Bit of a short blog this week. Too much chorin' to be done!
Testing for ValleyCon?
So I took the Brigade Panthers out for a run and ho boy.
It was a pretty rough handling for clubmate Pat who was trying to make Jagdpanthers work and having already given that list up it validated that decision. Bulge Jagdpanthers are too pricey to make a list with enough fat to sustain any number of losses.

Sororitas!
