Tim parked both Johnny Alpha (with two heavy objects on either side of him) in the bushes and Taskmaster (now with outwit) in the bushes.  No more healer, only one perplexer, no running shot (Stealth and bushes= doesn't really matter) so we had to take it to them and hope for the best.  Spiral was taken out trying to get at Taskmaster as she ate two motorcycles thrown by Johnny Alpha and Firelord was rattled also.Once Taskmaster went down I saw the time 12:30am and after 5 hours of game play Tim and Sean conceded (if only to see Predator 2 on TV)So Cathy and I won but it wasn't pretty and I felt like a newbie at the game.Proof my son is watching, listening and learning from what I do with the game.Most important, we all had fun, even Sean whom decided Sentinels were not as much fun after all.  Bigger doesn't equal better.....</blockquote>
