Its actually 5 separate players spread over the map, each starting with a home system and no knowledge of anyone elses whereabouts. The idea is that they will explore the map and bump into each other in doing so once that happens they will begin to establish some borders etc. This is my first time using cyberboard so there are a lot of things I dont know about yet. For instance, is it possible to group objects? Can I create an unfilled box or do I have to simply link lines together and select them as a group (which will be a pain if I cant group objects). I think Im going to need lots of help with this!
PS thanks for the responses so far they have been great! _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark McGilchrist Sent: March 22, 2008 4:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [CBML] Autonumber hexes 2 options that I can see; 1. Create owned game files, so that they can submit moves and you respond by revealing (or releasing ownership) of counters that have an invisible front. 2. Run two games generated from the same scenario. They can run one, and your GM copy has all the hidden objects. The benefit is there game moves also run on the GM game file, so half the work is done. You will then need to respond onto their game file with moves by placing newly discovered items. This is the way I play Flattop, which is very much a search and evade game. How many sides or players are there? Is it two teams with common knowledge, or each person has an individual view? --- Rob Koot <HYPERLINK "mailto:robkoot%40shaw.ca"[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Mark, that will be very helpful. > Unfortunately it only solves half > my problem.
