I think (unless there is some kind of misunderstanding between Shaun and I,
it's really his thing) we're going to be splitting up into two sides.  I know
Shaun was working on an element of "every man for himself" to be thrown in as
well, but I don't know what he might have settled on.

I'd love to do stuff like this eventually, but I think for the first game we're
just going for straight carnage.

Also true.  Actually I mailed Shaun last night because as I was tallying, I
discovered that the things I had built and really wanted to field would require
about 275 by the time I was done.  Shaun said I should bring whatever I built,
because we would probably have "reinforcements" join the battle eventually.
