All this talk of schism and revolution is so much chin exercise. We who have been here since the beginning know that there is but One True 'Pool. Those who pretend to petty titles of Knighthood, Lordship or CaptainPugwashdom are merely fleas dancing on the back of the Giant Turtle that Supports the Universe. The Five Elements are immutable and the Master knows that by understanding the Way he is superior to Ten Thousand things. All that was, is now and will be. So who's for a bit of a sing-song, then? Here are the words of the Prophet. We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky Though I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? There's nothing in the streets Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Are now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss

Another thing to remember is the difference between maximum range (30m - 60m - 100m) and effective range. I don't pretend to know exactly what these are, but they are certainly significantly less than maximum range. ------------------ Ethan ----------- "We forbid any course that says we restrict free speech." -- Dr. Kathleen Dixon, Director of Women's Studies, Bowling Green State University

In CM, graphical fire is an abstraction. From its graphical depiction, you have no way of knowing where in the building the fire started. It is unclear to me whether you recognize this basic aspect of the game. I don't know, and perhaps only Charles does, whether the game engine models the position of the fire relative to the occupants of a building when the TacAI is determining which action to take. If it does model this, then the FO was taking precisely the correct action: get out of the burning building ASAP and take your chances. If the game engine doesn't model this, then you're still operating from a data set of 1, which leaves a heck of a lot of room to say "stuff happens". Personally, I have not seen wholesale panic flight toward the enemy in any game I have played, and that is not for lack of routed troops. I play Axis and Allied troops about equally. It is my considered opinion that you are inferring way, way too much from one data point. ------------------ Ethan ----------- "We forbid any course that says we restrict free speech." -- Dr. Kathleen Dixon, Director of Women's Studies, Bowling Green State University

You can take a boat tour of Scapa Flow and cruise by all the wrecks. It's an amazing experience. The rings and Viking tombs are also well worth seeing. Somewhere I have lots of pictures of the Ring of Brodgar. And Highland Park does distillery tours that are well worth the effort. Be aware, however that there is another whiskey from Orkney called "Scapa"; it is to be avoided.

Please rest assured that our production department is hard at work on new and improved editions of Grog Porn® for our loyal customers.
