When all through the land
Not a counter was stirring,
Not even a chit;
The computers were humming
By their internet connections,
In hopes Matrix would soon be there.
The wargamers were all snug in their beds,
While visions of world conquest danced in their heads;
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long fall nap,
When out of the computer their arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the computer I flew like a flash,
Refreshed the screen and hit enter with a bash,
The monitor, on the table gave an eerie glow
To all the objects in the room,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a ……….(be creative and post your idea to complete this poem)

Well let me tell you this, mister
I've always been a secret lover of wargames,
And they don't come any better than World In Flames.
You want to play? Well I'm just the same,
So don't just sit there, download the game.
But I promise you one thing, you're in for a helluva fight
Cos no one messes with Mrs Warspite.

What? Just so I know, what are you to execute me for? Appalling poems or quoting Eminem?

Okay but can you leave a gap between ready-aim and fire? About 50 years should do the trick.

Its alright for you - you live in the US. Here in little old Englandsville I've got to go to work in a minute and concentrate on that stuff, knowing that people will be downloading the game before me .

You could have watched the 'A' teams at cricket. Oh forgot, it rained. Just as well, the openers would still have been in anyway

Bad news is that the designer lives in Honolulu...you seem to be at the wrong side of the international date line

(Well, as a matter of fact I doubt they use the Hawaiian time zone for the release)

Do you know if there is any WiF Yahoo!/Google group around ir our language? (spanish or catalan works for me).

It could be useful to get more people in Spain to play it, and thus more players available for online gaming in our time zone.


PD: By the way, I'm playing at the moment a 3R play and Hitler has just conquered Spain...
