If it turns out anything like your Burnside's Bridge and Miller's Cornfield tables, it should be brilliant!

Cheers,

Thanks, Barry.

We won't bring it out to a convention until its at least as good as those two. We can do the terrain, but developing a scenario that works and is fun is the trick! We'll be pushing the envelope with this game.
