Re: Worst and Best American General?

One thing I need to point out. Benedict Arnold was *not* in command at the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, Ethan Allen was, and Allen's refusal to mention Arnold in his report absolutely infuriated him. In addition, Arnold was not involved at all in the transport of the cannon and supplies from Ticonde...

There was a lot of tech proliferation in the era though, so odds are that within 6 months to a year of a discovery, everyone will know of it. It might instead be easier to have the mods, every quarter or two quarters or even yearly, roll to determine if a specific key breakthrough from the period i...

Madagascar has a new unit! It's the single most badass unit in the game, so you all might as well surrender now. It'll hurt less that way.

I have the opposite problem, in that there are only 3 locations where my forces can be placed, 4 if I subdivide Madagascar itself between the city and the rest of the island. Plus most of my assets can easily redeploy between Madagascar, the Seychelles and Mauritius as needed.

In addition there are sighting reports of Confederation airships concentrating near the Seychelles." "Annoying but expected. The usual response to remind ...

BB's come in groups of 3, and cost 90 points for 3, not 90 points EACH (or so I was given to understand from the rules)

There was also the Boeing Peashooter in this period, the first 'modern' monoplane fighter in the 30's. Boeing deliberately used some outdated features to ease acceptance, including a braced wing rather than a cantilever wing and fixed landing gear.

It did get cut off, and I was so tired when I posted that I didn't notice! I posted the rest into the reply, and it *looks* like it worked fine.

Sorry about the asterix, when I looked at the preview it looked fine, I editted the rest of the demarqs to 10.

And I'm glad you are enjoying it!

Magi finally twisted my arm, so I'm here now as well. Steve has been posting most of my stuff lately, but I didn't see Triple Threat up, so I've posted it now that it is complete. And yes, I'm a newb when it comes to writing, any and all feedback is really appreciated, even of the 'that SUCKS' variety
