Admittedly, even with the deck stacked against the rookies, it's my personal opinion that they did reasonably well, because even though they basically got cut to pieces by superior positioning and ambush tactics, they did not panic.<br/><br/>Even with the voice in the back of the head saying 'It's just a sim, none of this is real', the fact that they didn't freak out at any point is a very solid point in their camp.<br/><br/>Also, if the fight had Lasted longer, who wants to bet that Alroy and Erich would have mutually headcapped their respective 'sims? :P
