Our game is going well so far. We used a map I made (I gave Frenky the .bix file so he could look at the map beforehand).
The map is small, no AI, and fairly resource heavy.
Frenky is the Japanese and I'm the Arabians. We are playing with accelerated production. We've played to the 2700's. The default rules of the game are altered so that each player also has access to Berserks (because there is an island set up in the middle that will need Berserks/Marines to land on). It's sort of the "rush to point" for the players. If anyone is interested in the .bix file, let me know.
