m)

- Div 11 -18 (13 Commanders): Rick Sask, Night Hammers (13h,6m)
- Div 12 -15 (19 Commanders): Deborah L Fine, Sky (23h,45m)
Total Contestants: 263, Total medals claimed: 169 (of 180 possible)
The decline in contenders continued. One would have thought the return to unlimited formations would have made more Commanders flock to the tops, but 13 fewer showed up this time. The troops was too thin on the ground to claim all the medals on K2, K8, K9 and K11. A total of 11 Bronzes were sent for resmelting.
A trio of Golds changed hands the last half-hour, one of them the last minute. Six Gold were held for more than two hours, one of them for more than a day. Except for Mount Olympus fighting was pretty subdued all over. Number of medals held for more than 30 minutes in this event:
.............Silvers......Bronzes
Div 1 ....2 of 4.........1 of 10
Div 2 ....4 of 4.........6 of 6
Div 3 ....2 of 4.........6 of 10
Div 4 ....3 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 5 ....3 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 6 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 7 ....4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 8 ....3 of 4.........7 of 8
Div 9 ....4 of 4.........7 of 7
Div 10 ..4 of 4.......10 of 10
Div 11 ..4 of 4.........7 of 8
Div 12 ..4 of 4.......10 of 10
Of the total of 25 medals who got new holders, 12 was on Mount Olympus, and six of the tops had no successful medal attacks.
Northwind Dragons was the only multi Gold winning clan this time. They secured K2 and K3. No unaligned Commanders brought Golds home, and none of the Nerio winners managed to repeat their performances either
Upcoming event: Red Ant Blitz
Here we have another event featuring primary featuring a Mech, the Red Ant this time. Commanders are in addition allowed to use up to two other Mechs, the available models are WarHorse and Anzu.
Equipment and weapons work as normal.
Event ends June 9 between 1900 and 1930 New York Time.
Any fresh winners can try to get in touch to tell their story, the first to grab hold of me before the report is finished might get a few Niodes for sharing their thoughts.
