bknelson50 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I played CMBO/AK for several years (under the username of Snagg), and for one am extremely glad to see this version being released. I have many fond memories of playing CMBO by email with folks in England, and hope to rekindle those relationships with this game. As an aside, we yanks (some of us at least) are watching the upcomming nuptials with great interest and pride. Our ties to England are deep and despite squabbling from time to time (for good reasons) we remain strong and true allies. God save the Queen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back but speek for yourself RE: the Royal Nuptials. The coverage is nauseating. And why would any American celebrate autocracry? This "tie" was severed long ago for very good reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Oh come on, these celebrity events are for little girls. It will only get interesting if a 109 tries a strafing run 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJJ Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm just looking forward to the Royal wedding being done and not having to see their mugs on the television every two minutes on every major "news" channel. Flash ... people who you don't know and never met getting hitched isn't news. It's celebrity gossip/worship at it's worst. Overall, if I had to decide if the wedding of a couple of hyper-privileged rich brats, or the political troubles in places like Yemen or the internecine warfare in Nigeria or the environmental cleanup that's needed in Japan after the tsunami or the release date of CMBN is more important, I know where I'd fall. What is the monarchy for in this century again, anyway? And yes, I'm from Canada and we have their pics plastered all over our coinage and still have a Governor General (for whatever reason). Monarchy, smonarchy. P.S. What time's American Idol on again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Wargamer Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well I'm proud of our Canadian head of state. Unlike our US cousins we stayed true to the faith during that unpleasant 13 colony rebellion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well said RCMP. I'll bet Native Americans wish the 13 colonies had kept the faith too. Hmmm, I wonder if they would have been allowed to build all those lucrative casinos. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well said RCMP. I'll bet Native Americans wish the 13 colonies had kept the faith too. Yep I understand Native Americans constantly point out to us Americans how Canada has behaved so differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymru Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well said RCMP. I'll bet Native Americans wish the 13 colonies had kept the faith too. I’m not sure Canada’s treatment of First Nations is anything to brag about either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpig Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Sad but true. Especially when you consider that South Africa's Apartheid system was partly modelled after Canada's Indian Act of 1876. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkhorn1x Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Sad but true. Especially when you consider that South Africa's Apartheid system was partly modelled after Canada's Indian Act of 1876. What’s that? Colonists not exactly kind and generous to the indigenous population? The hell you say! Seriously (and sadly) that’s been the normal state of affairs since…forever. Oh I know that doesn’t make it right but one should be careful to account for the tenor of the times when judging historical events. After all, it wasn’t too long ago from a historical perspective that slavery was the norm and not merely the exception. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce90 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My little nation once covered the whole of the British Isles then a succession of invaders culminating in the English pushed us farther and farther west until we ended up in the wild mountains from where we would sweep down onto the rich lowlands, raiding for cattle,sheep and other booty, burning homesteaders farms and towns and villages and ambushing patrols of the English army. Actually this sounds quite familiar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
