Example: in this race the starting point is on the Forge On board 5 tiles from the left and 10 tiles from the bottom.  Forge On 5,10.

    We start at Crushcade 6,6 and go to flag 1 at Forge On 5,10.  Look closely at the center section.  It is one level down.  You can't fall to it from the sides.  You will either have to fly or use the ramps.

    Flag 2 is back at Crushcade 8,10.  Let's see if we can get a little cross-over action.

    Flag 3 is at Rampochet 8,7.  The walls are made out of either double or single ramps.  It always take 1 extra movement to get over the ramps.  On the double ramps, you just slide down the other side.  On the single you fall for 2pts of damage.  Look close at the center section for where there are single or double ramps...a single ramp acts as a wall from the other side.

    Flag 4 is at Oil & Water 3,7.  Watch close for when those pushers activate.  I've included all of the times on the chart above the boards (btw, if anyone finds ANY mistakes please e-mail me!).

    Flag 5 is back at Rampochet.  I put in a 5th flag because I think you really lose the fun of entering AND leaving the last board.

    All the flags do have strength 6 electrified force fields.  The force fields should be considered a solid block that you cannot move through or fly over (with the exception of the big jet).  The force fields have to be hit for 6pts before they drop. Any time a 'bot tries to move into the flag square while the force field is in place, it takes 1pt damage from the field.

    Any questions about board elements (especially on the new boards) let me know.

    Flags 1 through 4 each have 10 option cards (toys) on them.  They will be distributed by your fellow players.  When you tag on a flag, another player will pick the option card you get ( players in the lead will probably get the worse options, players later in the pack will probably get the better ones).

    We will be using most of the option cards from the original game and armed & dangerous, as well as the new stuff that is listed on the site.  Several are too complex to be used in the e-mail format, so you won't see every toy.  I am using more than one option deck so there  will be some duplication.  Any questions about how an option works, or if you need the exact printed copy on the card, I'll be happy to answer them.  When using an optional weapon or other turn programed device, let me know with your programming that you have it turned on, and what phases you want for the weapon.  Beginning options will be installed before the race begins (yes, you can use them on turn 1).

    I will be using only one deck of programming cards this time, so expect to see more normal distributions on the cards.  For turns that I need more than 90 cards, I will reshuffle and draw from all the cards.
