Nik,
I have both the East Front and West Front by Talonsoft.
I also have many of the Panzer Campaigns by HPS.

I like the ability of the German ground units against both the US/Brits and Russians. Especially the Panther tanks. and the MG platoons

Somehow, I started this game as the Allied and have little experience playing the Japanese. Usually, I like the underdogs in most war games.

Go Figure. . . . .


TIGER KIDDIE!!!!!!!!!

where are my white phosphorous rounds......AmmoSgt?

i never had any doubt on that one!

Anyway, it is time for the GUESS THE NAKED ANIMAL contest.

OK - same rules as before. No multiple guesses, no hints, and be specific as possible. I.e. - bird, fish, mammal and the such are not valid guesses as they are too broad a category.

I've never done it, but if i have a fish or snake in mind, i will expect a direct "hit" to get a win (i.e. - Bass, Trout, or whatever, not "fish", or if i do a snake, you need an answer like "garter snake", not just snake).

EDIT - start time 9:30 a.m. CST - 1 1/2 hours to go (again).

Not unless I'm a plant. It's the two-spotted spider mite. It sucks them dry and leaves webbing all over the plant. I spent three years of my life studying those little critters (and got a Master's Degree), as well as needing glasses too.

Yup - i knew what Tetranicus urticae was (well, after googling it), but i figured if you knew of them, you may well be infested with them (well, you personally, or your abode).

By the way, ARE you a plant??

BTW, the "urticae" is usually attached to things that cause itching. So, did these things ever bite or cause an allergic reaction??

Ah - i guess they do:

Med Lav. 1997 May-Jun;88(3):220-5. Related Articles, Links


[Sensitization and allergic pathology in a group of workers employed in insect breeding for biological pest control]

[Article in Italian]

Cipolla C, Lugo G, Sassi C, Belisario A, Nucci MC, Palermo A, Pescarelli MA, Nobile M, Raffi GB.

Dipartimento di Medicina Interna e Biotecnologia Applicata e Medicina del Lavoro D. Campanacci, Universita degli Studi di Bologna.

On the basis of the results of a previous study and immuno-allergological tests, a group of workers employed in breeding insects for biological pest control were studied to ascertain whether any new sensitizations to arthropods recently included in the work cycle occurred and whether any new allergic diseases were observed. The results confirmed a high sensitization to Ephestia kuehniella and to Orius, the latter probably due to contamination; sensitization to Tetranicus urticae and to Planococcus citri were observed, although to a lesser degree. It is concluded that the insects used in biological pest control are highly allergogenic and that the protective devices used up to the present were ineffective; the authors therefore recommend the use of closed or semi-closed cycles along with local ventilation equipment.

but i guess (according to the article posted above) they are highly allergenic. Did you have any problems with that?
