I know, but I’m not at the lectern, so no money involved.

Call it what it is!
I dont take offense to the word newbe or beginer, we all were at one time.
I like to use the words “new player”, and we always team them up with the best players at our board, we show them as much as we can and explain why we do certain things and the game isnt the end of the world if you crap out on rolls or make a bad move.
We also tell them why we attack where we do and each player has a different plan of attack,and let them choose what they want to do. Some times we reset pretty early too
Its good when a newly started player gets good dice and they can hammer an old pro

@LHoffman:

Now that you mention it… there is a striking resemblence that I have never noticed before.

It’s no coincidence.  Lucas used all kinds of sources for his designs.  If for example you watch the scenes in the movie The Enemy Below in which the crew of the American destroyer have gone to action stations, you’ll note some of them wearing historically accurate oversized helmets that look exactly like the ones worn by some of the Death Star technicians in Star Wars.

Still sunny here, may have to turn on the AC soon.

Anybody know what ever happened to Tcnance.  I had a game going with him and he just disappeared.

except we never caught Hitler.

After reading the article i wondered how any USies ever have traveled abroad or even overseas.
All those that were in France seemed to have seen something else than expected. Who or what might have made them expect the “wrong” thing?
How many will keep their prejudices as they do not/ can not/ can’t afford to travel?
