Well, since I haven't had time to do a practice run, on Marks game, and not even sure if I'm running 1 or 2, and my darn computer died, so the only way I have to get the info I need before the game is sneeking on the web in my work office (copaired to on the public work computer, that is not attached to a printer so I can print things up), I figured out a "somewhat" solution to my delema.
Since I have Friday off, and had planned to go computer shopping then, I have a couple of people from work who just happen to have Friday off too, and I talked them into playing the game. It would be better if I had a couple of more people, but for "newbies" playing the game, it's probably better that I only have 2 so it will be easier to show them the ropes of how to play.
Should be pretty interesting. Considering the copy I have of HOA 1 is probably not an update, I figure I've played it enought time to wing it the best I can.
I'll let you know how it went, later.
