As kids, we all had limitations as to the supply of elements, but (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | | Hmmm, of course you could go for the idea of everyone builds one unit at the start, stats it up and then you place your case (with it's remaining pieces) on the board. You own this case. Each turn you can take 1D6 pieces from each case you own and (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming)

Yeah, unless you introduced a ruling that a unit can only be built from pieces from a specific base - you could have a staging area by the base where your unit sits while it is being constructed. That way all you have to do is mark which unit (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming)
