Damn, Suz, you win. They AREN'T as slow as I thought.

Of course, we could even this out fairly easily by letting the team with the
item (Team A) place their troops first. This would then give you guys the
ability to analyze weak spots and place your troops accordingly. This
definitely is more objective-based than I've seen in the past, but I think
it would be fun. It would also speed up the game a bit buy not wasting time
marching a bunch of troops to the center of the field. Thoughts?
