With the late setup, did you set the initial Rebel Century time on the program's
internal clock to reflect the elapsed (missing) time on the 'real' clock?  Or
did you set the play rate of RC to a faster setting?  Or both?

Well, Uri, this certainly ruins your theory about the human team having an
advantage by the choice to play a player who is better (prepared!) to play a
computer.  :)

It seems they might not exercise that choice wisely, if at all.

This would be in agreement with your theory.  :)

Very funny, ROFL!

Lucky your hardware had a quiet CPU fan.  I would have liked to see the director
tell Rebel Century to "quiet down".  You know how a true rebel would react!
