*nods*

I like programming :)	I think what I'll do is carry on as I am at the
current time - but make that a game option.  (I'd already thought of a
nice
engine that would allow me to select whether I was using FT2 or FB
rules,
and whether to use various additional rules for the game in question,
this will definately be on my list for early options, depending on how
the
playtesters like the way things play)
