...The smaller bases might be useful if they can be put either in the remote corners or on
the half line I would think. I wanna pick up a spare SnS and try it out :-)

....Ooh! Good idea! Change strategies half way thru. A variation could be if someone is
winning by more than 2 points, the other player gets to put 2 or even more figs first
(claim the best spots so they have a slight advantage in the second half)... This could
definitely make a blow out game more competitive... hmmm.

...Ours would 'shoot thru' at times. Hard to tell if it just missed the goal on the side
or went in and thru. I was thinking of using some of the small mesh nets from spare
adventurer sets (and many others) to reinforce too.

...Yea. You don't want to put in a time limit, but otherwise there is no reason to play
fast if you are more accurate with the careful aimed 'penalty shot' kicks... :-/ Another
annoyance with 'penalty shot' kicks is a bunch of the time, if the goalie stops it, it
bounces back to the fig that shot it, so he can try again... I hate that! (unless its my
fig who gets the next shot :-)
...you can go back to ignoring me now...
