That's very nice ! We played Vector 3 back in grade school (weird 
kids, long story, tractor beams taught me negative numbers) a lot, 
and that's the same tactical system. We used binders, sheet 
protectors and dry-erase markers to achieve the same effect. I think 
the magnetic aspect is a fine addition to the technique. I've gotta 
get more magnetic counter clips, I've got seven metal doors in this 
apt, and only one game on them.

Devolution is very real to me.
Whenever I hear the "Odd Couple" theme, I get this image of Dennis
