my idea is that a BOX is a VERY good strategy, ESPECIALLY if I were to
have KATE and Abby, and ROB each enter one.

A Magno would be sure to score then.

a play field of box's is not a game i want to play.

if i were to do BoP again, i would not allow the tower bots.  and add a
size rule.

the same with this game.  i dont want to see 10 box's sitting there.  so
help me out.  what can we do to prevent that?

I will agree that a HITW input will be a VERY hard game.  thats why i
sugested it.



Chris
