Ahh, I remember it well....it was my very first war, and my third event.  In 
the first battle, before we evened up the sides, I never even got close 
enough to the lines to see an opponent, much less strike one.  I was in the 
third wave, and the Aten troops were wiped out by the first one.  I knew 
absolutely no one at the war, had driven alone all the way across the state 
to get there and was beginning to get a bit discouraged after the first 
battle, but by the time it was all over had made many fine friends.
