Senorita Simpatica, you are quite right! While I've been known to do tricks with an elephant, it's unlikely that many would be convinced that prehistoric tribes were Gas Warriors. I should just re-cast it as a post-apocalyptic game and call it 'Gas Hogs: Warriors of the Silicon Plain'. That way, sucking gas fumes out of the air would be more believable, although for the half of us who now live in or near a big city, this could soon be an alternate energy source. 

I thank you [though not all will] for the encouragement. For any who are interested [all 7 of you], I've found this game is scalable. Five different sizes are currently playing or playtesting: 8x12, 10x10, 12x16, 12x24, 15x30.  The number of leaders per side ranges from 2 to 8, total pieces from 16 to 64 per side. However, even at larger sizes, the game plays quickly, finishing in roughly 35 turns, because the multi-move aspect speeds it up. Expect I will bore people with yet another [far too] large game write-up in the near future. Enjoy
