Re: mobility in DS2

This system does work in some games, I'll give you that, but I'd hate to

see it in DS. I like the way movement is integrated. It keeps things 
fluid and fairly well balanced. It also makes decision making something 
you do not want to rush as you account for the varying speeds (and 
therefore interactions) of the different units on the board.
