Legion:  It was nothing important.  I responded to your comment that not many people have commanded a rifle company in the jungle with the question of whether commanding a USMC weapons platoon in the Panamanian jungle counted,  and suggested we trade stories some time. I didn't even notice the comment about women, and I don't know if it was added later or I missed it. _________________ Neal

Sidebar again, Neal, yes, I had 3 deployments with the 101 to Panama, and was award the U.S Army's "Jungle Expert" patch ... I'm sure we have waded the same swamps and crossed thru the same stretches of thick jungle ! ?That is why I said "few", I knew you were with the USMC, so you and Tas as a former Aussie Gunner may know more about what I speak of. ?So my point is, again, that the 3 of us are going to have a different "take" on things, than P/G, Periodic, dafrca, Jimbo, Maksim, Chris, GA 101 etc. and many others. ?Now I'm not berating those guys (I like you guys !) or anyone else, but our past "colors" our present ... ?And everyone's comments are welcome in an "intellectual" discussion ?  And Neal, feel free to PM me to talk about being a Grunt anytime !   Back on topic - Guys, I say let it go ... E-A will be a released in a 3-4 months and we will all be happy ! And we'll have a whole new set of "rants" ! _________________ Legion 4 "Cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War !" ...

Quote (MaksimSmelchak @ 19 2003 Aug.,15:09) The photos I'd like to send you for the site are going to be delayed. My sister is going through a divorce and she's my chief photographer and editer (Darn, she's good with Paint Shop!). Sorry to hear that she's going through troubles. I haven't used Paint Shop for years - I always thought the animated gif part of it (version 5 or 6) was the best ever. Currently using (in the main) Fireworks, but will dabble with Photoshop and CorelPhotoPaint. I kept the E-mail with instructions from you how to send you the photos and in what format. advance warning, my e-mail address will be changing... as I am now sick to death of the 2-300 odd spam messages I get per day and even more disappointed with the false positives that my anti-spam measures do (poor Darkone's messages to me kept been deleted). New site address will be available soon (as soon I have my ADSL up and running (router died on me)). What's the new address (well it's up and runing, but no content at the moment) www.ifelix.co.uk _________________ Jimbo Felix's Gaming Pages Felix's Gaming Pages Blog Almost Always Right...

I have always expected a persons past experiences and life experiences were part of their point of view. I would never be offended if you felt the same way.   I agree, someone who has had combat experience will see combat very different from someone who has not. But I sometimes feel that in order to enjoy a game, sometimes those real world experiences need to be set aside for game play reasons. We all know a game will never simulate the real thing. One time I was the GM of a group. They wanted to play Twilight 2000 and I was dumb enough to agree. The game ended because every week there was something I did wrong based on one players real life military experience. From that I realized sometimes we must ignore what we know from our real life experiences for the sake of game mechanics or even just plan fun. I think of the family friend who can not go see any police movies because he can not let go of his real life as a policeman long enough to enjoy a silly Hollywood romp. I feel I am rambling so I will stop. Bottom line is, I would never take offence to someone sharing their insights into the real world.   dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

Jimbo (and everyone else): Some spam comes from registrations and email addresses you post on sites.  My best recommendation is to use something lke Hotmail and sign up for multiple accounts. For example I use knowltonXX@hotmail.com (that is actually 01) for my primary, but use knowlton02@hotmail.com for all my registration BS.  Then I have knowltonsworld@hotmail.com which is for my site.  I have another old one which was my old primary, and like Jimbo, are getting 200-300 emails per couple of days there as well. Hell, sometimes I create an account for just a one shot registration ID, and then never use it again.  I might get an odd Spam here and there in my primary, but I think that is out of my control and someone cracking Microsoft's servers.   Hope this helps someone. _________________ Please check out my website: http://www.system17.com

Hi! One of my problems is that I'm TOO decisive. I make up my mind and stand by my actions very quickly. I've learned over the years since I'm too hasty to seek the advice of others and wait a little before taking action. Well, taking into consideration this isn't a "life altering" desicion I dont see anything real bad coming from it. Sometimes you need to "dive in". Not all solutions are gained calmly or even logically. When you deal with people one needs to be aware that the "illogical" is quite commonplace. I think you took it pretty "mildly". Myself? Well, I tend to look for answers after the autopsy report is in. Of course that doesn't benefit the guy on my table..... I still have faith in Jervis...   I'd say "Don't you?", but I'm afraid of your potential answer, Primarch!

Well, I tend to only have faith in the organ grinder not the monkey . Jervis is a nice guy but he's not the majority owner of GW, therefore he doesn't call the shots. He may be a respected games designer to us, but at the end of the day he's just another employee. The suits hold all the cards.

Well, it wasn't as bad as you expected, was it?
