	Thanks.  I'll try that.  I never built guard towers in the single 
player game, so I didn't see a need in the custom scenarios.  I guess in 
these tight situations, they're pretty good.

	I did try to keep the peon army from breaking through the wood 
barrier to no avail the first time.  Maybe cuz it was the first time I 
was a little overwhelmed (yeah lousy excuse I know :>)  I'll try again 
using your strategy.
