Well after I teach these 20 kids to play I am guaranteed opponents when needed. :) The school club I sponsor meets weekly and since we own a large number of Treehouse stashes I thought I should get them playing some games other than Treehouse and Drip. :lol:
I'm hoping to do BH this week. Play it again next week. Then teach RamBots the following week. This all assumes I puzzle out RamBots in the interim. :)

Incorrect. You get any two pieces you want. By traditional thinking,
two larges is a very poor choice. You also get a ship, which is
highly recommended to be large.

Sounds OK.

Four /pieces/ (ships on both sides and stars).

Then I highly recommned SuperDuperGames.org. The interface is not the
slickest, but the competition (when it happens) is fierce but
friendly. I'm on as dsheldon and am always willing to play (and
teach).
In the link JB posted, remember that those rules are for "standard"
Homeworlds, which assumes four players. The difference is you will
only need three of each size/color (instead of five) and you can
ignore the rules regarding good and evil.
(Unless they've been updated, I haven't checked in a very long time.)
