Hi Thomas, The story sounds great for a first sample run. In later projects I would add in mini bosses that rule their particular armies, like a dire wolf for the wolves, a half orc barbarian for the orcs, vampire for the skeletons etc. I am jazzed up about this, and I got about ten thousand questions...but it can wait. One question I do have is this. I downloaded the vb express, got the jaws add in, but I am having a heck of a time trying to register it with microsoft....any thoughts on this? also, what book or books would you suggest for someone like me to start learning, I decided to try the .net, and leave off the C stuff. When I mean someone like me, I mean someone totally devoid of any inkling of what I am doing.lol thanks for everything allan
