| Been on vacation for the last two weeks so I'm a little late but here are my thought anyway. Not sure at all what "Marching Fatigue" means. If it means marching all night then it would be one of my choices. If it means marching before going into battle then it would not as there are 100's of example... |

| My congratulations to General Whitehead for his complete rout of Lt. George Denney at Manassas. From skimming General Whiteheads detailed accounts, he is to be commended for his skillful execution and his understanding of this field. Being General Whiteheads orginal opponent in this battle I figured... |

| [quote]<i>Originally posted by D.S. Walter</i> I swear that in the Nappy games as well as PzC/MC/SB and EAW games this is quite normal. In fact, why shouldn't an attacker take higher casualties even if successful? Since it seems so normal to me I can't say I would ever have noticed that it would be ... |

| A few years back I took a little time to look at melees in the HPS system as opposed to the BG system. One improvement is the HPS system is a lot less attacker friendly. One reason, as stated before is the modifiers are figured in as percentages as opposed to 100 man units (For example 200 men melee... |

It's not surprising everyone's well mannered. I'm figuring that's a likeness of you we're seeing on your flag so in NYC you fit right in, just one of the crowd......wink.

| "Has anyone played a game with no objective hexes and victory decided only by damage inflicted on the opponent?". Yes. Try some of Dave Littons blind scenerios. Some have V hexes, some don't. All are enjoyable. Years ago, I started a little concept where a game was played with two moderators, one CS... |

| I'm a Toy Soldier collector and couldn't come up with anything with a very quick Google search but I'm sure there are shops in NYC. You might want to try the Forbes Magazine Gallery. There's a collection there of over 10,000 soldiers and 500 toy boats. Maybe they have a shop or can refer you to a st... |

I always look at in the context of 40 or 50 turns where the cheater likely looks at his deed in the context of one turn. And of course the cheater knows the deed being p... |

Yeah Ken, traffic's an area where DC can definitely improve.
Hell, we're number 2 in the nation, there's no reason in the world we we can't focus and take that number one spot from LA.

| Yes Ken. Metrotech is the name. Strange I know. It's in the shopping center where Loews and KMart is. But the name is really no stranger then, for example something like "Fox Gen Estates" where there are no foxes, no glen and at 1/10 acre lots, certainly no estates....Ah marketing. I've bowled at th... |

I checked it out a lot when I was heavy into Harpoon but haven't recently so it may have changed. There's Alumni Hall which lists all the alumni killed in a... |
