That is my point. The CaveMen would scurry about to new hiding
places while he's gone. Neither can really win this battle. You add a
SpaceGasStation, I add another 100,000 CaveMen throughout the hills.
That campaign is a stalemate as well. That's truely even forces.
If you let me field a really large force of CaveMen, you won't take
them out with an X-Wing, or even a couple. Now, the main point I was
trying to make was that this scenario can't possibly be fun for either
of us to play. Now, put a handful of your SpaceMen in my jungle with
only there handweapons and maybe some really small/simple vehicles.
Give me a couple dozen foresters with bows. With no major vehicles or
buildings, either. Now we can have a fun battle. You blast the tree
out from under my TreeHouse, I rain arrows on your position. Lots of
mayhem potential.
Or let me raid you small outpost with an army of little CaveMen.
Whoops, we're getting back to the EndorMoon supplement. :-) BTW, that
battle was a perfect example of a fun cross-TL battle.

This sounds familar from the posts about NELUGs battle.
