I just tried a little experiment, a PBEM game with "myself" to determine how big the E-mails are likely to be in a 5,000 point pure-armour battle.

Wow - 3.46 MB for the first minute of action!

I'm hoping this won't be too much of a problem but...(for the uninitiated amongst you, I'm restricted to dial-up, I NEVER get a connection speed higher than 33.3kps, and to top it all I have a "noisy" 'phone line that my telecom company refuses to care about, let along help me with. I often have evenings of hell where I am regularly disconnected every ten minutes - no exaggeration)...anyway, I'm toying with the idea of reducing my battle to 3,000 points for this reason alone. Simply to cut down on the file size.

Hmmm...decisions decisions...

I am probably sticking to 3000 myself. I am also a slave to my modem.

That may not be a bad idea for us noobies. It is up to us to determine the size and limiting the battle to 3000 points may be a way to make things more managable.

Dr S.,...your a genious. A touch on the evil side but that helps us get into the mind of our evil opponents.
