Robbie,
If I make the 1 1/2 hour trip down to San Diego, I’m going to want to play Alpha 2. I’ve never played Alpha 3 before. I know there’s not a lot of differences between the two but I believe there’s enough of a difference that it would require more “thinking” time during the game to cover those differences. I’m very familiar w/Alpha 2 and this would shorten the game time during our first outing. I generally like to play a few game online before venturing into a new version of the game. So, before any Alpha 3 in person game, I’d like to play a few Alpha 3 games online. Having said that, it seems like you’d like to play Alpha 3. If so, feel free to PM Mallery and play w/him and others on Sunday. We can always get together another time and play Alpha 2. Or, play Alpha 3 when I’ve got my feet wet with it a little bit…
