Good evening guys,
next match is an easy one for the Novag Constellation Expert: the Novag Octo. The only fear I have is: these two points gained won't weigh much in the S/B calculation that I expect will be important for the final ranking of group 2 participants. I want to play more with the wonderful Constellation Expert!
