House rules

[Cross]

Hi Grumbler,

Love the sharks, and the reference to Hawks. Not that Hawks was a shark, :stir: well actually I never played him, but his reputation was enough for hardened Airborne troops to just pick up and run for the rear.

Anyway, back to house rules. I think it's going to be tough to nail down house rules because people approach this game (these games) in so many different ways.

I keep a word doc with all my prefs listed on it. Then before I start a battle I send a copy of them over to my opponent. Then there's no misunderstandings. Because I have a rubbish memory and like you I've been 'ambushed' a few times because I forgot to nail down some detail before the battle.

I change it for each battle of course, and most are negotiable; but here it is:
