I doubt that would happen. Who’s gonna remember Radiohead 20 years from now?

And don’t forget Sabbath!!!

What are you smoking and where can I get some?

I disagree the Baltimore fans did nothing when their team bolted except lay there and take it. Then they stole someone else’s team. Can’t comment on Tennessee or the 49er’s but I know I hate Carmen Policy.

Sepultura!
OLD Metallica!
SLAYER!!!

John Jaha? Didn’t you play for the Brewers back in the day? And yeah I remember us forcing the NFL to give us our team back. There were so many faxes and stuff coming into the league office it was basically shut down for days on end.

That post was mine….forgot to log in.

Well then I’ll weigh in and say once we stop suffering from that Grant administration I’ll stop blasting HIM!! How about W’s daddy who didn’t finish Saddam when he had the chance and now junior is sending more of our guys in harms way because of it? Or that oatmeal brained Reagan who tripled the national debt? And curse you Jimmy Carter for the whole hostage thing and Millard Filmore you suck too!

Mr. Clinton? Is he still the President? Believe me I’m no liberal, in fact I think I’m probably right in the middle when it comes to politics but I think it’s time to stop blasting Clinton he hasn’t been the President for two years now so let’s all get over it. I also have a very deep mistrust of religion when it comes to politics. If I wanted to live in a theocracy I’d move to Iran.

I didn’t comment on partial birth abortions because I don’t know enough about them to make a comment. I’m not defending abortion, like I said I personally wouldn’t want my girlfriend, wife or whatever getting one, but I don’t believe it’s up to the government to legislate morality.

It depends on who you’re playing with. If somebody thats whines a lot is playing and it benefits them they will probably want to aloow it. On the other hand a whiner is most likely to stick with the rules if it benifits them. I actually saw a fistfight spring up over somebody moving a transport they had forgot to move on non-combat movement!

I think it’s up to the individual really. Is abortion wrong? Yes, I believe it is but I also think that the decision whether or not to have one is up to the woman and really depends on the circumstances. In cases of rape or incest I think the victim should be allowed to make up their own mind. In effect I think abortion should be legal but I wish people would stop using it as a form of birth control! Buy a box of condoms or at least borrow some from a friend if you’re a cheapskate!

Thanks Cystic, maybe if he realizes his posts won’t be up for long, he’ll just go away.

That’s what I was doing in my game…flying fighters and my bomber over to Russia while shipping infantry and tanks across as well. Russia just need to be a bit more careful in selecting when to attack and when to go on the defensive.

I’m pretty sure it is. He was on here a week or so ago doing it to somebody else too.

That was me, sorry I wasn’t logged in.

Please do if possible.

Thanks TG Moses, I will probably pick that game up when we start to look for a new game to play. I also looked at Eagle’s website and like the look of the other games on there. I wonder what this Blitzkrieg & Bombers will be like?

Hamlet
Othello
Bonfire Of The Vanities…absolutely hilarious!!
For history…THe Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote…IMO the best books on the Civil War ever written
and of course…Private Parts and Miss America by The King of All Media!!

No doubt he wanted to get away from the Brits but more fuel would have given him a better chance of doing it. He may have been able to try to mavuever a bit more in order to lose the Brits before heading for France. Another thing I just remembered, I’m not sure what sub it was, but a German U-Boat sighted the carrier Ark Royal and battle cruiser Renown just before the carrier launched the strike that crippled the Bismark but her captainwas unable to do anything because he had no torpedoes left. Just another example of how much luck really does play in a war.

I doubt that the Germans could have defeated England by invasion for one reason: the Royal Navy would have smashed up any invasion fleet the germans could have mustered for the attack. The Germans didn’t have anywhere near enough naval power to sustain an invasion. If the Germans had simply fought a war of attrition they may have been able to starve the British into submission with their U-Boats but this is doubltful too. Most of the new developments in ASW during the war were British in origin so the Brits would have gotten very good at hunting down U-Boats and would probably been able to keep the sea lanes open on their own. America was also providing destroyers to the Brits to help in this area. The Luftwaffe simply wasn’t a match for the RAF as was proven during the Battle Of Britain. The Germans would have probably done lots of damage to southern England but they would have taken huge losses in doing it and we all know that there was no way in hell the Brits would ever just quit.

One major mistake made by Admiral Lutjens was not refueling when he put in in Norway before heading out to raid convoys. One of the main rules of naval warfare is never, ever pass up a chance to refuel when you can. Had he had the Bismarcks fuel bunkers topped off when he had the chance he may not have had to worry about his fuel situation and be forced to turn for France. One other thing, even if the Bismarck HAD attempted to run the English Channel, she may have made it. The Scharnhorst and Gniesenau ran the Channel in broad daylight and got through without a scratch.

I played a game once with Russia unable to attack on the first turn and Japan and Russia not at war. Russia was only able to attack Japan if Germany was defeated and for Japan to attack Russia they had to capture Sinkiang, China, India, and Australia. It didn’t really seem to even things up too much for the Axis as it eliminated any realistic chance for an IPC victory.

Yeah the AI is pretty mronic on Iron Blitz…although the AI on most games is pretty stupid. Every year Madden is supposed to have “the smartest AI ever” yet you can still run the same offensive plays and blitz packages repeatedly against the AI.

I usually see the U.S.S.R. attack the German fleet (such as it is) in the North Sea on their first turn with the sub and transport they have. Usually when the Russian sub hits the German player takes the transport as his casualty, then the Russian loses his transport then the two subes keep rolling until one of them is gone. But no matter who wins the German transport is usually lost.
