Steve's got his own thread - doesn't it make more sense to keep this for your stuff as there is then no need for misdirection?

Just a thought.

This is how I've always done it and I look forward to looking at his AAR before I'm senile (wait, what time is it?) but I really would like it if he kibbitzed and talked trash some on my AAR. In fact, the more he contributes the more I'll like it. So, if everything works out according to plan he will spend more time doing AARs than me and I win.

But I'm more that will to throw in the occasional comment if you'd like. But please don't take it personally if I don't bite too often to your "trash talk". Sorry.

I look forward eagerly to your rendition of how you managed to sink KB on the first turn and how this is part of the greater oh-so-nefarious-devilishly-clever plan of plans.

We look forward to your effusive flattery of Sir Geoffry's ego and game play. Overdoing it can be trash too!

You're not sorry. That was some especially good trash talk you just unloaded. Few could match you. I just think it would be wise of you to consider this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2017/02/07/newly-discovered-gecko-has-a-quick-release-mechanism-for-escaping-predators/?utm_term=.fb0136f69845

Aye. And don't forget the non-apology apologies that are trashtalk: "I'm sorry you got angry when I called you fat" or the non-compliment compliments, "For a fat lizard, you don't shed much." These are part of a regular trash talk breakfast.

I tend to respect it when the minor key is deployed. This will be my inaugural song. If you don't like it, that's ok. None of you are from Gorn.

Status: offline 		Maybe the problem isn't the outline of the plan. Maybe the problem is the outline of your head. Consider that AE was designed for human brains. Yours is larger and, more importantly, shaped differently. Try making your plan less brilliant and more in line with puny human limitations. That will get the game started, then you can make adjustments which will dazzle your unfortunate, hapless, puny-brained opponent.

Call me old fashioned but I had a feeling the Thursday target would come and go with no action......

Message to the Gorn. Please, just do what I do in wargames. Get your boaty things at sea and order them to head roughly in the direction of the enemy - ideally with some aircraft as you can use them to bomb stuff. And finally move your troops and if they make contact, you can shoot the enemy or whatever.

I think you are over complicating things.
