Great, thanks. Also, fwiw, bruce geryk's blog on 1up got me to try the demo (even though he complained about the elf pictures) so maybe that will help.
I really like the gameplay design, i think it can potentially have much longer life then advance wars (a game that i loved) especially if multiplayer becomes more common. now my next request is for you to port it to GBA so i can play on the train
. I hope you guys do well with it.
