BULL!!!!! if you train heads cant spare me a 2' square space for my hill climber
then you're just going to have to have to do a train show somewhere else.
this ain't survivor. you'll learn to share the table space OR I'll have you voted
out of the tent.

did you not read when I said I was just going to bring the HILL part of the game.
that will easily sit on half a table. just us robot guys, needing just a small
corner. HECK, I need LESS space then one of your train module's. which come in at
30" + my hill is only 24" so reduce your "ville de alten" to 5 module's and give
me a corner.
let me quote you a few times:
"..the train layout takes a majority of the community tent."
"..the train layout takes a majority of the community tent."
"..the train layout takes a majority of the community tent."
"..the train layout takes a majority of the community tent."
"..the train layout takes a majority of the community tent."
humm that hardly seems fair.

K.I.S.S. the plexi will safely lean against one leg of the train layout that you
will turn over to the Robot Squad. IF you don't, I will have BRUCE reprogram LOR
to stomp through ville-de-Alt
