Two pioneers going to war. But like…a little closer to a cold war than a hot war. They tried though, so credit, right? Maybe just a participation ribbon? I’m really mean to these fighters, but honestly, after a little development, these divisions and fights are going to get HOT HOT HOT! Slowest times for fighters are when too many are brand new, and on the other end of the spectrum, when too many are capped.
