there. It stretched out for almost two years."<br/>
<br/>
LOL, I guess not since Tyre was on an island, about a half mile from the coast. It also took that long cause he had to build a mole all the way to the island. It was ...

"His army could NOT be beaten in a fair fight. PERIOD." <br/>
<br/>
What would you call fair? At the battle of Gaugamela, Some figures state Darius army consisted of a million men, 40,000 cavalry, many scythed chariots, and some elephants. Alexander met them with 40,000 men ...

Ahhh...., I see those who know all the little details of Alexander's life are starting to come forward.

Once you really find out just what he did, and how he did it, you come to realise he was the greatest leader of all time.

IMHO, of course.

<t>"By your reasoning, if your army was armed with all the modern weapons and my army was armed with sticks and stones, and yet, I managed to kick your *** for 4 years before finally surrendering because the outcome was inevitable from the beginning that makes you a great general and me a mere "also ...

<r>Well, thats only speculation. Since he did die when he did, we will never know how long his empire could of lasted. <br/>
<br/>
So, only the facts remain, he was never defeated, he took over the world, and changed the course of history. Which makes him the undispuded champion of all military ...

<r>"Robert E. Lee <br/>
Napoleon "<br/>
<br/>
I guess you must of forgot that these two were ultimately defeated.<br/>
<br/>
Alexander was never defeated, and he did no less than take over the then known world. <br/>
<br/>
Also, go and find out just how he did it, and look at the odds he went up ...

There's really no contest:

Alexander the Great, who else.

<t>Right now, I'm reading two books. <br/>
<br/>
One is "The War in the Pacific", by John Costello. Its a one volume account of the entire Pacific war. (Huge book of course)<br/>
<br/>
The other is "Alexander The Great and His Time", by Agnes Savill. I have come to realise that Alexander The Great ...

"Bump"

<t>I think the technology is already here for what I would call the greatest wargame ever!<br/>
<br/>
I wish someone would take the much neglected theater, ( of course were talking about the Pacific theater here ), and make it so a player could be zoomed all the way out to what I would call a living ...

Yes sir, that sounds good.

<r>Sure, lets give it a try. I'm already playing as the Japanese in that senario, ( My first and only PBEM game with UV ) so I'd like to play as the Americans if its alright. Go ahead and send the first file, Commander.<br/>

Cool, I'm glad it finaly worked. Btw, how many PBEM games have you got going? ( hint, hint )

Mine downloaded like a charm. Are you sure you double clicked on the: Update-UV True Update Client :icon in your Uncommon Valor folder?

<t>I'd have to say Billy Sheehan. I saw him live with Mr. big, and he blew me away. I also like Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. Might not of been the best, but solid, and has very good stage presence. Gotta have good stage presence.<br/>
<br/>
Take Flea for an example. Very good Bass player. But when ...

<t>Ya, Dave. Kenny Wayne Shepherd is also very good. Especially for his age. Every summer my good friend Mike always puts on a blues fest with alot of good BBQ at his house. We get a bunch of guy's together and hammer out some blues tunes for that get together. Last year one of the songs we played ...

<t>"You got one guitarist here"<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Actually I'm a guitarist too, left a post in this thread about it, but I guess bass player's don't talk too much to guitarist's as they did'nt even acknowledge that I left a post. <br/>
<br/>
Altho I'm more of a metal guitarist, I'm a big ...

<r>Hold on there all you bass players. I've been playing guitar for about 27 years. I'm 37 now, and still write music with my best friend who is a singer and also likes war games.<br/>
<br/>
Played in various bands thru the eighties, now just do it for a hobbie. ( like I don't have enough hobbies ...

<r>I too have been telling my CM PBEM buddies and spreading the word.<br/>
You see, even tho I really enjoy land combat, my first love has alway's been naval comat and the pacific side of things. Ever since I was a kid reading books from Samuel Eliot Morison, and to trying teach my friends to play ...

<t>Ya, I finaly just broke down and ordered the game. I've been haunting this website for some time now, and after hearing all the good reports on the game, I just have to have it. <br/>
<br/>
I remember the good fun my friend and I had everytime we played Avalon Hill's "Flat top" when we were kids ...
