[Steppes] Gulf Wars 2005 - Gift basket Project recap

[Michelle Dodd]

My understanding from HE Valeria's message was; that they wanted 19 packages 
of 2 or 3 games to put 1 package in each gift basket,. That not all of the 
packages had to have the same games & that they should Not all be made out 
of the same materials.
Possibly I misread something.
