A short brief on what battle is about:

	BATTLE is a play by Email game with deadlines every half week at first
(since the start is easy) and then changing to weekly deadlines as the game
gets more complicated. For those who have little time, it should take at most
about half an hour to think out your moves and mail me. Usually it doesn't
take more than about five minutes.
	The game is played with 12 players on a playing field made up of
hexagons. Each player has a base which has a certian amount of power and can
build and improve units. Units can be given attributes like move and attack
but these have to be researched first by the base. The aim of the game is to
eliminate the other players and be the last one surviving, games usually last
about thirty moves.
	The latest games to be run are being played internationally through
a robot on IRC and an ftp site in the Netherlands. Files can be retrieved from 
the robot using dcc, and from the ftp site by using normal anonymous ftp.
If youre interested in playing a game send me some mail
(battle@cp.tn.tudelft.nl) and Ill add you to the waiting list for games.
You will then get to take over, if you want, from anyone who drops out and
will be notified when new games start.

	Short instructions for operating batserv on IRC:

	/msg batserv list	-	A list of files you can retrieve
	/msg batserv send <file>-	Send you the file. You should
					type /dcc get batserv which will
					start the link.

if you have any features you think should be added.
	Alternativly the files can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl in pub/pbm/Battle. Thanks to Frits Kuijlman for this
service. If you can't use either ftp or IRC then try gopher of the mail
