I remember when Andy was making videos every week and I had this gnawing urge to make a "how to play (Binary) Homeworlds" video. I never did do it, but it still has been gnawing at me. I've seen people asking for it and I never get the time. I was going to have my nephew (whom I have taught to play) help out. It was going to be great! If only I could get a solid weekend to work on it. Also, Sinister Homeworlds (where you are attack to your left and defending from your right) is a fantastic variant. Personally, I like it better than ye olde "good and evil" game. -- - |) () /\/
