	BTW: A JAVA multiplayer version of Risk can be found at:

	  &lt;URL:<A  HREF="http://nilo.borak.es/risk/">http://nilo.borak.es/risk/</A>&gt;

	Not quite my preferred rule set tho.

	&gt;&gt; Translation It took about 30 minutes for the first TC
population
	&gt;&gt; explosion to occur.  20 minutes later they all died of
starvation.
	&gt;&gt; Within a couple days the entire world was knee deep in TC
spores.
	&gt;&gt; TC's need an effective predator which has its own cyclic
population
	&gt;&gt; behaviour (needs to be dependant on TC population, but enough
	&gt;&gt; out-of-step to prevent steady-states from occuring).

	&gt; Sounds similar to the old "sharks and fish" simulation. It was
in
	&gt; the Mathematical Games section of Scientific American some
years
	&gt; ago. 

	Could be.  I've spent significant time searching the Scientific
	American site to no avail (they have one of the worst search
features
	I've found yet).  

	&gt; I recall from playing that a friend and I did that you can
tune the
	&gt; various parameters to keep things going for quite a long time.

	&gt; For those who don't recall it, it was something like this:G

	...deletia...

	&gt; (I may have some details wrong - its been a while.)

	Yes, very similar.  I'd love to dig out that original article.

You can download a simulation program based on it at
