Which sounds like a skirmish game.  I think I already said that we did
NOT want such a game.  And that we were specifically NOT trying to
duplicate the show-as-produced, but rather have a game with a good
number of figures on each side without requiring one side to have a
huge numerical advantage in order to have any chance of winning, and
that our solution was to give more reasonable capabilities to the Jaffa
and raise them from their Keystone Cop-ness.
