Oh. Well then I guess that could be just changed into drinking extensively in general.

Ten dollars is still a lot for glorified grape juice.

INTJ, thinking at 50%, judging at 56%.

I was more thinking of smoking, gambling, 4 dollar lattes, and 50 dollar bottles of wine.

Anyways, you can't really teach these kinds of skills to high schoolers because many of them don't really care about school that much. They don't pay attention in class, and really don't learn anything except for the tests, especially the ones who would be at risk of going bankrupt. The smart students, who pay attention, don't really need this because they are intelligent enough to figure out how to manage their finances on their own, and how to budget.

In essence, the class would be preaching to the choir, and the atheists at the same time. People are either already going to know, or not care.

(I know this from experience.)

Getting rid of expensive, addicting habits would be an easy way to eliminate a large amount of bankruptcy.

Vought F4U (I know this is ancient.) 470 miles an hour is my kind of airplane (non-jet).

Does anyone actually think he is being serious? I think he is parodying all the actual conspiracy theories and how absurd some of them can become.

That said, my kids are off to Catholic school next year, which means their clothes budget just shrunk and my beer and war game budget just grew a little.  grin

Catholic schools are private. Private schools cost money. So you are saying that you spent so much on clothes that the tuition for this school will be less than the annual clothes expenses?

Abattle map does that currently, I believe. The window may have accidentally disappeared from your installation, as it did from mine. You just need to reinstall it to correct the problem.

About the bombers, if the U.S. and U.K. both bomb, they can kill 32 IPC's of German income a turn. If the player is smart enough to secure Africa first, then Germany won't be able to survive.

How is the Axis outproducing you?
89  Axis & Allies / House Rules / Cruisers on: March 13, 2007, 10:52:02 pm
Out of lack of better location, I put this post here. Anyways,I think I have devised a great way to incorporate the cruiser into the game. A cruiser was, in essense, a battleship without armor. It had the same fire power (or nearly), but required less materials and production to build than a battleship. Since it was thinly armored, it was much more susceptible to torpedoes or dive bombers. Taking all these factors into account, a cruiser should be made a 12 IPC, one shot kill unit. It can bombard, attack on four and defends on a three, but is easily taken down.

Obviously, though, no one is going to buy a destroyer with a much better unit at the same price. Thus, the price of destroyers should be reduced to 10 IPC's (or Cool to encourage more purchases, and reflect on reality more (I believe the Navy had over 900 destroyers by the end of the war.) Perhaps the values could be changed, but at least the price should be altered.

The 7.43% was for one round, in-case that wasn't clear.
