A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I remember having the first album and playing it when my high school buddies and I were shooting pool and drinking beer.  His guitar technique had a big influence in the metal world.  He also married a total hottie: Valerie Bertinelli.

May God have mercy on your soul Eddie!  You were one of the very few celebrities I ever envied (mostly due to Valerie).

A friend turned me onto their debut album in the winter of 78 and i ended up seeing VH about a dozen times starting in the summer of 79. So very sad to hear this and prayers to all the family and friends. RIP.

Sad to learn this. He was an outstanding guitarist. RIP.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
