Rick Loomis writes us: The BATTLE PLAN rules, and the 1939 WWBP victory conditions are now available on my webpage. You can see the Battle Plan rules at http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/bprules.htm and the 1939 victory conditions at http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/1939rls.htm

If you were thinking of trying BATTLE PLAN but hadn't gotten around to buying a copy of the rules yet, now you can read it online. Also if you are out of town & don't have your rules with you, but have access to the internet, you can look up a rule.

Good news: STARWEB was nominated for best ongoing pbm game and COLD WAR BATTLE PLAN for best "new" pbm game for the Origins Awards. If you like our games, please take a moment to fill out the ballot and mail one in. If we win an award, we'll get more customers, and thus more opponents for you!

Don't forget the VIRTUAL CONVENTION starting May 15th. Check http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/virtual.htm for details. I'd like to start a "Slow Real Forces WWBP" game. I have 9 players signed up. We really ought to have at least 12-15 players, preferably 20. Check out the rules online, and sign up for a game. "Slow" means moves are once a month. Yes, many of the other players will not be on the net, but you'll have a month between turns to communicate with them. I also have 7 players waiting for the next email Starweb game. Sign up now if you want to be sure to get into it. ...Rick Loomis Flying Buffalo Inc/PO Box 1467/Scottsdale, AZ 85252 602-945-6917 /FAX:602-994-1170 /Ans Mach: 602-994-0658 http://www.flyingbuffalo.com
