RE: Funniest stories
I was somewhat less than an angelic child, so this is just one of many stories I could tell 8-).
I was an extremely talkative brat, and had a smart-ass streak a mile wide. One day (I was probably about eight), when I was chattering up a storm, my mother simply couldn’t take any more, and said “Randy, be quiet; I don’t want to hear one more word out of you.” And it’s not hard to predict that I said, with perfect timing, “One more word.”
I’m pretty sure I spent the rest of the day in my room :P.

RE: A&AP Not To Popular At This Forum?
I think you’d generally play for 6 VCs, but it’s been a while, so I’d have to set it up again to figure it out :-P.
And yeah, you check for victory at the end of the US turn.

RE: A&AP Not To Popular At This Forum?
These are the changes Moderatr Sinister recommended to make the game more balanced. They work excellently, and I highly recommend their use:
The only rule changes:
1. US makes 25 IPC for the mainland US, not 55 IPC.
2. The US can Lend Lease 12 IPCs a turn to either India or Australia.
3. Victory Islands and Cities are played for rather than Victory Points.
4. When picking victory cities, Japan picks 2 of its VCs, the allies pick one,
then japan picks an allied VC, and the Allies pick a Japan VC, then it
alternates again until there’s 12 VC on the Board (The capitols are always
VCs).Combination of the following:
Victory Cities: Perth, Sydney, Pearl Harbor, Singapore, Manilla, Bangkok, Hong Kong.
Victory Islands: Saipan, Okinawa, Solomons, Iwo Jima, Carolines, Marshall, Wake, Papua, Mariana.
Always: Calcutta, Melbourne, Tokyo, Los Angles.

RE: Finally
Whether 5/5 is realistic or not, I agree that it’d be a game-breaker. Even given three-hundred pieces, a 5/5 piece is going to be the mother of all tanks. A few of those together, keeping Infantry to provide cannon fodder, would be well-nigh unstoppable.

RE: Finally
I’ll reserve judgment till it comes out, but I have high hopes; I’ve always been most interested in the BOTB, and if it’s at least as well done as D-Day, it’ll be worth the money :D.

RE: A&AP Not To Popular At This Forum?
Honestly, I don’t know why there’s not more discussion of A&AP. I’m very fond of it myself, more so than Revised anyway, and it should still be ripe for debate. There are tons of strategies possible, and it’s just as balanced as any of the others (I’d say it’s the most balanced, though only if you play with the edited rules that I do. I highly recommend everyone check those out, they improve the game enormously, and are very simple).
Well, what say we start some discussion then? :P

A prime case of racial discrimination
Excerpt: It was a good start to the year for Sgt Leslie Turner who was awarded 30,000 pounds in an out-of-court settlement after suing Scotland Yard. Sgt Turner was the first black police officer in London’s Metropolitan Police to be made a Royal bodyguard. It was his job to guard HRH The Duchess of Cornwall – that’s Camilla, the Prince of Wales’ new missus, though in some sort of Britannic Teresa Heinz-type arrangement she doesn’t use the moniker “Princess of Walesâ€. Anyway, Sgt Turner ceased being a Royal bodyguard last spring and subsequently brought his suit for “racial discriminationâ€. Here’s the wrinkle: He claims he was over-promoted only because he was black. If he’d been a white copper, he’d have been given a job commensurate with his abilities and he’d have done it fine and been happy in his work. Instead, because he had the misfortune to be a black copper, his politically correct superiors singled him out for a job for which he was unqualified, thus leading to misery and dissatisfaction. The “affirmative action” turned out to be incredibly unaffirmative: In discriminating in favor of him because he was black, they in effect discriminated against him, also because he was black. That, at any rate, is what his lawyer argued, and it worked.
Wow. Damned if you don’t promote blacks, damned if you do promote blacks… man, I love Affirmative Action! :P

RE: Who is gonna win the Super bowl???
And howcome the ball went over the line he had to scrape it back from under his body to lay it over the line after the play stopped???
Instinct. Just what you do in a situation like that, and don’t try to tell me you wouldn’t do the same :P. Point is, it crossed in the air, and was perfectly legitimate. And on top of that, the Steelers definitely played the better game overall.

RE: Who is gonna win the Super bowl???
I didn’t see the foul you mentioned, but that touchdown was legit. The ball crossed (or sure as Hell appeared to cross) the front of the line, the line judge called it in, and there wasn’t enough evidence to overturn it.
