That's very good to hear! I'm glad it's an easier strategy game... I wasn't sure, because the idea certainly seems to indicate that it could be very complex. Also, thank you for the offer to help teach me...I would definitely be able to use any help I can get. I think I'm going to end up bidding on this game...Hopefully I'll win the auction. If I do, I'll see if I can scan the manual for you, to get you a copy of the rules (as long as the booklet's not too big, I think I read that it was 40 pages though).
