Comments:
Obviously, not formatted, but I wanted to get it out here. Positions are directly from DS's proposal. I moved some stuff around slightly on the directors to keep them involved throughout the game. Note the split of slider and cash control - must be that accountant background or something. The Director of Expansion will see an interstest shift in duties as the game goes one - that will be interesting to watch.
