My son is wanting to use the computer, but I am normally processing turns and am finding myself having difficulty releasing it to him. Lucky for me I have this forum to comment on in the mean time!

Well said, sir. Also, don't forget that....ummmm...oh damnit...I had something else to say. I'll get back to yu.


Both of you, how do we know this game isn't just a dream, or that our nurse didn't skimp on our Thorazine in order to save some up for her pet Pomeranian who's been having issues lately?

Yes, I know, the trees are just the right height and the grass is just the right color, Oops, I think the Republican brainwashing machine is getting the better of me. How many electoral votes does Kansas have, anyway?

I believe that when the US was outfitting it's first battleships, a Congressman found naming them after states to be too dull and proposed that one be named "Skeerd-O-Nothin,'" presumably as a counter to Dreadnought.

A great opportunity lost.

The 1st book covers the historical/political/naval/biographical background of the RN/KM 'naval race', the 2nd describes the naval actions of WWI. needless to say, JF figures rather prominently in both!

It was the arrival of my second child last week which pretty much knocked out our weekends for the foreseeable future. He happened to send me a link for the new WitP AE patch and.........

Here I am again!

For the record, I still have a Captain's Log in my backpack which I'll be reading over lunch later today.

[We're part of Battlegroup Singapore if anyone is every looking for a SE Asia match up!]

Star Fleet Battles rules. I've read the time line so many times it's not even funny. I love the General War. Remember when Fast Patrol Ships were called Psuedo-Fighters?

The legislator being mentioned was from South Carolina, if my enfeebled memeory suffices.

BTW: FDRLincoln... the Tiger was my favorite ship in AH's Jutland. I named our next cat Tiger after getting that game.

Well, considering that I don't recall ever having been in a nursing home - unless my whole life is just a Thorazine induced dream...

I remember buying supplement #2 and finding no counters inside! Luckily for me the ADB sent me some counters after reading my pleaing letter. :D

That was back when the BPV were double digits. I'm such a major SFB fanboy, it's ridiculous.

One thing I never tried though, was the Kauffman Retrograde. Did you?
