At least your daughter was concerned enough to come in to see you were OK after hearing your reaction.

My bad, Mike, Dan's pointed out that's not in the TnT cannon rules & checking them again he's right !
It should be, though, as that's what happened in real life, the case was auto-ejected into the cockpit which filled with smoke & the pilot had his hands full dealing with the recoil as well but you played 'rules as writ' !

Urph, glad you were able to repair it.

this important announcement.
Reports are flooding in of a massive extraterrestrial invasion in New Jersey! Martians have landed, and chaos
has descended upon the region. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a drill! Eyewitnesses are describing a
scene straight out of a science fiction tale. Unidentified metallic cylinders have touched down in the farmlands
near Farmingdale, New Jersey. Another report states the sky above Grover's Mill is ablaze with strange
lights. This is an amazing site to see, and just unimaginable! The objects are confirmed to be towering
tripods, and are emerging from the cylindrical crafts. Citizens are urged to remain calm and seek shelter
immediately! The Martian invaders have unleashed devastating heat rays, decimating everything in their
path. Structures are crumbling, and panic is spreading. We urge everyone in the vicinity to evacuate if
possible. For those unable to leave, seek refuge underground or in sturdy shelters. The military is
mobilizing, but the conventional weapons seem ineffective against the Martian technology. Commander
Walker is attempting to coordinate a strategic defense against the Martian forces.

Mission 6
Big Blast?
March, 1919
Near Farmingdale, New Jersey
The atmosphere near Farmingdale was tense as the aftermath of Commander Walker's loss and the Air Service's
failed attack weighed heavily on the human forces. The retreat to the city of Howell marked a strategic decision
in the face of the advancing Martian threat. As the humans regrouped, the Martians continued their relentless
pursuit of resources, posing a looming threat to the larger cities along the East Coast.
Taking command of the defense efforts, General Stone of the US Army implemented a defensive strategy for
Howell. He ordered his infantry to dig in just outside of town, establishing a perimeter to
withstand the impending Martian onslaught. Recognizing the need for additional air support, General Stone called
in a squadron of Fokker D.VIIs, hoping their advanced capabilities would give the humans an edge in the upcoming
battle. Confident in the strength of his defenses, General Stone addressed the worried residents of Howell, reassuring
them that the combined efforts of the military would repel the Martian invaders. His words were laced with determination
and a promise of victory, instilling a sense of hope among the populace. The fate of Howell hung in the balance as the
stage was set for a decisive confrontation between humanity and the relentless Martian invaders.

Mission 7
Ground Attack!
May 1919
Near Howell, New Jersey
The relentless efforts of humanity over the past two months have somewhat impeded the Martian
advance. Although the Martians have not been pushed beyond their beachhead, the humans have
successfully executed several scouting missions. Through these missions, valuable intelligence has
been gathered, revealing that the Martians are fortifying their position by constructing a ground base.
Of particular concern is the nearly completed Generator Complex, prompting a strategic imperative for
the humans to neutralize it. To enhance their Air Corps capabilities, the English have dispatched
Sopwith Salamanders, a reinforcement crucial for buying time until American production scales up to
provide its own aircraft. This collaborative effort aims to thwart the Martian progression and safeguard
human interests in the ongoing conflict.
General Stone has issued orders for the newly deployed Salamander unit to launch an assault on the
generator complex. Execute a low-altitude approach, aiming to obliterate as many generators as possible,
and prioritize a safe extraction to ensure the team's survival.

Mars Attacks!
Mission 9
Black Ops! pt2
Humanity bore witness to a daring maneuver that would echo through the annals of history. The air hummed
with anticipation as the crackling energy of the industrial age mingled with the palpable tension of war. It was
a time when humanity stood at the precipice of its own destiny, facing an otherworldly threat from the red planet.
As twilight descends upon the landscape, a hushed excitement swept through the ranks of brave soldiers and
intrepid pilots approached the outskirts of the Martian supply base. Their mission: to strike a decisive blow against
the invaders from Mars, to turn the tide of war in favor of Earth.
With a calculated precision born of desperation, daring pilots soared through the sky, their planes laden with the
weight of destiny. Their target loomed ahead, a sprawling complex nestled amidst the rolling hills, guarded by
towering Tripods and the ominous specter of Martian technology.
With nerves of steel and hearts afire with determination, the pilots descended upon the enemy stronghold. Canisters
of equipment tumbled from the skies like metallic raindrops, disrupting the invaders' logistical network and sowing
chaos amidst their ranks.
But the mission was not without its risks. As the last of the planes swooped low to release their cargo, the air crackled
with the fury of Martian retaliation. Explosions blossomed across the sky as anti-aircraft fire sought to stem the tide of
human defiance. Some planes faltered, consumed by the inferno of battle, their pilots consigned to the annals of heroism.
Yet amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged. Though many aircraft lay shattered upon the earth, there were whispers
among the survivors of stolen Tripods, of daring escapes amidst the chaos of war. Perhaps, just perhaps, some of the brave
pilots had managed to seize the enemy's own weapons against them, turning the tide of battle in a stunning reversal of fortune.
As the fog of war lifted over the battered landscape, the true extent of the evening's victory remained shrouded in uncertainty.
But one thing was certain: in the heart of darkness, humanity had struck a blow against the forces of tyranny and oppression,
forging a legacy of courage and resilience that would endure for generations to come.
