whenever someone asks me how they can improve their game, i suggest
that they try working on their fundamentals.  the most basic of these
skills must be driving the tank.  this is such an obvious statement
that it deserves a slap in the face, but still a lot of aspiring bolo
players seem to overlook this simple fact.  another obvious point is
that you usually do not want to get hit by pillboxes if you can help
it.  combining these two simple, yet important observations, i made a
quick map to help me work on these skills several months ago....

yesterday, someone from irc saw me playing around on my "timing map"
and asked about it.  trying to explain it in words gave me a headache,
so i figured that i would wipe the dust off of xav's spielborg and make
a little quicktime movie of how i utilize this map for practice....

basically, it's really a stupid pillbox trick, but the few people that
have seen it thus far seem to be amused...  so you guys can all take a
look...

enjoy!
