Determining Wind Direction

Ahh, I hadn't had a chance to re-read through the rule books yet.

Not sure if that was the "charts" you were referring to.  It worked ok for us.
He does state in there that he sets up what the wind direction and speed will
do ahead of time.  I believe that would take one possible slow down out of the
game.

The way Steve handles it now is that he has a chart of pre-generated
wind, and you pick a random starting point on the chart, and you roll a
die each turn, on a 5 or 6 the wind changes to the next entry in the
list.

That's a good way to handle it, but the problem was the slowness of
changing (the wind didn't even necessarily change from entry to entry).
