Just remember - there is *never* a special enough occasion to wear only spats.

I feel sad about your marriage.  ;)

At the very least, I would hope that SoM is wearing a monocle. Maybe the monocle-tophat-walking stick 'Mr. Peanut' combo, or is that me getting greedy?

This is only my after dinner attire in the drawing room. For special occasions I wear a full two-tailed doubled breasted tuxedo and spats. For very very special occasions, I only wear the spats.

Tpek, I don't know... it hasn't been an issue for me.

Pocket watch? Tell me there's a pocket watch!

That's just too anachronistic. Pun intended.

So getting back to the topic... 



A couple interesting bits & pieces: 


Supply & logistics gets a brief mention here.  In addition, I believe Dan has stated that deep-space stations can be of some importance in maintaining supply lines as well. 


Dan discusses a bit of his proposed ground combat system in this thread.  (You'll probably want to read the post by "PunkiBastardo" first, since Dan refers back to it.) 

The ground combat model sounds pretty decent, at least on paper.  My favorite part is this:
QuoteIf an enemy troop occupies a square with one of your buildings on it, then that building becomes useless to its owner. So it is possible to occupy portions of a planet and even to have drawn out occupations.

Well the last I heard him mention was sometime in June, s-- 


Wait, what?  Gus, *you're* interested in a 4x game?? 

Odd, I'm not seeing any airborne porcine fleets in the skies right now...

^Very. Has to be the right game though. This looks like the right game. Like the right girl, you know.

Fair enough. 

May your choice for your first 4x game be better than my choice for my first Age of Sail game!

I know you didn't ask me, but it was Wooden Ships & Iron Men.

^That's a legendary game though. I'm thinking Martok is embarrassed of his choice.
