Setup i.e. Turn 0

So here's our initial setup.

Everyone has 3 hex tiles to start.

Each player rolled a die that corresponded to a tile on the already assembled map and placed a single tile adjacent to it.

This helped to ensure the map was not 'round' and even, which I like.

After that was done we went around and chose an additional tile to place, and then another. This of course, caused the player order to effect who had the 'best' terrain tiles.

We then chose our 'HQ' tile and place a structure there form the Planetary Empires set.

The very middle tile will be a Hive City, when we get it. And will be more difficult to take and will encure some special bonuses.

The campaign will last 12 turns and the winning conditions will be decided at a later date.
