Talsonsoft board vet. Ashton still gets no mercy.

Has it really been 8 years?

Status: offline 		What is this thing called "wife?" Is that a reference to the shadowy, shrill figure standing in the door to my office that keeps telling me "Its just a game!!!" Kind of like being von Rundstedt and listening to Hitler screaming nonsensical orders over the wireless from East Prussia. Deep down, you know you should be paying attention, but the messages don't have any basis in reality.

Status: offline 		My name's Marc, bought TOAW vol. I in 1998, TOAW vol. II in 1999, TOAW CoW in 2001. Have 9 nine PBEM games going (down from an all-time height at 15 a year ago). 99% of my computer time is TOAW-related, I keep thinking about scenario ideas while driving, I've read the CoW manual several times in its entirety, I'm trying to get a nephew into this habit, I've even talked about TOAW to mesmerised work colleagues - the rest I'll keep under the shroud of secrecy...

Now if you would excuse me, I've got three turns awaiting tonight...

1) Yes dear.
2) I'm sorry dear.

And the 3rd to be used only in the direst emergencies:

3) I didn't hear you dear.

I'm a recent convert.

There have been quite a few posts by people who apparently haven't played the game before. But we might have scared them all off by now.

That is true. email me a turn and we'll take it from there(nothing pre WW2). BTW my return rate isn't what it used to be. My new job as an amateur social worker is interfering with my career as a professional TOAW 3 player these days.
