Looks great! But by the time you've put a DBX game on a grid, haven't you about reinvented Morschauser's Shock Period game?

Maybe, but I don't know the Morschauser Shock Period game? I guess, like fashion, the same things come round again if you wait long enough. I'm also working on pinning some round disks to the sides of my sledge as I think it will reduce the force needed to pull it.

1962. "How to Play War Games in Miniature." (The illustrations include a 12-base "Shock Period Army" 27 years prior to DBA.) I'm feeling especially old this morning.

The round disk thing will never work. You might as well try to domesticate animals.

Why would one domesticate one's food? ;o)

So it won't run away as fast? But I only mentioned it as another silly idea which will never go anywhere. (My cat agrees, by the way.)
