Turn 7 firing results are posted, and with that we find the Banshee is STILL alive! Now, he is prone and needs a 9 to stand, but should he manage to do that, he's still got most of his guns!! 
There was not a lot of action this turn save for the northwest part of the map, where Merl tried to take out the Banshee and failed, and Stinger07 leveled some more pain onto Merl. Both got a good amount of points with Stinger07 pulling further away from the field.
Where onto turn 8, and I really really want another destroyed 'Mech or two. Please don't disappoint me!

Turn 8 firing looks to be a tad interesting in that northwest quadrant! Unfortunately for Pinhead (and fortunately for the others), he fell on his back during his attempt to stand, and thus did not kill himself. So the points are still there for the taking!

You should be shooting at Stinger. He is going to trash you while you kill me. You have last damage on me. I'd be surprised to stand again.

Well, suddenly we're down to 6! Merl and Stinger07 skyrocketed up the leader board with a boatload of points. I know there are still a lot out there to be had, but Stinger07 is about 300 points ahead of the next living competitor. Here are some highs/lows from turn 8:
- Pinhead ALMOST survived another round. And he would have if it weren't for that last second pesky ammo explosion! And if you thought an ammo explosion was bad...
- But poor Ronin would have died from the first ammo slot hit, but for good measure, the first one triggered a secondary explosion! And you'd think that was the most glorious death of the round...
- Except for even worse off Merl, who managed to fall after being brutally assaulted. Then had his head kicked off by Stinger07. And not only was it kicked off, but he rolled a 12 for determining criticals, just in case there was ever a sliver of doubt.
- And of course, Stinger07 managed to roll four straight 12s: Kick location -> Check for criticals -> Piloting check for being kicked -> Avoid shutdown. So he's got that going for him!

Do I get style points for getting my noggin kicked in?
BTW ALL my weapons got destroyed without an ammo explosion. I specifically picked the Black Knight to avoid this. I want a refund.

One would think that the small laser in the head would at least be around! I guess when you go toe-to-toe with a Banshee, and then have a Hammerhands swoop into the fray, you don't come out looking too pretty!

I just thrilled I still have a leg. 2 Points of armor left on that baby.
Merl, you could have really done me in, and I am thankful you didn't I was hoping to just maybe crit your engine and blow and arm off. The head kick was just icing on the cake
I was afraid the Hammerhands' speed would be an issue. Nope, it is serving me very well...

I am paying so little attention to this game that until just now I didn't know my pilot and gunner scores...

I find it interesting that there have been five units destroyed in this game, and not one has been from the result of the usual "CT destroyed" method. With the last turn included, we now have three due to ammo explosions, and two due to head destruction! The only reason we didn't have a fourth due to ammo was because Stinger07 took ammo from the bin that was just hit!
The fun of 3025... Makes you realize just how important CASE is to the survival of your unit!
