Wow - well thought-out, HighVoltage and very unique re-working to get away from "winning via score" to instead "win the battle"! Hope it's set up near my booth at the show because I can't wait to see it!

That's a one-of-a-kind treasure - the rest of that truck should be filled with bubble wrap to protect the game in transit. I just printed my boarding pass for my early Friday flight to the Northwest Show; this setup is at the top of my "must try" list. Congratulations on creating this - it's an awesome innovation!

I played a couple games on my firepower this evening and was thinking about the gameplay on the Duel. As others have suggested in the FP owners thread, I pulled out the upper left gate so strong initial ball launches could whip past all 4 'F I R E' lanes, race through the spinner and risk an immediate drain - it creates a bit of a skill shot to get the lanes. I think this would be a good mod in Duel because the ball won't automatically drop through the lanes and begin accumulating crystals. One could use a strong plunge to get the ball to the flippers more quickly to get a jump on inflicting damage. Or, if somebody wants to start collecting crystals right out of the gate they will need a properly placed launch shot.

Of course an extremely strong launch can get quite a few spinner spins and give the ball to the flippers for quick attacks, but there is the risk of a quick drain!
