I may be setting up a game around the 15th of Jan with a friend of mine from this site who is visiting. I will contact you if it looks like a go.

Haha, I was checking to see if a movie had been represented yet, and saw I repeated myself.
But anyway, since it's been referenced lately: Spaceballs.
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

I played agan this past weekend, the scale is off on the planes, and the Armor is bigger too, the Maus is huge.
There are also multiple types of units, there are ME 262, as well as FW 190s and Bf 109s. The Sub is a type XXI and I'm not fond of that piece, but it comes in handy.
The artillery are 88s as well as the nebelwerfers. There are also two infantry poses, one with the KAR 98 and one with an MP40.
In general the pieces are ok, not as good quality as the hasbro games, but the map, as I've said before is awesome. There are some rules I don't care for, but rules can be changed or modified.

So... I guess I'm missing something, where in the theory of intelligent design does it say anything that compares with “it is the duty of true Muslims to fight half the world to mutual destruction so that god will return to the earth and save everyone"?
I think there is a huge difference between Christian fundamentalism and Islam. Every day in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East people are killed for not just having the wrong religion but for not being in the right sect of that religion. I won't say that never happens here, but when it does those people are looked at by the general public as freaks and legal action is taken, prison etc. In the Middle East these types of people are often looked at as heroes with great moral strength.
You may think that incidences like that are rare, but I will tell you that the people there expect to be punished severely if they don't live their lives within the confines of Islam.
I wish I could explain more about my experiences, but much of how I did my job is classified for good reason.

LMAO, OK....
I will tell you that in that part of the world people aren't as connected as you. Schools in that part of the world are religious schools and they have no one to account to for what they teach. There was a local national interpreter that I worked with who told me that when he was in grade school there was a day regularly where they burned the Israeli flag.
I'm not going to bother to try to convince anyone here or anywhere else, but I doubt you have any idea of what religious fundamentalism looks like or just how prevalent it is in the Middle East.

I read through a couple pages of this, so if what I am thinking isn't original forgive me.
How about a unique unit that costs 3IPC fights at a 1/1 (on a D6) but the unit gets the same advantage as submarines, hits don't return fire. I would also eliminate the transports and give them a movement of two and alow them to cross water. They would also be allowed to be transported like Infantry.
I think I may give this a try in my next Game, but I would like to hear any feed back...

I would sugest Boondock Saints and Rocknrolla if you like Snatch and Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels
I watch Dexter on Show every week.
Rome was a series on HBO that I watched the first two seasons of in like two days, it was great if not completely acurate, I think it got canceled, but I'm not sure.

Let me chime in on this discussion with some information I have learned firsthand. I spent the last year having discussions with detained suspected terrorists. I can't get into allot of details. But I can tell you I've learned allot about a sect of Shia Islam known as Imami Shia. Imamist believe that the "Antichrist" is a force of evil they see this force manifested in the US and its colony Israel. They believe that prior to the return or the Twelfth Imam - Muhammad ibn Hasan who has been in hiding for over 1000 years, the world must be descended into apocalypse. The Imamists believe that war with the west is inevitable and the result will be the reemergence of the twelfth Imam as well as Jesus, the resurrection.
90% of Iran is Imamist Shia including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Khomeini.
For me that is reason enough to do everything we can to keep Iran from getting Nuclear weapons.
