McNamara civilian tenure at ford featured the Edsel. The showed people a book and let them pick the best grill, the best roofline, the best fenders, etc., thinking that would make a superlative car. We all know how that worked out.
For youngsters...
Ok. Sorry, but since it was all in caps, I thought it was a play on the close spelling. Not meaning to be the grammar police. The first couple times I heard Borg's name, I thought it was a typo.
Looking at the floor by my bed, I have a Berg game ...
Borg? I mean I have games from both, but is this an inside joke?
Cat looks miffed that you're not petting it. I have a black cat with the same white chest blaze, but no stripes on his tail. He's sleeping by me on the couch as I write this. He's not a lap cat, but he loves attantion and he stays close. I live on...
Twenty years in the military and two college degrees prepared me for my current job as doorman, waiter, and personal assistant to a cat.
I wish Rummy would join his partner in crime, McNamara, in Forest Lawn. Both were smug, incompetants.
I have the 1975 edition of Joy of Cooking, and it's old school, taking one from boiling water to complex recipes. In the 1997 edition, they "dumbed it down" because they didn't think modern cooks would take the time and care of previous generation...
Tony, let's give the project to the defense department procurement folks. The electric cat fence would be built by General Dynamics, cost 300 million dollars, take eight years to develop, and wouldn't work. Colored pencils are something you might ...
I need to proofread my posts. Errant apostrophes, bizzare spelling - good grief. Schooy instead of school? How can you hit a y rather than an l? They're not even near one another.
Per cats (what a terrible pun), years ago a buddy and I played Europa's Case White (GDW, Poland 1939) with it's tall stacks of counters. Having lives, we played the game over several sessions. He had a unique way to keep Popcorn, his young, playfu...
Per the legal issues,
MJ was tried in criminal court where the defendant must be proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Thinkk of it as proving there's a 90 to 95 percent chance that he did what he's accused of. The jury might think there was a...
I used the old-school (1970's) Joy of Cooking once and made two coconut-cream pies. Following the recipe, I scratch made the crust, chilled the beaters and bowl, then whipped the cream, and used no substitutes. They were the best pies I've ever ha...
Hey, I'd just be glad to find a sensible, local ftf player for managable games like Europe Engulfed, BtB, POG, Hannibal RvC, Combat Commander, C&C A, etc. I've played War in Europe (made a ping-pong table size playing surface out of plywood), TSS,...

Re: Troop Quality - I've reversed my position on the issue of whether or not support units affect "troop quality". We are now also playing that any unit with a parenthesized defense strength does NOT factor in to the troop quality calculation. As ...
As has been case for most of the 35 yrs since 14 - almost nothing. Have run hundreds of Diplomacy games ftf & online as can always get players. Have run acquire & executive decision as well online. Adapted Fighting Sail & Flying Circus for non-war...
same story though have re-acquired games as hope springs eternal. Someone may want to play 1 of the old SSis they can get for free someday...
Just mainly old Spis & Wargamer(3w)s I had before I moved to Vegas 4.5 yrs ago. Most I never got to play back in Mass & likely will not here either. Did get the SSI Gettysburg so can play solitaire along with Battles of Nap. 13 The Colonies Revolt...
Ha. My mother-in-law calls them "pile games..."
This is a cdg based on the game Twilight Struggle. It also has a battlecard system similar to We the People. It's a free game that you can download here: http://social.consimworld.com/profiles/blogs/final-1989-rules-cards-and-map
Please share more about your game design, description, etc. -- nice job on the cover.
Ooooooooooooooooooo.... Looks good!
I also say Armistice Day. It's a day of peace. God bless all our veterans. Thanks for your service!
My guess is that 34R1 overrides the parent section 33L4. 34R1 states "A friendly naval unit may attempt to detect any enemy naval unit that is within its Surface (or Sub-Surface, for submarines) Detection Range. The player announces the detection ...
