RE: GZG Events at Plattecon 99!

Have "Player Cards" that give them simple, concise play data including
weapons, turn procedure, forces, objective briefings. Let them keep them
as
souvenirs.
Keep it simple. Figure how big a game you want and back off 20%. Then
you
will be able to finish and everyone will be happy.
Be very firm with the players. No rules lawyering. No fudging allowed on
measuring. Shoot the lawyers.

Have fun!
