Robo-Battle, a new web game entering its testing phase, is looking for
players and feedback.  Entry into the game is entirely free.  Players
construct and manage robots in one-on-one automatically generated battles in
a futuristic arena.  The game's home page is located on the Web at:

http://home.att.net/~dug-meister/Mech/

For anyone interested in taking part, below is a brief overview of the game.
Complete rules are located on the website.

- Matches are run in sets on a weekly basis.  Battles are generated
automatically, and results output to the web site, including both public and
private pages for viewing robot descriptions and statistics.

- Matches are turn based, consisting of the opponents checking to act, hit
and damage from different ranges.  Robots themselves are rated in areas
including Body, Armor, Speed, Aim, Dodge and Tactics, and also purchase or
design their own weaponry.  Weapon design is intentionally simple, allow
players to submit their own ideas for weapons for inclusion in the game's
master weapon list.  Weapons are themselves rated in range, damage, speed
and aim, and either do direct damage or temporarily incapacitate the
opponent.

- Players earn cash and design team "experience" after each match.  Cash can
be spent on weapons, Body or Armor, while experience goes towards improving
other areas.  Winning a match earns additional prize money, while losing a
match points out flaws to the design team and helps them earn extra
experience.

- As this is a league game, the site provides bulletin boards for official
news and "in-character" press postings, as well as a chat room. Currently
the site does not support on-line CGI forms, so all player updates to their
bots is done by email.

Thank you for the time, and if interested please stop by and check out the
game or submit your own robot creation.  It's still well in its infancy and
in need of players.  Thanks again.
