He did actually have a personal bodyguard for about 2 years..a massive African American lad with a jaw like a WWII propaganda poster. Never quite figured out why that was necessary for real estate development.



I'm in the architecture business in Florida. I remember an AIA dinner many years ago where the keynote speaker was a prominent architect from Miami.

He told a story of designing a multi-million dollar mansion for a client who paid him in cash. At the completion of the project he went to the site to get photos of the house and was confronted by the DEA who were locking down and confiscating the property.

You can never be sure who you may be climbing into bed with when pursuing development projects in south Florida.

p.s. I too carry a 9mm....a CZ75.

I think most of the investors were good 'ole boys but there were a couple of Colombians who were said to be "soccer palyers"

The sales strategy was quite sophisticated:

1) Invite investors down

2) Go out to the property for a tour and bird hunting

3) Have a big BBQ spread with free booze (after the shooting)

4) After the 2 carbon fragments take effect...bring in highly paid professional women and pretend like they work at the office and just dropped by..everyone parties and then they pair up according to a predesignated attack plan and go back to the free rooms at the hotel on the property

5) Sunday afternoon...after some water and coffee and tylenol you ask for the checks...et voila!

Along those lines was Captain Binghamton supposed to be gay or just "high strung"? Even as a kid I sensed he was very odd.

Further, having dual opponents means an "old hand" around here can be willing to take on the experienced allied position #1 knowing they can, at times, just tell the other player what to do for a couple rounds as they focus on their other game or their non-gaming responsibilities. ((As long as the victors of New Scotland are not completely hand held by experienced ritter yerrow bastalards who get them to play like old hands for the IJ side.))

Just a humble supplicant here begging to more stuff from you guys.

Old-hand/new hand idea is interesting. I suggest you recruit Canoerebel and get him back on the screen. Miss his AARs but understand his frustration at
Campaign Interruptus several times in a row. I think CR would be a great match against Cap M and Sprior.

We need a ton of suppries, AKE's and construction engineers to build up the airfield ASAP.
And some serious surface forces to prevent night bombardment. Maybe a carrier raid on Melbourne to stage a city attack..take out the refinery and aircraft plants (even though they don't make anything useful)

They would have a fuel shortage for sure but what about supplies?

Has anyone either been able to do that or been at the receiving end?
