Nawlins/Katrina + 1 yr. : What did we learn for NEXT TIME?

@CWO:

@ABWorsham:

I was sixteen years old; it was the Christmas of 1996. I had been playing Risk and heard stories of a WWII game called Axis and Allies. I found the game at Toys-R-Us. My dad thought I was crazy paying over fifty dollars for a board game, but he did like the picture of Rommel on the front cover.

I was Germany my first game. Five of us played. I remember attacking capturing all of Africa. My friend’s father gave up saying the game was too long for his taste.

I wonder what your dad would have thought if he’d known that, a few years in the future, a two-part Global 1940 game costing about three times as much would come on the market, and I wonder what your friend’s dad would have thought if he’d known that this Global 1940 game would take about three times as long to play.

He would just shake his head in disbelief. Dad is very cheap.

I would have phases where I would listen to a ton of Brian Johnson AC/DC for months ( favorites are: Shoot to Thrill, Hells Bells, Nervous Breakdown, Guns For Hire, Deep in the Hole, Snowballed, Sink the Pink, Thats the way I wanna rock and roll, For those about to rock, The Razors Edge).

Then I would switch into a Bon Scott phase that would last for months as well (favorites are: Let There Be Rock, Walk All Over You, Overdose, Squealer, The Down Payment Blues, Whole Lotta Rosie, Shot Down in Flames, Dog Eat Dog, Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be, Ain’t No Fun Waiting Around to be a Millionaire).

Congratulations all of this rare event that happens once in a hundred years!

how many time i do not do what i want to do but do what i dont want to do

Maybe not surprising, ajgundam5, but certainly deserving of praise.  The US invented the game of basketball, but now struggles for dominance…point of reference.

Cystic Crypt, congratulations to the gold medal winners.  Their hard work paid off! :-D

the bodies that will fall from the sky in future rains.

5.56 weighs 12g and 7.62x51 weighs 24. The person with the 5.56 fires with 3 round burst, the person with the 7.62 fires semi-auto. 3 shots=1 kill or 1 shot = 1 kill? Which is better? 36g or 24g? A 30 round 5.56 will get you ten pulls of the trigger if set on 3 round burst (the 3 round burst compensates for the smallness of the round. A 20 round 7.62 will give you 20 pulls.
