I think they finally signed a peace treaty in the ‘90#,but the point still stands.

That would have been a seminole event in US history, a real watershed.

I’ll get my hat and coat but not before reminding you of the glorious feats of arms that were Operations Urgent Fury and Just Cause (AKA Operation Just ‘cos). Go America!!

Aw c'mon - Clint and Melvin van Peebles together! - what's not to love? Ignore the Cuban civil servants/engineers. Who hasn't called in an airstrike using a credit card? I know I have. (Actually it was loose change in a telephone box on Salisbury Plain in Ex Gryphon's Eye but you know - potatoes, potatoes!)

Fuck me, but Dan is on a roll. I happen by the ancients board and am intrigued by the title of a thread and what do I see?

I guess between that and this http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=479775 we can see there are people he hates even more than communists.

"I respect anyone’s feelings in this area,"

"Others do and that’s fine by me."

It would seem not?

Naval gazing? is that like submarine races? or trainspotting? or the latest dream pop band?

Yes, I do think I'm quite clever.

I think I'm more concerned by people who react to any moral epiphany in gaming by describing it as

'TMP naval gazing/I-like-WWII-but-won't-play-Germans-but-you-can-but-I-am-better-than-you judgmental bullshit'

than I am by those who come to question what they are gaming.

That doesn't mean I would always agree with those with the moral quandary, but I'd rather someone had it rather than shrugging it off and looking up the victory points for bayoneting 100 plus tied up civilians.

Long ago in a wargaming universe far far away I vowed I would never “do” WWII because I would have to be either a dirty Commie or a filthy fascist.
Now that I’m playing Flames etc my best friends have German armies and I have a HUGELY big Soviet army. Go figure.
I almost bought a Fallschirmjaeger “army”, once. I came to my senses and bought Late War British instead.
