Game rules quickie summary (I think): Things we're decided on: ===...=== - Tek Level 2 (Medieval) - April 27th, 2003, Jonathan's place - Shaun & Wayne vs. Joe & Jonathan vs. Dave & Dan & Jenn - 1000 CP (...)

| | | | | (...) Hmmmmm. I'd been thinking 1000 CP per player ... do we definitely want to avoid this? On average, this would still come to at most 100 troops, assuming you had all regular troopers. Throw in heroes, horses, catapults, ballistae, siege towers, (...) (21 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

If other people decide they can play (Hendo ... where are you?), then they can add another 1000 CP as well. The unlucky team is the one that doesn't have as many (...)
