New forum based on history and just a little gaming

This year saw various “celebrations” of the 70th anniversary of the “Dam Busters” raid.

I have a problem with this, since it was in effect an act of terrorism, which killed about 1600 civliians and had minimal effect on German industry.

It’s rather like the German government celebrating the anniversary of the bombing of Rotterdam.

Still, more people are offended by the fact that the commander called his dog “nigger” than the destruction of human life. Don’t worry, though, as in the new film version the dog is renamed “digger”. So that’s all right, then.

@Brain:

Looks great. Can’t wait to see the video of the new game pieces.

Can’t wait to make it!  :-)

Actually, in my original day we had D&D, not D&D 2nd Ed or 3rd Ed, real, basic D&D.

MMORPGs just have never been able to reclaim the same feel.  They always screw up the cleric.

I try to look forward instead of backward.

And you don’t think we oppose them too? But so far, no hate crimes have been committed or buildings exploded. I say that would be Democracy at work.

just finished a great game. 112 turns (I like to keep track) 75 hours roughly. I lost, playing Allies. Damn was that fun!

I got ****ing lucky. First turn, Germany and Japan each take no casualties in initial attacks, Germany has enough stuff to hold eastern Europe. Third turn - Germany attacks Ukraine with like 10 infantry and a boat load of fighters, gets no hits, and 7 out of my 9 infantry hit. By turn 7 Germany was daed
and he conceeded. Japan was still in Yakut.

have there been any other hacks of this site since this thread?
