How about this:

Bid 18 for 1IC WEU and 1 Inf EEU  with RR

Then when the Russians move troops from Cau the germans take it hard.

Loose only the BAL sub against the NOR fleet and attack the BB in WMD with ASO Sub CMD BB and Trn.  Loose the sub and Bring an Inf from SEU to drop in Gib.  Divide you Airforce up in support as you see fit.

Take the Arm or two Inf from Fin to Alg.  This blocks the entrance to the Med.

Build your AC and a trany in WEU on the first turn on the WMD coast.  

This should leave you with 1AC,1BB & 2Trn in the WMD

If you loose too many fighters the Japs can land two fighters from Man & Bur in Cau.  These can be moved to the AC on J2 after you move the entire fleet to NOR, there for defence anyway.

I doubt if it would work but its the best I can do to get the result you are looking for.

A dumb guy's question...
Is the Don from Don's Essays the don_riggins who has a good # of posts here? Saw a few good one and a couple of quickies.  A guy who cvould spew that much strategy/logistics might just post like that on other websites. Just asking!?!

Yes

The first one.  My Opinion of course.

I am not afraid of terrorisam.  I think the reason terrorisam causes so much fear is media outlets like Al-Jazeera cater to them and get their messege out.  If no one advertised their message then the acts of terrorisam would do them no good.

So, I think that any Media outlet that conveys information from a terrorist or terrorist organisation, should be held partialy responsable for the groups activities.

Wow, I am flattered to be mentioned in this thread.  I never really though I was that much of a contributer.    

I would say in no perticular order:

Yanny:  When ever I see a new topic by Yanny I know there is going to be a great debate and even though more often than not I disagree with him he getts some great dicussion started.

Soon_U_Die:  A very good A&A player who always has some inteligent annalisis and constructive critsisam for a strategy.  This is not the first Board I have read his posts on.

F_alk: always seems to have a strong opinion and Information to back himself up.  It may be that since I disagree With him alot that I enjoy the conversations that much more.

Honorable mention:
El Jefe: you've got a good start keep it up.
TG: He had some good stuf when he was active and he is a Civil war buff, always a plus.  But, he did spam quite a bit to get that post count.
And there are several of you conservative guys who I tend to agree with on alot of topics, but saying "Amen brother" isn't near as much fun as argueing.

I thought Army of Darkness was more of an action movie.  I will agree that is was a good movie, as long as your not in to realizam.

Here's a question...If below par is good why do most people mean bad or poorly when they say, "I'm feeling under/below par?"

Par simply means what the standard.  If Par for the course is 72 then 72 strokes is the standard # of strokes needed to finnish the course.  If you shoot under par you are doing well.

On the contrary if you are feeling under par, you are feeling worse than standard or normal, thus bad.  

Here are a couple more:

First Indochina war between the French and Vietnamese begins

The trial of German War Criminals

Nuclear test on Bikini Atoll

Just throwing out a few things.

I don't know if any of you have played this game it's a squad level hex type WWII strategy game.

I was at a game store a couple of months ago and I was asking about Avalon Hill games.  You can rarely find them these days.  The lady at the desk mentioned that Curt Schilling, pitcher for the AZ Diamondbacks had bought ASL.  I realy didn't believe it at the time, but I have since found out that it is true.  He basicly bought a publishing company and aquired the rights to the game from Hasbro, who owns Avalon Hill now.  Maybe he'll pick some up my other old favorites like Third Reich!

Must be nice to have the money to buy the rights to manufacture your hobby.

I am interested in learning more about this game.  

I understand it is miniatures, how many pieces are there in an army?

  Give me an idea of the cost.  

Also I have heard that there are games like this using WWII era pieces, any one have info on that?

I love Reagan.  

Once of our best Presidents in history.    (ya, you heard my right Yanny!)

Not ashamed to say I agree 100%

First let me give you a little background on myself.  I am 31 years old.  I was married when I was 24.  I have 2 kids 4 and 3 years old.

I got married 1 year after I met my wife.  9 months of that time was spent planning our wedding.  If I had it to do over I would have waited at least another year.  It’s important to completely understand the needs of your partner before you make the commitment.  You also need to understand what your partner expects from you and you need make clear what your expectations are.  Spend time with each other’s families.  In order to know what your partner will be like to be married to observe the way her parents are.  That way you don’t feel like you didn’t know what you got yourself into later on.  

I don’t think that it is necessary or even advisable to live together before your married.  Don’t get me wrong this isn’t based on some moral code, I believe whole-heartedly in premarital sex.    But I think living together for a time and then getting married changes things and can cause problems in that commitments and expectations when you get married change.

We started to expand our family when I was 27.  I think the decision as to when to have kids is different for different people.  I definitely think you should wait until you establish a career.  People with kids will always tell you that you should have some.  I really think that is like having a swimming pool.  People who have one will tell you its great but they fail to mention all the responsibility involved.

I think the most Important thing to remember is have fun while you can.  Be spontaneous before you get bogged down with responsibilities.  The one thing I always think of after my life changes is that I wish I would have done more before when I could.  Don’t be in a rush, you have another 60 years or more to get to the rest of life.

Oh, Let me add that over the years I have found that my dad gets smarter and smarter.  A lot of the things my dad told me in my teens and twenties that were “just ridiculous”, experience has proven to be pretty sensible.

Guns of August is a good one for WWI.

The Ring is somewhat along the old Hitchcock horror genre...as was stated "no gore" and no blood, too, if I remember correctly.

It seamed to me to be simmilar to that blair witch movie.  Kind of artistic.  

That's a funny story for me.  When Blair witch came out I was sitting at home and that "documentary" came on.  I was so interested I didn't even notice that it was on the Sci-fi Channel.

Then my wife called me and said she got sneek preview tickets to some new scary movie.

So I was all set up to fall for it and I saw it before anyone new it was fiction.   There were some parts that didn't seem right though so I waited until the credits rolled and looked to see if there were stunt people listed.  There are.  That movie didn't realy do that much for me though, exept for the camera shots kind of made me sea sick.  I guess it was supposed to do that though.

stir of echoes and the 6th sense gave me the creeps, i have to admit.

Yeah after 6th sense you kind of wonder about things, like who's watching when you think your alone and you get a shiver up your spine
