Hi!

Two words to russian speaking: can anybody translate this thread for
thise who don't understand English well enough? Or will we translate it
ourselves? Like this:

Nice! I have never played a game with HW being the best planet. :)

What do you mean by standard rules? Standard Galaxy differes from
Galaxay+ more than GalaxyNG ;)
  I think we should completelly accept GalaxyNG rules this time.

I suppose there is no need to switch it off. We have used to more
complicated bombing rules. And it would be interesting to see what NG
modification of bombing gives.

Team against team would change the game very much. It would be more
interesting to scatter the players randomly over the galaxy i think. And
possibility of wining of only one or two races (should we avoid this
word?) would make the game again more standard, so we can get all the
possible fun from the game.

I suppose 2 turns per week would be the most convinient for most of
the players.

I am not sure the ex-USSR team would be the best possible, because
some of the best players don't play Galaxy already. But I beleive we
are strong enough to have at least 50% chances to win ;) It might be
difficult enough to get used to new for us rules on the run though.
So we might need one more GalaxyNG game to get more correct result.
And then why not to make the first game usual with only one winner and
the second one - team against team? (after Andrew)
