Would you date Gargantua?

series of History of the First World War by Marshall

Candelvish Publications(they did the W.W.2 series).

Pictures, illustrations, charts, graphs, side articles of W.W.I,

written by the generation who went thru it, and, the ones

afterwards.

Your library might have a loaner series, to take a book home,

or, order it thru the state library system.

I read my series at Buffalo Main Branch at the turn of the

century, took me under two years to go thru the whole series

of books.

Impossible one does not get a feel for The Great War, much

less ideals for House Rules, thanks, Pellulo

On adding a hit differential calculator, I think having this additional info in the game would be quite interesting and useful even though I do agree that not all dice luck in the game is equal. Its more information but will sometimes lend itself to a misinterpretation of the actual luck of each player.

I do think though that if there is a way to avoid counting superfluous hits, that would make it more accurate. Some dice luck doesn’t matter to the game  and so shouldn’t be counted. If 6 fighters attack one destroyer the consequences in game terms of a lucky roll of 6 hits is the same as an ‘unlucky’ role of 1 hit or an average roll of 3 hits. It doesn’t actually matter to the outcome of the game but the measure would make it appear significant.

A TUV differential might have other problems, but it would solve this since superfluous hits aren’t going to impact on it.

But I thought another way to do is to take this hit differential counter and modify it when the hits exceed casualties in a combat. That is to say, in combat rounds where the expected number of hits and the actual number of hits both exceed the number of casualties taken, the hit differential of the victor in that combat round doesn’t get counted in the hit differential. This assumes we can break it down by combat round and I’m not sure if that can be done.

If that can’t be done then perhaps in situations where the combat only goes one round, and the expected number of hits exceeds the number of casualties, we could just ignore the hit differential of the winner of that combat. That would at least remove all situations where you send a stack after a lone unit. I think?

Seeing my older brother every Christmas after he left to go live with his dad. My older brother died about 9 years ago short one year of his 50th birthday. No Christmas gift can ever replace him.

I use Mandom… what more needs to be said…?

A good series is Marshall Cavendish W.W.I series. This 12 volume set, is usually found in libraries, encyclopedia articles of the war, some written or based on people who lived during the war.

Rich in pictures, graphs, charts, illustrations, side stories of the Great War. If you cannot find what you want to read here, then it probably be a hard search for that particular subject.

Some libraries hace a duplicate set of books, letting you take a volume home. You can try the net, used book stores, good luck in getting a set, enjoy the read, thanks, Pellulo

I must confess I cried myself to sleep many a night when he was too busy with work to grace us with his presence. May it never happen again!

@wittmann:

Does it matter?(And would you want to be able to follow all of Garg’s mental connections?)

Good point ;) But at the same time his connections can be interesting/funny to follow :)

@ABWorsham:

Russian chicks must love A&A.  LOL

I like A&A and I’m a Russian.  /shrug.

@cystic:

What a waste of time!!  No classy hot chick would be caught dead with one of you/us gamer-losers . . . well, except for our wives, i guess . . . .

Nice back peddle, ya better be calling your wife a classy, hot chick. hehe. smile

@LT04:

The first dating add I saw was for Russian girls.  I thought well we probably use the word Russia a lot on this site so I let it slide.

The second one I saw was for Japanese girls.  Well I’ll let that slide for the same reason.

The third add I saw was for gay guys.  Some of my wife and I’s closest friends are gay so don’t get me wrong but I thought that was kind of a leap.

Your thoughts,
LT

What, you arn’t looking for a date?  Dang.
