 Hi All,

Glacier II has ended, and I will be starting Glacier III in a
couple of weeks if there is enough interest. Rules will be
almost identical to the Glacier II game, and are listed below.

I have a few players interested already, but will want a total
of 16 players total. So, please respond if you are interested!
Spots will be allotted via response time. Do not send me any
races yet! If you need something to do, create some test beds!

Major changes to Glacier III game:

• Mod will play everyone's first turn, scrapping all starting ships and designs (prevents gen errors).
• No NAP's! (This should cut down on the turn time for some)
• AR's continue to get spanked, badly, so they can now use any shield on ships, and cheap constuction.
• Game ends sooner, again, at Y2560.

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------

Glacier III Game rules
