Is that a hypnosis pod under the wing there? Starts spinning and mesmerizes the incoming fighter pilots?

Any diagnosis yet, Nik?

no conclusive diagnosis. GI doc is now saying it's stress induced. There's a distant poss. of stomach cancer but its a low probability.

I am sorry to hear that Nik. Saying a prayer for you.

What in the world happened there ? Is that staged, or real ?

No, not staged. It was driven by this israeli tank driver in an officer's exchange:

I am. Not so much staying up late, but staring at my notes in bed and then thinking about it most of the night after turning out the light.

Actually no. But I've served in Kosovo. Also, the last two years of my service in the Swedish Armed Forces, I worked at our Joint Forces HQ/J5 branch/Balkans desk. I have just quit that job though and started as a teacher at our national defence college instead.

Interesting. Do you have a specific area of interest that you specialize in ?

Not really - I'm supposed to teach in general military theory and it's appliance on tactics and operations (using examples from military history).

However, as a side project, I'm also supposed to try out new games to see if we can use them in our lessons, as well as to design scenarios for "The Operational Art of War" which we use as gaming engine during some of our exercises ...

Hey Grollub, when were you in Kosovo? I was there 2004-2005.

Oh yes! The wife questioned me about it though. She was wondering what the difference was between WitP and AE. I didn't explain it satisfactorily though. I did get some strange looks from her though.

She was appalled when she learned that some of you guys worked 3 years on it in your spare time.......for free. I suspect you guys got a free copy of the game but that's probably all for the most part.

Well, for "free", read "had to work for it for three years", but yeah...

Yeah.

My wife just didn't get that many of us wanted more realism. She figured WitP was realistic enough. I just couldn't get her to realize that there are many here who know far too much detail about it all.

Welp, I got AE. I think the learning curve from stock to this will be as steep as the learning curve from nothing to stock. Cool to see all the HDMLs and AMCs, though.

I'm having a problem with the ship designations. Gotta keep referring to the manual.

Yeah, and they're all so small!

On the plus side, I think the Pearl Harbor strike only killed one, maybe two of my battleships, tops. I was getting a little worried by all the alarmist rhetoric going around.

I keep telling myself that I won't, but I'm sure I will end up printing the manual here at work before I go home today.
