Heinrich505 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Bud,  The recon and "quiet" is just heightening the intensity of the story. I was already holding my breath as the scouts were slowly crawling forward, sure at any minute that the enemy would open fire and the red crosses would start sprouting. Great work!!!  Heinrich505 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, I could only afford to do this much effort at recon because the time for the battle was very generous. If it had been the more usual time allotted I’m not sure how I’d be able to compensate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad that worked in the comic because each minute I was creeping around in those wood I was expecting to lose multiple guys...but it didn’t happen. Well, not until that sniper got lucky, anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich505 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Geez Bud, tell Hirsch to stop leading from the front.  The Ami are almost out of command squad to shoot at. Just Hirsch and the radio man. This keeps up and someone else is gonna finish writing that letter to Paula. Yikes.

Oh, bloody hell, next you'll inform me how we live in an anarchosyndicalist commune!  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 "Anarcho-syndicalists view the primary purpose of the state as being the defense of private property, and therefore of economic, social, and political privilege, denying most of its citizens the ability to enjoy material independence and the social autonomy that springs from it.[3] Reflecting the anarchist philosophy from which it draws its primary inspiration, anarcho-syndicalism is centred around the idea that power corrupts and that any hierarchy that cannot be ethically justified must either be dismantled or replaced by decentralized egalitarian control." Don't get it. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "Empire" rather than Commonwealth or Realm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
