Thanks for the history on those bats John.  John P designed a cracker of a game.  WCS94 gets a lot of love...I hope I don't enjoy it too much as this one has to go to make room for something special 

Couple more pics...

I've scoured the globe for one plastic which I need to replace...MarkC did have them but sold out....

Otherwise its coming along nicely.  This will be a very snappy game to play when its done..
