- Hello folks! I guess you've met Gene ... my psychotic pal :-)
-
- Anyways ... the way I understand it.., Chris Hartford, the
- congenial Brit who designed BattleSpace, has said to me even back at
- GenCon92 that there WILL be construction rules. BTW, don't expect the
- old designs to fit! :) :)
-
- So Gene... "Ol' Buddy, ol' pal", you can have my test copy, once
- I receive it and have made some photocpies :-) Jan 10th or so.
-
- It should be near ready. Also, those rules with Vehicels... well
- , they still need "playtest" aprooval. You might have only Mechforce
- turnaments using it ... but I sorta doubt that. :|
-
- Note folks.... Gene doesn't have this neat .sig!
