Subject: [GZG] SG game setup and GMing advice

SG game setup:
I try to put cover every 8-15", depending on how busy I want the board.
Remember, an
average move is 6-7". So making most cover two moves apart (or one good
combat move) seems
to work well. Too little cover leads to a dig-in-and-shoot style of
game.

GMing advice: 35.) Never ask a player the time. In "Devil is in the Details",
I asked for the time (having left my timing unit upstairs). Joel Frock
generously volunteered his watch, which read 6:24 pm. I thought we were later,
but I realized Joel might have been from a
time-zone away so I assumed it was 7:24 pm. It was actually 9:24 pm, as
we discovered at the end of the game! Joel's watch was 3 hours off and he
didn't bother to mention that.
