I have recently added a couple of new features:

* A "1-click Setup" button in the setup page. This allows you to
use pre-made piece setups, so that you don't have to manually place
every unit.

* A "flip board" option in the menu, which allows you to flip the
board 180 degrees to see the game from a different perspective. NOTE:
this currently is CPU intensive, I am working to improve on this.

* I also made a few code changes to make this plugin a little more
efficient.

The update might not yet be posted on Google's website (they seem to be
a little slow to update), but you can obtain the latest version from
the below link:

Enjoy!

I love the game but for some reason when a lower number attacks a
higher number, the lower number wins. Can this be fixed?

Actually, that's not a bug. The game rules actually have the lower
numbers beating the higher numbers. That's why there are more 7's, 8's
and 9's than 1's, 2's and 3's.

I recently added an instructions page to the website, which should help
to clear up the rules of the game. The exact link is below:

Thanks for the advice, Matt. I've been working on the instructions
page to clear up details like that. Let me know if you have any other
questions or comments, I'd love to hear them while adding more features
to this game.

Thank you for the clarification. I have a version of the board game
where the higher number is better. Anyway, this is still a great
gadget! Keep it up!

Matt
