Campaign Paradiso - Ariadna Impressions 9

This past Friday, I squared off against Endalyon yet again, this time in Mission 302.  We've both been noticing that for whatever reason, we almost always end up paired off together after the initial round.  This must mean something, but I really have no idea what. Anyway, on to the mission!  We rolled a very reasonably scattering of Crash Coffins, with only one side being slightly favoured.  Endalyon won the initiative roll, so I quickly snatched up the "better" side to dull the inevitable pain of the first turn advantage.  And what a pain it was...
