My wife and I take turns at controlling a pilot in the UK games of CTF 2187,
run by Rhann Games. She is just coming to the end of a game in which four of
the oppositions 9 bots have been destroyed (or ejected) and on the current
turn at least 1 and possibly 3 more will die. Her side has lost only one bot.

The one bot on the winning side who died was the only one who wasn't treating
it as a team game. The major strategy seems to be gang up on the opposition.
Our pilot (in a REAVR-2S) and one other REAVR pilot have taken out one REAVR
and finished off one TITAN in this game (dished out 300 VPs of damage and
taken 80 between them!). This game has shown that working together is the best
way to win. One strategy to use is to be in a bot with Battle Fist and get in
there and use it! It does a wonderful amount of damage.
