I see, just as I thought.

Ah, the '=1 =2' part is what I had not found.  This makes things a
whole lot easier, thanks!

Cool, that would be a really nice feature.  Could pro'lly even make a
web-based rollout bot then.  Interesting idea...  Enter match & game
IDs, wanted rollout settings and an email address.  Gives an estimate
on time usage and enters the rollout in a queue if there's room.
Mails the results to the user when it's done.  Looks like I have
(more) work set for the holidays...
