Our Illegitimate President

Yes sir! But im afraid he’s just a puppet of sorts. The last guy i found out got fired because some of their fantasy RPG noob games dropped in sales. This will have little impact on AH because its still a company sitting on the back burner. Nobody is pushing Avalon Hill to success. All these people are all minimalists doing the least amount of work as possible. No marketing whatsoever is going on except for a few perfunctory “news releases” ,No print media advertisement , no forum support, no special online demos, nothing but crickets. Its a joke and they should all be ashamed.

I will always stand by my view that WOTC is slowly destroying Avalon Hill by neglect. The decision making on what is being produced is not following any overall plan and its got a few titles being circulated from past fortunes made, but no new ideas and the few new ideas that come out are not based on any feedback from the consumer. Making Diplomacy is a mistake along with Acquire. These games are not bringing new people into the hobby as the people who play them already have all the different versions. Diplomacy Deluxe is still the best version ever made san the original Key games version with the larger board.

They should embrace the titles from the heyday: Stalingrad, Afrika Corps, Anzio, Luftwaffe, France 40, rail baron, D-Day, Russian Campaign, Midway, etc… Make these games and bring back The General magazine. You can make these games with pieces, blocks, or counters. All these ideas and they decide on “Acquire”? you gotta be kidding me or what?

This crappy restaurant is located in Ventura country and i learned that Ramsey paid it a visit for his GR Nightmares show.

British and French relations are at new all time low.

Three term for Hillary!
Then everyone would long for W or Bill. But there would be no more US, Canada, EU… All one world!

Anyone know if FDR ever wrote/explained his reasoning behind the decision to run a 3rd and 4th time…

He knew his health was poor.

Was he so egocentric as to think that the US couldn’t muddle through with one of his VPs? No one ever voted Republican back then.

Ah, the Good Ole Days! Segregation, Democrats rule, Unions rule, Greta Garbo, Bogie 'n the Duke!

Did I hear that GM and Ford were having more $$ woes?

There was another battle in KY… :roll: I lived there… :roll:

@T_6:

. . . the people who had a terrible time?

They are divided into two main groups. First, there are those chosen
to visit and believe they had a bad time. Second there are those who believe they were born there and escaped, visited and were captured/tortured, or visited and saw terrible things. This second group
helps fund the control program. Some of the other groups that fund the
brainwashing are the Christian Children’s Fund, the ACLU. the NRA, and the American Red Cross. Of course the plan is so pervasive I only have clues to part of the plot. :P :wink:

“All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been
effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury
of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
But strong natures, backwoodsmen, New Hampshire giants, Napoleons,
Burkes, Broughams, Websters, Kossuths, are inevitable patriots, until
their life ebbs, and their defects and gout, palsy and money, warp them.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson, essayist. “Fate,” The Conduct of Life (1860).

Thank you for those words of bias.

Best of the 20th Century

Ronald Reagan - inspirational leader, made americans proud, killed the USSR and Warsaw Pact threat, brought America back from the economic misery of the late 1960’s and 1970’s Dwight D. Eisenhower - a brilliant man who got things done FDR (War Years) - a leader when leadership was needed Richard Nixon - resignation overshadows the fact he was a good president Teddy Roosevelt - conservationist, expanded US influence in the world

Worst of the 20th Century

LBJ - Corrupt, Stupid, and Foolish…many Americans died for no reason under his leadership, the ‘Great Society’ was a complete failure. JFK - Corrupted by the Mob, Bay of Pigs failure, all flash no substance FDR (Depression Era) - Depression dragged on because of his inept policies Jimmy Carter - Wimp, Apologist, and Poor leader Herbert Hoover - Couldn’t breech the floodgates of the Depression

Whoever the “Jimmy Carter” fan is, is a complete moron. I don’t even have to explain the reasons why he was perhaps the least effective leader this country has ever had.

Well CC, you’re the medical guy, so I can see your feelings about ER. Lawyer shows (and there are too many to count on TV) deserve similar criticisms. Trust me, my older brother is into law, and he can tell you right away, law is not as “dramatic” as they make it out on TV. Most of the time it’s spent in a small office room going over hundreds of pages of text and legal documents. As for the Courtroom, expect to bring a pillow - you will be napping most of the time. As for me, I’m more of the American, political heritage type, so I can pick a bone with the West Wing right away. For example (as a pro-gun advocate), President Josiah Bartlet pronounced the Second Amendment “stupid-ass.” After all, he said to an aide, we have the police! (Apparently, “West Wing” writers don’t know that the amendment exists to protect citizens against tyranny of government.) :wink:

Nah, the government still withholds information from World War II even though all the major players are dead.
