Friday 3 July 1964 185th day - 181 days to come
At Korvette's saw BATTLE LINE (IDEAL). Played on board as follows:
[to left of text is a hand-drawn grid containing 12 large "sector" spaces each surrounded by a series of smaller spaces containing stars on the spaces at the corners of the "sector" spaces. The bottom of the grid contains additional large and small spaces denoted by "No Man's Land." Additional arrows pointing at the top of the grid are marked "P" or "T".]
Each player has 5 Patrols
& 1 Tank started as shown.
Moves are made by a spinner
which has numbers from 11 to
19. Moves can be divided between
as many men as desired.
Each [word crossed out] player also has
12 flags of his own color.
Object is to move the patrols
to the opponent's side and
get 4 in position on the 4
corners of a sector. When
this done a flag is put in
[following text is in a circle and likely relates to the drawn grid.]
- SYM. ABT. & EXCEPT THAT TANK IS TO OTHER SIDE.
the sector to indicate
capture.
Patrols once moved passed "No Man's Land" can not
move passe back. Tanks must stay on own side and are
used to occupy corners & stop opponent from occupy-
ing them. (What is to stop a player from leaving his
tank permanently on a corner?) First to occupy 12 sec-
tors is the winner. (Can pcs. pass over other pcs.?)
Also bought POKERO (Cardinal).
Rcd. an order for 2 FOCUS booklets.
During day played 2 games of DATA. Divided the cards
into 2 piles - one containing the pre "address" cards
the other containing all the others. Each time turn a play-
er takes one from each piles. At the start 3 are
dealt from each pile. This made for a better balance
of cards in player's hands. (Dana, BB & I played.)
Started a game of SPECTRUM but called it off when
Dana had trouble with his tape recorder.
The Whitman submission forms came. They stink.
