Problem is the game starts in 1942 when the Japs and Germs are in decline.

If this was a 1938 version I could go for a double attack phase for Germany and Japan. (Attack for 1938 and 1939 then the allies get to counter in 1940.)

Why do we search for a cure for cancer when what we need to do is figure out how to give someone the right cancer?

If you are dieing of liver disease, wouldn’t it be great to be able to cut the diseased portions out and make the good portions cancerous, then when it’s regrown, stop the cancer?

(If you want a cure, try taking 2 tablespoons of liquid drano orally. If it doesn’t work the first time around, double the dose and try again.)

Lincoln was before my original mandate of Since WWII.

Mr. Ryan’s only impropriety was wanting to have Sex with his Wife. He just didn’t want to reveal that they attended social gatherings of an adult nature. But he didnt want to have sex with other people or let her do the same. When she said no, he dropped it.

Bush did not personally order the destruction of ballot boxes. IF anyone did that, it would probably be Cheney. I don’t think Bush has a wicked bone in his body, he may or may not be foolish and brash, but I don’t think he has the intention of harming the US Gov’t or it’s citizens.

Daley on the other hand, would burn the flesh off his own screaming mother if it meant he could get 4 more years in office.

Hear of who? Mayor Richard Daley?

He’s a local fish, he’s just so connected to the mob that I think he shares a certain male anatomy part with them as well as their genes and their business practices.

I’d offer him up for $2.00. wink That WAS a joke!

I think return fire from units destroyed by off-shore bombardment is equally silly.

You don’t land troops DURING an off shore bombardment, you land them afterwards. The purpose of an offshore bombardment isn’t even to kill troops, it’s to soften the target and destroy machinery.

UHm, the Democrats were recounting the ballots in Florida, not the Republicans. Just to clear that up a bit.

And yes, finding ballot boxes in the bottom of the river when Illinois State Law dictates they be archived for 14 years does smack of the Daley Political Machine cheating as usual.

And yes, both sides may be accused of cheating, but it does seem that the Democrats have a tendancy to be less able to conceal their cheating. I don’t know if it’s because the cheaters are less intelligent or the investigators more intelligent.

As for Illinois, other then Reagan and when a Daley wasn’t mayor of Chicago, I don’t think the state’s voted for a federally elected republican. Sorry, I did forget Peter Fitzgerald, but then again, it’s been rumored that the reason he isn’t running again is because Daley’s put a contract out on his family if he does. Obviously, no one will say, but the rumor persists. And let’s not forget about Mr. Ryan (Geri’s ex-husband, not the old Govenor) who’s only crime was wanting to have sex with his wife, but the Daley administration perverted it and him and forced him to step down giving us a choice between two democrats for office instead of a republican and a democrate

And let’s talk Govenor’s office. Liscence for Bribes scandel, there’s so many leads pointing right at the Mayor’s office you have to be a blind mouse in a maze to miss it. But the Govenor is the one who got in trouble.

Then there’s the trucking scam where Daley gave no-bid contract awards to his family, paid them on time, but they didn’t go to work or complete the contract.

And my favorite! FAA tells him he can’t expand O’Hare because he has three airports. So over night, he violates another city’s sovereign rights and bull dozes their airport! (Mig’s Field.) Claim’s he wants to build a park, but they havn’t so much as planted a blade of grass in over 3 years!

Daley’s friggin above the law. I’ll wager that if he told Pres. Bush to stop running for office, his administration would seriously consider it. Of course, Daley could have the Pres. killed and not even end up with an eggshell on his suit!

BB’s are worth it as two hit ships. However, the real benefit to BBs is their intimidation factor. No one’s afraid of DDs or Subs, but you put 2 BBs with your AC and 2 fighters and no one’s going to WANT to attack it.

Marine:

There are plenty of ignorant Republicans too. I really wish people would care enough about their country to at least investigate what’s going on a little bit instead of just taking the media’s word for it and regurgitating any old sound bite that the media wants them too. That goes for BOTH Republicans and Democrats.

Undecides are either lieing or idiots. No one has NO opinion about anything going on. Sorry to those of you who think you’re undecided, but I doubt you really are. I’m sure you have opinions on abortion, death penalties, the war, police actions, the UN, the president, taxes, medicine, socialist programs (ie Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Welfare, etc), religion, or anything else that can be made political. If you have an opinion one one of those things, you arnt undecided, you’re just looking for a reason to support one side or the other. (Either that or actually informed because you research the candidate and select that way!)

oh, believe me, I love having ACs…I’ve been known to pull up along shore with 4-6 of them with 2 fighters each.

We even have a house rule that SS don’t exist, but you can have Super ACs which hold 3 fighters instead of 2. (you can actually fit 3 fighters on the deck too, if you’re careful!) It’s a beautiful site.

BTW, we also have a house rule that there are no chips. When you run out of pieces you can’t build anymore. smile

Point 1: The Phillipeans arn’t a world power that has a tendancy to try and shove their cultural and moral view points down the throats of sovereign nations like we do, though. I’d hesitate to put forward a theory, but, do you think their terrorist rate would drop significantly if they had a male president?

Point 2: Yes, anyone who discards a vote where the intent of the voter was plainly obvious, FOR ANY REASON, should be disenfranchised on the spot and permanently removed from any municiple, state or federal government position. Hanging chad, dimpled chad, whatever - you still know how they WANTED to vote.

Point 3: Wasn’t it President Clinton that held the absentee ballots from the military men and women over seas so long that there was no way they could get them back in time to be counted in the election? I’m sorry, but it’s my opinion that the only people on this country you DON’T want to get ticked off is the military! They have all the guns!

Point 4: We are still finding ballot boxes from Republican communities here in Chicago and the suburbs. (Daily Herald - Chicago - reported that they found 3 boxes in the Chicago River when they were checking fecal material levels. Of course, this being Daley’s country, the report was buried on page 28-32, somewhere in there. I want to say 29, I’ve got it in my garage. But the report did say that it held some ballots from the 2000 election (most had been destroyed by pollution, current and time.))

Point 5: Running against Reagan in the 80’s is sort of akin to running against FDR during WWII. You sorta only did it to prove that your party wasn’t dead, but you really didn’t expect to win anyway. wink That’s TOTALLY my perspective and is not based in ANY fact or rumored fact!

You forgot Illinois. Unless Prime Minister, god of all creation and his royal majesty Daley (ere I mean Mayor of Chicago) dies, he’ll engineer the election in the great state of Illinois to be for Kerry, that’s another 20-22 electoral votes.

(BTW, it’s amazing, but in every presidential election in Illinois when a Daley wasn’t sitting on the throne, the state has voted for the Republican….hmm, makes ya think! BTW, we are still the only state in the union with 100% turn out of deceased citizens at the ballot boxes!)

If Alexei was in the army, as a volunteer, defending freedom and following orders, I would prefer for him to die in war then in a training accident.

Does that help?

The only problem I can foresee with a female president would be how some foreign nations may view her, and in turn us. After all, there are some nations, whether right or wrong, that do not hold women in very high regard and do treat them as second rate citizens at best, cattle at worst.

As for if Hillary runs, I sure hope Lisa Madigan, Condoleeza Rice or some other strong woman runs against her if she does. I’d hate to see her get elected because of her genes. (Not to mention, Woman v Woman would mean a Woman President. smile)

BTW, I really wish President Bush would have selected a woman VP.

Baghdad 2004, for the average, unarmed American civilian, is way safer then Baghdad has ever been since World War II for Americans. It’s safer then New York!

I gaurentee you that more innocent civilians are killed in murders, rapes, muggings, and other violent crimes per month in New York then have been lost in Iraq since 1950.

Let’s face it. Yes, there are a few murders. Yes, there are some imported terrorists. Yes, there will be free elections in January 2005. Yes, our military is assisting the Iraqi’s in restoring peace to their lands and their government. Yes, there are contractors and soldiers who are dieing. Yes, it cost a little money. Yes, Kerry voted against all the safety equipment our soldiers needed and the Pres. didnt have the time to outfit them right. Yes, it means that our soldiers are at more of a risk. Yes, more men died in a single battle in Vietnam then the entire war against Terrorism + the casualties that started the war on terrorism.

If Clinton was doing this, you’d be lauding him with praise. But he isnt. He wouldnt. He should have after the two embassy bombings Osama did, or the USS Coal attack Osama did.

Get over it. This is war. Actually, this is War on Television, this isn’t even war…it’s a police action with force, if anything. On one hand you beg us to help with a dictator over here, then on the other you bitch when we take a corrupt one out over there.

And you wonder why I say “screw the world. Let Americans save Americans.” Sheesh!

What’s scary is if President Bush does win again, then Vice President Cheney will be charbroiling whoever the Democrates unfortunately choose to run against him.

Though, knowing the Clintons, that’ll be Senator Clinton and she’ll try to ride her femine reproduction organs into the White House…

I think 80 soldiers dieing in a month is irrelevant considering there are probably more killed in training accidents weekly then 80.

However, I do know there are more murders in the major cities of the US, more deaths to car accidents and certainly more deaths in air accidents then have yet occured in any single month in Iraq - and I’m including civilian casualties as well.

All things considered, it’s safer to walk along the streets of Baghdad then it is in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. or Detroit.

Russia isn’t going to be putting the full economic force of it’s country against Japan before round 4 though. As you said, they’ll have to wait for the US and UK to start really helping them against Germany, and the US won’t be much help until T3.

Personally, I was working on the assumption that Japan or the United Kingdom would be the strongest as they are the least likely to be destroyed in a reasonable amount of time but still close enough to the real fighting to contribute enough that they can decide the game.

That’s probably a bit confusing, since it’s confusing in my own head. Basically, Japan and Britian are islands and thus are very difficult to invade, unlike Germany and Russia.

Japan and Britian both start with powerful navies.

Japan and Britian can both land-bridge quite effectively to invade their closest enemies. (Whereas Germany and Russia really cannot until either Germany or Russia is destroyed.)

The United States really does not come into it’s own in this game (standard edition, no bids, etc) until after the 3rd round. A) they need to rebuild a navy. 1 BB and 2 Transports arn’t going to cut it, especially given that the BB and 1 Transport need 2 turns to get to E USA and 1 turn to bring combat to the enemy there-after. (Panama being two sea zones, not one.)

I vote 3 hit BBs and attack/defend at 5 but cost 54 IPCs. (You can repair damage at 18 IPCs per pip/dmg point)
