Consider, a field, rectangular, with centre point C.
call one of the corners A and the other on the same short side B, like so.
A point on each of the long edges has also been named for clarity
A---a-----+---------X
| | |
| C |
| | |
B---b-----+---------X
reflection about centre line passing through C
A---a-----+-----a---A
| | |
| C |
| | |
B---b-----+-----b---B
however rotation about point C (180deg) gives
A---a-----+-----b---B
| | |
| C |
| | |
B---b-----+-----a---A

That was the general idea. I don't know if it'd work though, that's why I
asked.

Cool, hadn't thought of it like that.

I was wondering what sort of team to put together, since PeteW has already
snagged the nepean ninjas the G.T.W.R. team sounds fine.
And all those <set:1180> on special too!
