BTW guys, I am on the road again and playing these turns out on my new laptop! Everything is working fine so far. Sad that this relatively cheap laptop is better than my main desktop rig at home :)

I've learned that expanding like Germany in 1938 will earn me the Molotov Ribbentrop treatment from my neighbors. #:-)   :hide:

Been there, done that  ;D

Or, put another way, "All of this has happened before, and will happen again."

PS:  Still laughing about the Skeletons on the hat vid you posted in the last game!

Heh, I guess if there were a nation in the game with a rat's anus as it's banner, I'd feel like less of a bad guy :D

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.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


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.

Mitchell and Webb had another great Nazi sketch:

Nobody makes comedy laughing at the Nazis like the Brits, some other excellent ones:

And in the interest of political fairness, SCTV's fake Soviet TV spots:

No idea why embed isn't working for me.

It sure didn't take long for this lot to devolve from "peace among nations" to "World War Ascension"  :crazy2:

I always felt the Jedi a little too cult-like, the Sith too self-destructive.  Perhaps it is time for another path.

Or perhaps just a path.  Any path, at this point.   ;D

Sorry guys. Had a little problem pop up and had to have eye surgery today. Will try to get back on track Friday (tomorrow).

"One-eye". A proper translation of the text clearly indicates the individual will have one eye.
