The three good styles I came up with using Rebel XP for dos all defeated Rebel.eng. I was looking for a stronger opponent, so used the style Ed suggested as best(others requested this through email as well). If you share an engine setting that you would like to test against hex1 I will test it on my 2400+ machine. I would like to find a stronger Rebel personality than hex1.eng. Good luck with all your Rebel testing.
