Lets nominate Jon for sainthood! That would cheer him up I think.
Then he could help all of us poor confused people playing this game
and scouring his nice big book of rules for tidbits and still be
cheery about it!
Wouldn't that be wonderful!
(A humorous attempt <I hope> at taming the grinch!)

Esoteric? Someone planning a battle predicated on the
documented, but let's face it, rare tactic of rolling
boulders down on your hapless foe? This reminds me of
field fortifications in the forward zone. It says that
you don't think your army is big enough or bad enough
to cross the street by itself; let alone cross the
center line with angry intent. Maybe it's time to
examine another list? Good luck!

Bolders are not on the surface as gimmicky as say, scythed
chariots ... but are in fact the panultimate tactical gimmick. After
you have used them to effect a few times, you no longer need to even
buy them. It will be assumed you have them from that time on.
Bolders ROCK!

Maybe you need to add a part about hitting people with _bricks_ :)

Yeah, an index would be helpful! But it is put together by hand. A
very time intensive job, especially if it is done correctly.
