Excellent again! Michael's tan board is very good. Much like my physical board for 'All the King's Men.' Very easy on the eyes. Fergus's Chinese pieces look good on this board. I am curious as to what Michael's pieces look like and will ask for a copy via e-mail, unless there are plans to display that scenario here. I greatly appreciate the time and effort Michael and Fergus have put into this project. In regard to the 'New Coke' hype idea... I can say, 'Nonsense.' We are talking about game design here. Two very different boards and very different piece sets as an attempt to please players with different tastes. The fact that this gives a great new game publicity is an added benefit. Anyone not liking the STIT comments, of course, can skip them. But I think they have lead (or are leading to) to a very worthwhile conclusion. I look forward to seeing the game logs for STIT. Best regards to all. And thanks again... very much.
