In honor of Scotland's referendum.

Hard as it was, I refrained from using any of the puns from the previous Scottish thread.  http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2014/09/18/like_stratego_with_more_bagpipes_scotland_independence_referendum_hammer_of_the_scots

Great Scot! An excellent idea!
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I've always thought that game looked interesting, but I've never been able to nail down the rules.

Am I missing something? I don't see a pun in that reply. The shock almost kilt me.

Actually, if you want to leave comments -- from a wargamer's perspective -- on the FP site or on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/foreign.policy.magazine), that would be great. Most people aren't familiar with historical wargames, and someone to guide them would be wonderful.

MacPuns are optional.

I call it a "stealth pun".  They're the most dangerous kind of all.   >:D

The pun equivalent of a Silent but Deadly?

Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost...

I got my time machine, got my 'electronic dream!"
