      @Imperious:

      Cheating is stupid. Victory with it always has an asterisk next to it.

      It’s just a freaking game and if you have to cheat, you have major psychological problems and should address them rather than play games IMO.

      Just like all the steroid use!

      @ABWorsham:

      I’m enjoying the evolution of Ventress.

      I like where that character has gone as well. The other thing I think they do really well with characterization is how often they show how angry Anakin is and how more or less serene by comparison Obi-wan is. Obi-wan is always reigning himself in and Anakin is always about to slip off the chain.

      I vaguely recall seeing an old Popular Mechanics cover which showed an alternate solution to the problem of widening the Panama Canal to accommodate warships broader than the 110-foot width of the locks: building a railway that would allow the US to move battleships overland from the Atlantic to the Pacific and vice-versa.

      Most Canadians call the E.R.T SWAT.  Way easier to say SWAT and frankly, most Canucks recognize SWAT over ERT.

      Mind you for me as a kid it was a member of the special weapons task force.  No sense of humour.  As a 13 year old kid I was chased into a 24 hour grocery store by some drunken teenagers.  My BB gun was no match for four drunks and a pickup truck.  Long story short when the manager called the police to declare there were men with guns in the store it really excited the small sleepy yokel police department who were sadly disappointed with two scared 13 year old kids were the gunmen.  It was a CO2 bb pistol but still….no assault rifle.

      Wow…

      To me, crawling off of one plane to save another plane, with a spare tire on your back in the 1920’s, fits in the crazy department.

      Bravo….

      Interesting….I would say the other way around. Giving Allies a bid helps then from not getting rolled in 3 rounds. Seriously if you roll unlucky I’ve seen it look BAD on 2nd turn!

      If they think they can sell the skins, the Chinese will start a prison camp for the Pandas and force them to breed, thus saving the species from extinction.

      @Linkon:

      @MrMalachiCrunch:

      What is amazing is that many of these children die because of lack of family planning services.  Many die of starvation due to conflict as well but often conflict is driven by lack of access to resources which is often related to out of control population growth.  Condoms save lives in many ways.

      This sounds very close to the policies of communist China.

      This also sounds very close to the education provided by our many municipal teachers unions.

      Schools should prepare our children for future successful jobs and careers, but my understanding is that there are only so many condom companies that the graduates could apply for after they finish school.

      LOL Well said - and epic!

      Come one though - those are good manufacturing jobs! :P

      The only time I have put of Paris was not attacking the west at all. If that is the case, can the US attack Germany from French territory if France is only at war with Japan?

      Another possible solution could arise if the map is ever redrawn. Please note that I am not suggesting the map be redrawn just to solve this problem.

      However if the map does get changed at any point I suggest splitting Reims into two separate territories.  The northern territory would border Holland and the southern territory would border West Germany and Bavaria.  Then you could increase the fortifications for the southern territory.  This would seem to be the most elegant solution.

      Another idea is to just increase the fortifications in Reims to encourage Germany to go into Holland. As a counter, since not every game should have this, if France falls but Holland was never invaded, Holland becomes a reluctant German ally.

      The logic behind this is that Belgium and Holland were too intimidated to enter the war on the Allies side and thus risk fighting the war on their soil.  How much more intimidated would they have been with no allies on the continent and the knowledge that  Britain could not protect them?

      Under such a scenario I would see Germany collecting all of the income and resources for all of Belgium/Holland. This would be detrimental to Japan and could prove interesting.

      No, but I was looking them over at the store last summer.  I think you’d be better off to buy a used Honda or whatever for a similar price, but they were really not that bad looking for $500.  This Spring they will probably show up again at the stores.  The nice thing about them is you wouldn;t need a motorcycle license or insurance to drive them around trails or whatever (or you could just get a mountain bike)

      Guys,

      ––Thanks for sharing the vid.

      ----Along the same lines, longest bombing mission, I believe the current title holder would be the B-52 bombers that took of from Barksdale AFB, Bossier City, La (NW La.) and flew to Afghanistan to “kick-off” that conflict. I might be remembering their destination incorrectly, but I’m TIRED.

      Yep, I wound like Russia to start with fewer majors, and a couple more minor ICs (not like they will build 10 units in Novo), or have the option to move some of their production capability.
