Yeah, I couldn't remember exactly how many units. 9 didn't quite seem like
enough but 16 almost seemed like too many. As for the scrolling, I just
wanted to keep it simple since it seemed like this guy must be very new at
RA2/YR.

It's been a while since I chronoshifted a pile of prisms. Mostly I do chrono
other people's stuff - after chronoshifting one opponent's tank army into
the lake, the next time the chronosphere was charged, he was prepared and
scattered his troops. Unfortunately for him, he forgot about his Harriers
and down into the water they went... It was a crushing blow since they were
all double-veteran level as he'd been using them as his primary base defence
late in a FFA game when nobody had much money.
