-Exactly. Thank you - I missed that e'd said that.-

-Well, it's not really that large, and there's an important distinction. I'm not talking about our old Grid. I'm actually envisioning something closer to Nomicron's Mappa, where players owned the squares and the player tracking it kept track with colors representing players. Color would have really made the old Grid easier to understand, and I think it will help here. There would be some differences - like players being on the Grid - but there would, ideally, be a lot fewer things like Rocks, Boxes, Gremlins, and Gnomes floating around, too. So it wouldn't be all that hard to track.-
