Re: EFSB playing time.

I like the idea of two battles.  Everytime I've played FT it only takes
a 
couple of hours.  I think (if they're new players) everyone will be 
itching to play a second time so they can see if they figured out the
rules/
can kick butt in the next game.

Did you email GeoHex?  I sent email to Jose, the miniatures coordinator,
about having all our tables together.
