Sent "small packet" with THE FAST CARRIERS, GLOBAL WAR, and
AUSTERLITZ to Walter Luc Haas.
Sent THE 6 PACK --- to Steve Wilson.
Call from Carl Eisenberg. Asked if I knew what company was
putting out the inexpensive (about $18) version of PETROPOLIS. No.
Thinking of some variations for WORD RACE or HURDLES. Allow
the players in setting "hurdles" to put them on either side
of the marked spaces, if desired. Use a different color to make
it stand out. Another: allow the player using the track to
fill in 1, 2, or 3 letters between each hurdle.
Decided to use the track as it now is - with 69 spaces. I will
allow spaces for only 21 hurdles - using 63 spaces. At the
start of the track two of the spaces will be used for the
player's names. The remaining 4 spaces will be for the a
"run-over" at the end.
