The Armored Combat Suit League of New England (ACSLNE) had its second succesful event this New Year's Eve. Just after sundown, while we could still see a little bit, we had round one of combat, which was held between veteran ACSLNE champion Captain T.W. and newcomer Shogun Knapp (thats me). TW fought in a sleeker box-built robot armor suit than last year's model, while my first-time suit was built from panels of heavy duck canvas covered with duct tape and then aluminum tape. TW definitely looked like a robot, whereas I looked like some sort of accident between a Samurai and an aluminum foil factory.
