- may be printed out using any word processing program or
- with the following directions:

- The rules fit nicely onto standard 8.5 by 11 inch paper.
-
- Reading the Rules:
-
- The rules are 28 pages long but experienced wargamers
- shouldn't have any trouble reading through them quickly.
- For less experienced players, I suggest skimming the
- rules first then playing the game, then reading the rules
- more carefully. Keep in mind that you don't have to
- remember all the rules, the computer will. The rules are
- more or less for documentation and reference purposes.
