Okay guys. Question. I am having a few problems (mine not game's) with moving land units around and making land unit decisions such as with defense of the Phillipines. Can we discuss it here or should I start a thread one level up. I have a lot of fun here. You guys are great. I'm inclined to take it one level up just so it has it's own subject line. Also how far back do the forum threads go? Some of what I want to know may be buried 6 to 12 months ago. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Bruce

Plus, taking it into the main War Room means that more people will read it. Most of the forum denizens, sadly enough, refuse to embrace the glory that is The Thread...

My wife took me out to dinner tonight - and on the way home we drove past the grocery store. She has an aversion to grocery shopping, and thus made the cryptic remark:
"I need some bread, but there are too many people here... besides, if it* is meant to be, there will be a good parking space..."

me (pointing out a space which was geometrically as close to the door as possible): "Like that one?"

Her: "Cr@p!"

Unbeknownst to me, one of her rules is that if you pass up such a spot, you will have bad parking karma for the indefinite future. So, she was obliged to park...

The shopping trip was successful, but was punctuated by my wife's frequent eye rolls...

Hmmm. i need one of these with red curly hair...

(*it = a good shopping trip)

Not happy T. Not happy.

Couldn't sleep properly so woke up at 4am.

Get there at 7.30 (plenty of time since interview was for 8am). All prepped and pumped up to go.

Get in there and I find out (with lots of apologies I must say) the Director's flight was delayed and he hadn't arrived yet. As such it's re-scheduled for 4.30pm. Grrrr. Now i'm knackered after having 4 hours sleep and i'll need to get pumped up and ready again

An ill-advised attempt to increase bulk and "firepower"...

My sick mind, i know...

This reminds me of a home-made "Cops" episode a few years back, where someone
showed Imperial Cops on Tatooine, and it turns out all the events leading up to Luke's
leaving to join the Rebel Alliance were not as they seemed...

The fate of Luke's Aunt and Uncle was actually due to a domestic disturbance that the
Storm Trooper Cops tried to intervene in (Aunt Beru finally snapped causing an explosion
and conflagration).

More on the parody - called "Troops":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troops_%28fan_film%29

and the actual "film" (i think*) at

http://www.theforce.net/fanfilms/shortfilms/troops/

*EDIT - yep - that's the one! Need to download and unzip it (30 mbyte file) - movie about 10 minutes long.

The Thread is lurching its way to 400 pages, 12000 posts - less than 100 to go to 12K, less than 70 to make it to page 400...
