Want to become active player

Hi
Just a word about the FOO rule idea.

The way to use it is this.
When you buy your force, you do not tell the opponent how many FOO you have until AFTER you have both bought your force.
It is not necessary to set a FOO amount before the buy.
You may buy 3, your opponent may buy only 1.

The inportant thing is to understand how they affect your play.
1 FOO = 1 arty plot / area of impact.

So...if you want to shoot at three different areas on the map...you need 3 FOO to do it :-)

If an FOO dies in the battle...you lose his shoot.
If all FOO die...you can use the A0...but NOT before.

So...when you start the first proper turn of the battle...you tell each other how many FOO you have.
This way you can tell if the opponent is observing the rules through the game.

It can get very complicated if you wish...but you can also play the rule very simple.
It is just a guide line, as are all the rule idea here.
You need to talk with your opponent to decide which rules to use, if any, and both be happy before you begin.

Oh...one more thing.
I would very rarely play on a map 60x140.
It is a strange size.
I like some depth in the map as well as width. I find 100x100 usually works well for most battles.
It's a personal thing.

Cheers
Good luck
Hurrah!
