A dog story to rival yours......

So we are watching my wife's brother's boxer for the week while they are in Colorado. Now this dog was born with some sort of digestive disorder that has never been fully explained to me. The vet prevailed on my brother in law to take the dog when it was a puppy telling him otherwise he was going to have to put it down. The dog is on meds and metamusil. Her twice a day meal consists of 2 cups of vegetarian (remember this) kibble and 1 cup of green beans twice a day. She gets her meds at meal time.

So on Saturday my wife and I come in from doing yard work and take showers. She pulls 2 ribeyes out of the freezer and leaves them in the packaging to thaw. She goes to use the computer and I go watch some football. About an hour and a half later she calls me into the kitchen. She asks me if I have done anything with the meat. On the floor is the styrofoam plate the meat came on and nothing else, the meat (semi frozen), saran wrap and labeling are gone. Now our son who lived with his uncle for 3 years over on the west side of the state before moving to Durham in April had warned us this dog counter surfed.

She is a vegetarian for a reason. Her system doesn't process meat at all well. Well the last 2 1/2 days have been very gassy in this house. She did have a very large BM Sunday night I am just glad it turned cool enough to turn off the AC and open up the house

I agree. Put the carriers within maximum range (less 1 or 2 hexes to account for computer stupidity), with plenty o' room on board to take on strays, and I bet you can pull it off....

Not Normal or Extended range. Extended is the maximum mission range. Maximum range. The top number on the group screen. This is the transfer range.

Right..that is pretty much my question. What is the transfer range?

I completely concur with your plan even if it does need a little "fleshing out" as you say. Have you thought about the effect the rout and panic business might have on the civilian population of Australia? I suggest free admission to sporting events on holidays and perhaps free propaganda films.

No need- bread and circuses. Or in the case of the Aussies- beer and football (not rugby thank good- if you can see your way through to letting the LYB overrrun QLD and NSW it would be seen in a favourable light).

I nearly cried. I would have had I not been raised in Spartan household. And I don't mean limited furniture either. My mom is half Spartan on her dad's side. I slept on a plaster slab unitl I moved out to college. Salted beef twice a day, maybe a handful of beans. Sandals all the time, even in the winter. It was Hell but it steeled me to adversity.

"The 1938 series was high-scoring affair with many high-scoring draws, resulting in a 1–1 result, Australia retaining the Ashes"

"The Ashes resumed after the war when England toured in 1946–47, and as in 1920–21, found that Australia had made the best post-war recovery"
