I spent lots of quality time with ELmer over the holiday.
I did a lot of code cleanup, and a lot of work on the seaborne stuff. I also tried to give him a little understanding of Artillery, and why a large group of armed men shouldn't attack a group of tanks. He now plays a better game, I believe. He can at least mount a credible invasion of Leros. He makes some mistakes, but at the tactical level, he plays a better game, and the code is much cleaner...
