All right. I give up, and apologize for all of this bull**** that I've put everybody through. I just uploaded a group of semi-breifing in text files. It's under the same zip file as the old ones. Just go there and download it. If those don't work it's something wrong with my computer. These new briefings leave out a bunch of info, so you guys are only going to have your generals' starting locations, skills, territories, and troops.
I'm going to be away for half the weekend. I think I'm going to semi-delay things. Here's how it will work: By Labor Day (sept 3) I will have done at least one turn. Rules discussions at this forum (by the way, I really like having the forum, even more than I thought I would), and all sorts of stuff can go on in the meantime.
Regarding Archer's question: troops are stuck in the regions that they are in. They are not bound to a general, per se, but can only be moved by a general and attack with the help of a general. They are bound more to their territory than to the general, but can really do nothing without the help of a general. Your general chooses which troops go with him from the territory when he does things. If you take all of your troops out of a territory, you no longer control the territory, so that's something you don't want to do. Does that make things clearer? Ask away if not.
