Directions for Interested Players:
This game is very much like any other e-mail game you may have played, with
the one difference being the Quick Start option. Many players are not in
favour of this option, but too many times have I heard of a skilled general
losing early because of poor luck in his positioning. The Quick Start option
does away with the drudgery of the first 10 turns, and puts enemies face
to face right at the start.
Additional Comments, Thoughts, Suggestions:
Again, the Quick start option may be something you're not used to, but it
will be interesting to say the least. Please don't respond if you're unable
to move the game along as quick as possible. Thanks, and good luck!
