I'm up for playing and as far as I can tell, the 13th sounds good. I can
also bring a few 'urban structures' with me.
Are we going to have teams? Also, might this game lend itself to hit points
(HP) since we will have very few units?
I've also been thinking...the new World City Police sets would work well in
this scenario, don't you think? Nothing like a bunch of underpowered,
annoying belligerent people mucking up our battles.
